I’m excited to share my thoughts on a pivotal topic that Pierre Le Manh, president and CEO of PMI, brought to the forefront during his keynote at the PMI Global Summit 2024: how we measure project success. Le Manh challenges us to shift our perspective from traditional project management success to a broader understanding of project success—one that highlights the value our profession brings to the world.
As a certified Project Management Professional (PMP) with extensive experience in oil and gas, construction and higher education, I believe that adopting a more holistic approach is essential for achieving meaningful outcomes. A key concept that aligns perfectly with this new vision is opportunity framing.
Historically utilized in sectors like energy for large infrastructure projects, opportunity framing is a structured process that can adapt across diverse industries. It offers a robust framework for:
- Facilitating shared understanding among stakeholders, ensuring everyone is aligned toward common goals.
- Encouraging proactive risk management by identifying potential challenges upfront, thereby increasing the likelihood of success.
- Developing a comprehensive roadmap that guides projects with a strong focus on performance measurement.
I’ve witnessed firsthand how opportunity framing can lead to exceptional results in my work, particularly in leading project workshops at PETRONAS.
I’m eager to connect with fellow project management professionals who share a curiosity about expanding the use of opportunity framing in our projects. Let’s collaborate to promote understanding and adoption of this valuable tool, and drive our profession towards a more value-driven future.
