1. A survey of project managers found that relentless focus on meeting client expectations was the fourth most important factor for a successful project.
2. Respondents noted that complex projects require close relationships between clients and contractors to ensure all expectations are understood and addressed. Misalignment between teams can cause expectations to go unmet.
3. Using contract types and compensation methods that acknowledge project uncertainties, like both fixed price and rates, can help align expectations regarding risks and outcomes. Alliances that financially incentivize collaboration among project partners were cited as particularly effective.
The document discusses the results of a survey on what makes a great project. Applying best practices based on lean principles was rated the third highest priority by project managers and executives. The document then discusses how some companies have developed a "project model" approach, which outlines strategies and stages for projects based on lean principles, rather than just copying tactics from previous projects. This model approach aims to reduce waste and ensure projects create value for clients by aligning interdependent work before moving to subsequent stages.
Most traditional methodologies hold that a business case is something that a project manager inherits and that its responsibility sits with a sponsor, project executive or even a governance board of some sort. However the project manager can, and should, play a critical role in assessing and critiquing the business case to guard against project failure..
Building websites has gone from a technical service to one that serves to solve well-defined business problems. Gone are the days when everyone had to have a website only because it was expected. Today customers pay for a reason and for end results. Problem is, most web shops keep selling technical solutions to match feature-oriented requirements, never taking results or business goals, into consideration. As a result, shops are relegated to being specialist subcontractors and it results in projects rarely generating the kind of impact that is expected.
The shift to focusing on results is necessary to beat this trend of failed expectations. Turning from "to the letter requirements"-driven web development to result-only web investments generating tangible benefits may seem like a big leap, but brings advantages to both buyers and sellers. It fosters a culture of unified teamwork across all parties and takes away many of the causes for seller–buyer distrust.
In this talk I will show you how to take the step from focusing on fulfilling irrelevant requirements to talking results with your customers and increasing your customer satisfaction and team happiness at the same time.

CXO expectations of process improvement professionalsThe Jamilah H
Summary of interview responses from various Heads and Managers of Process Improvement on CXO expectations. This is a presentation at 13th Annual Lean Six Sigma Conference in May 2012.
This document provides guidance on managing portfolio projects. It discusses key dimensions of project delivery including product, organization, process, and client/business needs. It emphasizes setting project levers in equilibrium to reduce risk and increase certainty. Successful delivery requires good processes, people, technology, and great leadership. The four essential disciplines of portfolio management are planning, resource management, financial management, and change management. Status reporting must be consistent to effectively manage projects. Challenges include applying a flexible rather than "one size fits all" methodology. Tips for programme managers include allowing time for decisions, surrounding oneself with good project managers, and clearly understanding goals and authority.
The expert emphasizes the importance of developing empathy and understanding for clients through open dialogue and relationship building. Early meetings to exchange information about each other's businesses and personally get to know each other set the tone for a cooperative project. Understanding the client's purpose and priorities helps apply one's own work appropriately. The expert focuses on engaging with naysayers rather than just advocates, as skeptics may best understand problems, and their views could shift through genuine listening and mutual understanding.

Project Manager/Business Analyst friction and how to overcome it by Penny PullanMaking Projects Work Ltd.
This was a presentation for the IIBA UK Chapter in London on 28th May 2015, based on research presented at the PMI Global Congress earlier in the month.
It looks at the friction that exists between project managers and business analysts, explores why this is so and looks at how to overcome the issues.
This document discusses the evolving role of the business analyst from a traditional role focused on requirements documentation to a leadership role. It argues that for projects to be successful, the business analyst must lead in defining and advocating for the solution scope and business value. Specifically:
- Traditionally, the business analyst role focused on translating between business and IT and documenting requirements. However, the role has evolved to focus more on defining and recommending solutions and leading change enablement.
- For projects to deliver true business value, the business analyst must synthesize stakeholder needs, prioritize requirements, and challenge assumptions, which requires taking on a leadership role rather than just being a neutral party.

Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio ProblemMajid Iqbal
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.
Independent Study - College of Wooster Research (2023-2024) FDI, Culture, Glo...AntoniaOwensDetwiler
"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?

This is the 4th of 9 priorities
5. What makes a great project?
What are the expectations?
Here is what responders described as “client expectations”:
“Clear end-goals carefully planned out and then executed following a
predictable and transparent process.”
“A purpose described by financial and ESG goals, measured and addressed
at each stage. A rapid feedback loop immediately adjusting performance.”
“A plan based on optimal economics and functionality, implemented by a
visible leadership team, delivered by an aligned project team and supply
chain. Addressing uncertainty and mitigating risks. There will be problems,
but we expect you to address them immediately and solve them with
speed.”
“A detailed plan enabling the project to perform with agility, realigning
processes and interfaces at each stage, thereby maximizing efficiency.”
“Besides nobody getting hurt and staying on schedule, we had one
expectation which was to learn as much as possible. Perhaps selfish but
working in a great project can further your career.”
“We wanted to make sure that we also met the expectations of the
community we worked in – everyone had goals and metrics related to
that.”
