How to Institutionalize Project Management Practices in an Organization

Abstract

Based on my decades of experience in a large corporation, explanations are provided on approaches and considerations for incorporating broad range of systematic practices into an organization. While recognizing the importance of project management, it is not easy to institutionalize it as organizational efforts. This paper describes the activities, structures, and concepts necessary to utilize externally established disciplines and practices across an organization to adapt to a changing business environment and to improve individual and organizational capabilities.
