Project Management:
How recognised is it by the C-Suite?
Three decades ago, 80% of the resources in an organisation were dedicated to operations, and 20% to projects; today, that ratio has flipped, according to the Harvard Business Review. Despite this massive disruption, there is still a lack of understanding and lack of recognition at C-Suite/senior executive level for the project profession. This is important because of the significant role that projects and project professionals play in driving growth and transformation.
This paper explores the evolving perceptions of project management at leadership level, discussing the factors driving its recognition, challenges faced, and strategies for fostering alignment with leadership priorities.
