Topic: Project Management Model of the Future: Aligning Expertise Instead of Managing and Controlling
Project Management Model of the Future: Aligning Expertise Instead of Managing and Controlling
A new project management model has been under development at Arizona State University. A model aligning expertise instead of management and control has been used to deliver complex services including construction, IT, professional services, and combination construction/professional services. Instead of increasing the planning functions of planning, coordination, communications, and requirement details, the new model decreases these functions. Instead it uses new concepts to identify experts, assist the experts to define their solutions, and measure and minimize the project deviations.
The new model minimizes the risk of the project managers, and assists them to increase their leadership and quality assurance capabilities. The preliminary results are 98% customer satisfaction, minimal vendor caused project deviations, and increased vendor profit without increased project cost. Dominant results have been documented at Arizona State University, the University of Minnesota, the infrastructure agency in the Netherlands that is testing the process on a $800M fast track project, and the States of Oklahoma, Idaho, and Alaska.
