Organizations rely on projects to drive strategy thereby delivering value and innovation to their customers. Projects must be aligned with corporate strategy, with clear measures in place to create shareholder value. By focusing on the organizational climate for project execution, companies can enable project teams to be more effective in achieving a successful outcome.

Organizations must consider:

• Are projects being implemented according to the company's business strategy?
• Does upper management fully understand and support the project management process?
• Are core teams involved in the development of all project plans?
• Are there metrics to assess and ensure customer satisfaction?

Individuals at all levels of an organization need to know how to support projects for maximum business performance.

We at OPnet focus on improving the project environment for organizational success and successful strategic execution. In some of our work we use SMG solutions. As a Registered Education Provider with the Project Management Institute (PMI), SMG's solutions are aligned with the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK). Our tools include:

Project Environment Assessment – Using a normed project environment assessment tool developed with Robert J. Graham, a recognized expert co-author of Creating an Environment for Project Success, individuals throughout an organization rate its project management climate. OPNET then works closely with clients to analyze the data and develop solutions that meet the identified gaps.
.
Tools and Techniques - By providing organizations with efficient project processes and tools, OPnet provides project managers and core team members with a framework for organizing project tasks and orchestrating a successful project outcome. Mastery of these fundamental technical concepts will lead to increased productivity and greater project effectiveness.

Project Leadership - Projects most often fail as a result of poor communication, conflict on teams, lack of stakeholder buy-in, and other behavioral and organizational issues. OPnet helps project managers develop the interpersonal competencies necessary to lead their teams and manage stakeholder interests more effectively.

Project Manager's MBA - When projects are managed as a business process rather than a technical process, their outcomes drive strategy and create economic value for the company. OPnet enables project managers to think outside the Triple Constraints of project management-time, budget and quality-and focus on "big picture" issues such as how their projects impact the company's growth and profitability.

Creating an Environment for Successful Strategic Execution - A supportive organizational culture is the key to project success. OPnet focuses top management on improving the organizational climate for strategic execution through a strategic portfolio of initiatives, programs and projects, enabling teams to be more focused, effective and efficient.
