Enterprise Project Project Management - Cultural Adoption

Far too often organizations recognize the need for Enterprise Project Management (EPM), implement a solution, and encounter crippling cultural resistance to their imitative. Yet many companies are able to integrate EPM into their organizational structure with virtually no resistance. The difference is the readiness for and acceptance of change in the company. This paper provides a framework for how to avoid the pitfalls, adhere to proven best practices in EPM, and realize the benefits and huge ROI available from successful EPM implementations.

This white paper reveals that while most decisions on the project level are concerned with tactical issues, decision making on the portfolio level is concerned with strategic issues. Today's emphasis on project portfolio management (PPM) is part of a trend towards systems thinking in organizational life. Instead of tweaking the parts (individual projects, departments or processes), systems theory encourages to look first at the whole: the enterprise.

A solution that focuses on automating the key business processes that surround service delivery fundamentally changes the way companies go about managing their high-value people and projects. The best solution creates a high-efficiency online platform where all the value-producing people in an organization come together to plan, schedule and deliver projects, issue updates, track costs, share knowledge, follow best practices, and even help develop careers.
