About this Presentation
Critical Chain Project Management is a Strategic Application and not just a tactical project management tool. CCPM is transformational, providing a clear pathway for moving companies from an environment of project chaos into stability, then sustainment for exceptional Company Growth. How? This presentation provides a practical overview of this capability and how to apply this to your organization. If your organization does not consistently supply or service 60+ percent of your desired market, then the market is not your constraint. So how can your organization capture the portion of the market you're not currently servicing? Knowing that markets, respond to shorter lead times, plus reliable delivery, customers are even willing to pay a reasonable premium for this performance. So how can we take a project environment from chaos through stability and develop the standard operating procedures to sustain future growth? By way of case studies, we will demonstrate the capability of taking the tactical approach to project management and turning it into a strategic approach. This presentation provides a roadmap to do this.
