the role of business education in achieving business excellence
This case study discusses the experiences, benefits, and challenges of Siemens Industry, Industry Automation (I IA [US]), a business division within the Siemens Industry sector, as it undertook the challenge to accelerate its organizational project management (OPM) maturity. Of specific interest in this case study has been the organization's approach to conducting the improvement initiative as a program that was focused on the delivery of business benefits and organizational change, not solely on the development of OPM capabilities alone. It begins by discussing the business case for improving OPM maturity. It also overviews the methods used in this paper including program management, practical application of multiple maturity models (e.g., CMMI®, OPM3®), and an analysis of expected and achieved benefits. This approach delivered improved and sustainable business performance as well as establishing the strategic business relevance of the project management office (PMO). Also discussed are lessons learned by the OPM maturity practitioners involved in the program. The result has been an organization that has not only improved its business performance over one of the more difficult economic periods in recent times, but has also done so through multiple re-organizations while continuing to sustain that performance over three years.
