Many business owners do not know the importance of Project Management but almost every large and successful business achieves its success through delivering projects. In fact, companies like ANZ, Newcrest Mining, Powercor, GlaxoSmithKline and National Foods, spend millions and sometimes billions on Project Management. I have had the pleasure of working with all of these companies on a large range of project initiatives and that is why I can tell you that they would not be where they are without sound Project Management. I have worked on projects for a variety of industries and companies in India, the UK, New Zealand, the USA, Australia and Papua New Guinea. The experience gained from these projects has demonstrated to me that Project Management is a universal language.
In Project Management, did you know there are several worldwide, recognised methods that each have their own benefits? There are things to consider when choosing the appropriate method for your project. I can help to guide you towards the right choice, depending on the individual needs of your business.
So what is the difference between Operations (business as usual) and Project Management? I will answer this question in my workshop. I will teach you what you need to know about Project Management for small business, why it is important, and how it can help your business to grow.
How Project Management Improves Businesses
Every entrepreneur or businessperson wants to improve the sales of their business and be successful. To successfully complete objectives and goals, one must observe careful planning, management and organisation from the available manpower and resources. Project Management is a very effective tool to optimise your available resources and meet the demands of your customers.
What is Project Management?
Project Management is the careful effort of planning and organising to successfully achieve one’s goal easily. The term “Project” means a single time action that produces specific and certain results. It includes creating a ‘project plan’ that includes identifying the project objectives and goals, defining how the objectives will be attained, quantifying the needed resources, and identifying the budget and time for completion. Project Management also includes proper management of the plan of action, maintaining the accuracy of every action and implementing with minimal issues.
Importance of Project Management in Your Business
The importance of Project Management is not only served to the customers of the business; it is also served to the people involved in the project. Some of the benefits of effective Project Management are listed below:
• Project Management increases the quality of your business. Products or services rendered by your business are positively affected by the process producing a high quality of products.
• Because Project Management lays down a ‘path’ which is easy to follow, efficiency of delivering products or services becomes better.
• Successful completion of the project allows your business to enhance itself in delivering products and services over and over again.
• Smart Project Management enables your business to be more competitive and keep its standing on the market firm and secure.
• Because of your firm standing in the marketplace, Project Management opens up an opportunity to expand your business. This means higher sales in the future.
