“The development of project managers needs to change from current preoccupation with learning techniques for the application
of the so-called best practices
-Ali Jaafari
University of Sydney
Project Management Journal December 2003 p 56
to competency for management of both
project and environmental complexity.”

spend more time on
understanding the
context of the situation
spend more time on
deciding on a course
of action
What’s the situation here?
What’s the history?
What could change?
What am I really trying to
accomplish?
What’s the best practice?
What should I do?
Man! I wish I had more time.

Trend: PMI Standards Emphasize Project Linkages to Strategy
“In order to bridge the gap between
organizational strategy and successful
business value realization, the use of
portfolio, program, and project
management techniques is essential.”

57% of PMOs reported that they
are providing strategic decision
support and the PMO is involved
in strategy discussions in some
way
“More and more, PMOs are getting
involved in strategic-decision support”

N=167, ongoing survey

A question for you to ponder…
why are PMOs
increasingly involved in
strategy discussions?
(I’ll offer a few insights as we go along)

So… what is strategy?
![Page 23: Greg githens strategic thinking presentation pmi central in](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081404/55944f1d1a28ab0f198b462b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Reality Check
“Our senior management team can neither
develop a competent strategy for our
organization nor execute it.”
“Our organization has no formal process for
developing strategy.”
50% of executives
agreed with this
statement! N=1000
40% agreed

Reality Check
“Most executives cannot articulate the
objective, scope and advantages of their
business in a simple statement. If they can’t,
then neither can anyone else.”
– Collis and Rukstad in a 2008 HBR article that was selected for the
McKinsey Award for best article
(2 of 2)

1st….. What strategy isn’t…
“executives who complain about execution
problems have usually
confused strategy with goal setting” *
The result is “bad strategy” that
..is full of fluff statements. “Our fundamental strategy is
one of customer-centric intermediation.”
…fails to recognize or confront challenges.
* Richard Rumelt, Good Strategy/Bad Strategy

“The world of the future will be an
ever more demanding struggle against the
limitations of our intelligence,
not a comfortable hammock in which we
can lie down to be waited upon by our
robot slaves.” Norbert Wiener, 1964

What are the
benefits of
thinking strategically?

people from
thinking strategically?

Unless you take the time to
think strategically,
you will always be in fire-fighting
and crisis-management mode.
