The need of an industry is your career opportunity.
It is a measurable trend: Industries are moving from cross-functional internal projects to cross-corporate project business, building a truely commerce-based project economy.
Now, organizations need a new type of project managers:
- Project Customers
need project managers able to engineer and manage complex project project supply networks made from contractors, subcontractors, etc., ensuring an over-arching 'Mission Success First' culture. - Project Contractors
need project managers to run projects as temporary profit centers for their employers, ensuring happy customers, but also profitability of the project and protection of the company's liquidity.
Still, most project managers in project business learn their skills by trial and error. However, trial in project business is expensive, and error even more. There is a strong business case to give the responsibility for the precious project business only to project managers who are also well-trained in commercial and legal matters.
This is what the Project Business Academy, a division of the Project Business Foundation gives its students: The professionalism that helps respond to the specific challenges and risks of project business. Plus business acumen and business spirit needed to make project business an enjoyable success.
