Projects

This section of the website focuses on the importance to business operations of continually improving the efficiency and effectiveness of undertaking projects that help to improve prosperity by improving existing products and services or developing new ones. It also emphasizes the importance of contributing to the well-being of our planet by designing the project processes to minimize the impact of the product and the project on the environment. Information is provided on what is referred to as “Functionalization” which represents a challenge in efficiently and effectively integrating project processes, particularly those involving different functional disciplines.

Organizational leaders with the responsibility for sustaining and improving the competitiveness of their organization are motivated to implement strategies that improve performance and prosperity. It is important to provide these leaders with an understanding that improving the level of partnership in performing project processes is a means of not only improving performance and prosperity but also developing an organizational culture committed to the organization’s prosperity and the well-being of the society the organization serves. Other sections of this website have information on the importance of improving partnership as a means of improving organizational prosperity. (See Partnerships tab)

Under the “OLC Resources” tab there is a sub tab which describe a systematic approach to helping organizations learn by undertaking a pilot project in which frontline workers are empowered and provided with the ability to define and improve the processes they use to get work done.( 4.

There are also additional sub tabs that help to describe a systematic approach for developing and integrating project processes and a link “How” which provides a network of PowerPoint presentations that help an organization learn how to undertake the various steps required to improve project and operational performance by improving the organization’s processes.
