The document discusses the establishment of the L&T Institute of Project Management (L&T IPM) by Larsen & Toubro to enhance project management knowledge. It outlines the vision, mission, charter and courses offered by L&T IPM across different levels (L0-L3) aimed at personnel with varying experience levels. Survey results indicate that the courses effectively improved participants' project management knowledge and abilities. However, the small sample size limits conclusions about long term impact on project performance. Overall, the document shows how L&T IPM aims to develop world-class project managers and make L&T a center of excellence in project management.

93. Course Effectiveness Survey Results PM Knowledge enhancement - L&T I’PM

95. The survey was carried out just after one and a half years after the participants went through PM education. This period is too short for application of the knowledge and results on long duration projects.

96. The ideal way would be to create a control sample of participants who did not go through the program and compare their on-project performance with those of whom that underwent the program.PM Knowledge enhancement - L&T I’PM

97. PM education brings in value addition for the project personnel in : Understanding the project processes Financial aspects of projects The importance of Time, Scope and Cost in projects. PM Knowledge enhancement - L&T I’PM
