In ISO 10006, maturity and excellence in project-based management style (PMS) are the major criteria for classifying the management quality of business organizations. PMS is the best known for creating an enabling environment for (1) a successful application of a wide range of technical (mathematical, graphical and IT) planning tools; (2) completion of business activities within cost, time and quality constraints; and (3) exploitation of the benefits (trust, cooperation, communication, creativity, etc) of team dynamics. This last one is an ingredient so essential for successful integration of such popular management processes as TQM, concurrent engineering, risk management, change management, etc, required to maximally satisfy the customer as well as engender continuous improvements. The main goal of this three-track training workshop is to show how business organizations can attain maturity and excellence in adopting project management style.
