and achieving greater results from project-based work: realizing a competitive advantage by executing strategy through projects: significant advancements in maturity of people, processes, and the environment of a project-based organization. \u00a0It involves forming a picture of an ideal environment for implementing projects: and requires an honest assessment of the current reality. \u00a0A Maturity Survey provides data about the environment, and gets management attention about strengths, development opportunities, benchmark comparisons, best practices, and action plans.<\/p>\n<p>The multimedia experience in this keynote address <!--more-->brings forth viewpoints, insights, and practices about <em>why<\/em>, <em>what<\/em>, and <em>how<\/em> to create excellence in project management.\u00a0 This goal is necessary because projects are the means to achieve almost anything in every organization.\u00a0 Without good project, program, and portfolio management, achieving results is tenuous at best.\u00a0 Traditional efforts are not sufficient in an environment where internal and external forces are both driving and restraining performance in an accelerating manner.<\/p>\n<p>First, assemble pieces of a puzzle that optimize the environment for project work; second, traverse the path where a project office leads the change process to develop a project-based organization; and third, develop excellence in project sponsorship.\u00a0 Assess your current environment; compare that with an ideal environment; then share examples, actions, and improved practices about how to bridge the gap.\u00a0 Identify concepts that support rather than undermine project management as an organizational competency.\u00a0 Create a &#8220;green,&#8221; rather than &#8220;toxic,&#8221; environment that values project-based work.\u00a0 Get expert feedback and experience how to adopt, adapt, and apply leading practices that transform your approach to project management, no matter where you work.\u00a0 With these pieces in place, implement tools that support organizational maturity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I look forward to our discussions on these important topics at the <strong><em>Maturity Forum 2007<\/em><\/strong> on September 14th.\u00a0 See\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pmisv.org\/\">www.pmisv.org<\/a>. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Randy Englund, <a
