TITLE: When the Project is the Business

Most project management literature describes projects that support a business – internal initiatives, funded from a budget, measured by benefits realized somewhere down the line. But a large share of today’s projects involve two or more organizations as customers and contractors. These projects are business. Project Business.

Drawing on more than three decades in cross-corporate project settings, this talk introduces Project Business Management as the discipline for projects done for money. It shows where common project management practices fail in contract-based projects, what project managers on both sides of the interface should do differently, and why the health of a contractor’s projects and the health of the contractor itself are, in the end, the same thing.
