PROJECTS

About Projects

With the fast moving complex and technologically challenging world gaping at us and we are forced to find solutions to our business issues, mostly technology enabled or technology driven, stitching technology solutions can be the only answer. While requirements look conventional, the way it has to be dealt with in today’s tech environment, turns out to be totally different. Powerpoint presentations can only introduce you to a topic at the very best and even a detailed project proposal can have only a cursory value, if projects runs into rough weather and generally it does.Technologically, out of the box thinking is more as a matter of speaking rather than a reality being practiced. With the limited knowledge of products and ability to use a few products made available by the business enterprise and its associates, in a price range which is suitable for profits, can worthwhile technology solutions be even stitched.

Project management literature, thought and practice on the ground have no space for these behavioural traits. It’s brick & mortar of a different kind, from reviews to delivery. With the best of the professionals getting into the projects, from consultants to vendors, the vendors having a whole paraphernalia of supervision & audit mechanism, internal & external, the results are there for all of us see.The best a project can reach is completion with time and cost overruns without talking about all the gains & benefits as projected in totality. Ownership, responsibility and accountability are at the crux of our professional & personal existence since that time one can think of.These behavioural traits with the associated values and core competencies have not made its way into either procurement or management of projects across board.The successful creation of the deliverables of all projects at hand would have taken the country to the next level, undoubtedly.
