Project leaders must be able to create and maintain a channel of communication with their teams and their customers and escalation and correction agreements in the event of deviations from the plan or unforeseen circumstances. The challenge of finishing a project in time and cost is enhanced when it has to be done quickly, optimising costs. The execution management, which is the one that allows the adequate provisioning of the resources both in time and informs and quality according to the needs of the project, as well as the proper administration of them.It is of no use to us to have a team with the best technical credentials if they can change “on the fly” to a customer who has to react to competitors’ new product or a regulation’s change.

Experience is nothing more than having done similar tasks in the past, gaining a specific knowledge resoluting problems that arise during the execution, and suffering the famous “war wounds” that are often translated as “war trophies”.Speaking of the knowledge and tools that are required to be able to face a circumstance, understand it, and implement a successful solution quickly requires elements such as: Still much more time had to be invested and many more resources without achieving – or at least not totally – the planned initially goals. In both cases, a rapid intervention was designed. Two examples are the wars of Vietnam and Afghanistan. It is critical having an arsenal of knowledge and tools that will enable them to act in a short time and with absolute success.Īt the other extreme, there are countless experiences in where a planned short-term execution that in the long run resulted “n” times longer and expensive than initially planned. It isn’t easy to imagine a person, company, or other organisation type succeeding in a short period without having the elements that allow them to understand integrally the context they face.
