Project Management by Design

Business Finance

Kaplan and Norton (2008, pp.20-21) describe the role of leadership “as necessary and sufficient.” Project manager’s leadership is necessary and requires sufficient competencies in many areas to sustain continuous project success and improvements. What are five or six key competencies that are required of project managers in your company or industry? How are these competencies linked to a company’s strategy and the ability to remain competitive? As companies are demanding more from project managers, what are some ways project managers can improve their competencies? Make sure to fully explain the competencies and the rationale for choosing them.
