Steering

Many businesses are keeping clear directives for project management. Despite this more than 70% of all projects have to be considered a failure, resulting in a tremendous economic loss. Various studies prove this situation.

Loss is generated partly as direct cost due to delay, poor quality and/or inefficient risk management and partly as indirect cost due to consequential failures.

The major reason for failure is not, as one might assume, poor technology know-how but poor project management skills.

The main reasons are:

a) Lack of soft skills:

• Double workload due to disparate technical/disciplinary allocation
• Leading of inter-cultural project teams
• Communication, visualisation, presentation
• Leadership and motivation
• Conflict management and time management

b) Poor experience and knowledge in methodology:

• Risk management
• Project controlling
• Target definition
• Claim and change request management
• Change management
