STRATEGY AND PROGRAM MANAGEMENT


An organization’s competitiveness in the marketplace is directly related to the speed at which well planned strategy can be translated into action, and then implemented to realize benefits.The best run organizations succeed at this by ensuring that their executive level strategic planning continuously informs and influences all aspects of their value chains.

Enterprise Project Management (EPM) is the best way to ensure that organizational strategy is linked directly to the tasks that need to be performed by the organization. Utilizing functions such as portfolio, program and project management, EPM ensures that valuable capital assets and resources are first invested in the right initiatives, and then efficiently executed to realize planned strategic goals.

Large aerospace and defense organizations were some of the earliest adopters of EPM, in particular the powerful strategic function of program management; but in recent years, those in our industry have seen growing technical complexities, narrowing margins, frequently missed deadlines and customer dissatisfaction. It has become evident that EPM methods are not being used to their full potential, or even worse, not being used at all.
