The Organizational Context Project management Lecture 2

PM is contextual „Successful PM is contextual” (Pinto) = „the organization itself matters” Before the beginning of a project, organizational context have to be examined, relationships have to be specified, rules and procedures have to be established for the successful completition of a project. Especially in organizations where PM practices are not the operating form. Most important contextual issues are strategy, structure and culture.

Projects and Organizational Strategy Strategic management – the science of formulating, implementing and evaluating cross-functional decisions that enable an organization to achieve its objectives. Consists of: – Developing vision/mission statements – Formulating, implementing and evaluating: Projects are the vehicles to seize opportunities, capitalize strengths, and implement objectives. – Making cross functional decisions: operationalize business plans – Achieving objectives Stepping stones and buliding blocks of corporate strategy: operational reality behind strategies and visions

The firm’s strategic development is a driving force behind project development. Examples A firm wishing to…may have a project redevelop products or processes,to reengineer products or processes. change strategic direction or product portfolio configuration, to create new product lines. improve cross-organizational communication & efficiency to install an enterprise IT system.

Organizational Culture „ The unwritten rules of behavior, or norms that are used to shape and guide behavior, is shared by some subset of organization members and is taught to all new members of the company. ” Cultures are evolved not created, but they can be affected and modified (= managed). It is unique.

Key factors that affect culture development – Technology – Environment (stable or dynamic; simple or complex) – Geographical location (social, political, physical) – Reward systems – Rules and procedures – Key organizational members (founders, ”heroes”) – Critical incidents

Culture Affects Project Management Departmental interaction Employee commitment to goals Project planning Performance evaluation

Example for the effect of culture on projects: Escalation of commitment the phenomenon where people justify increased investment in a decision, based on the cumulative prior investment, despite new evidence suggesting that the cost, starting today, of continuing the decision outweighs the expected benefit. other name: sunk cost fallacy Why it is rooted in culture?
