Project management is a strategic competency that has successfully been applied in such high profile projects as rebuilding the Pentagon after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the transformation of IBM by Lou Gerstner from an IT hardware giant to an IT software and computer services leader, organizing and managing the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics, and the upcoming Summer Games in Beijing, just to name a few. If project management can play a major role in these success stories, just imagine what it might be able to do for your own organization!
