Landscape of WASH-relevant Training for Humanitarian Emergencies
Authors: C. Dórea
Year: 2015

Background: Both employed humanitarian personnel as well as those seeking to start a career as an aid worker are often provided with or seek training on the theme of humanitarian water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). The objective of this study was to conduct a landscaping exercise of the available WASH-relevant training for humanitarian emergencies. Methods: An open internet search was performed with specific terms related to humanitarian WASH. Retained search results included those training opportunities (including past ones) that were themed around or with a mentioned relevance to humanitarian WASH. Results and Discussion: A total of 42 training courses relevant to humanitarian emergency WASH were retained. In addition to the more generic/introductory trainings, some provided thematic variations such as coordination of WASH responses, project management, risk reduction, information, education and communication (IEC), and complex emergencies. Timely topics such as urban WASH, Ebola, and WASH innovations were also observed indicating the responsiveness of the training providers to the changing needs of humanitarian WASH response programmes. This survey also revealed a large variety in terms of target audience, duration, fees, location, and language of courses. There was no centralised listing of courses available on the Internet. Limitations of this exercise were also discussed.
Understanding variations of governmentality and governance structures at the project level in project-based organizations
Authors: Muhammad Yousaf Malik; Linzhou Wang; Fangwei Zhu
Year: 2024

PurposeVariations of human-versus-structure and within-humans at the organizational and the project level are critical in shaping the internal arrangement for effectiveness of project-based organization’s (PBOs) governance. Recent discourse presents governmentality at the organizational level and leadership at the project level as human agency of governance, whereas governance structures to be their counterpart. However, project-level mechanisms of governmentality that can help to understand possible variations among these governance dimensions remained veiled. This study uses institutional theory to explore these internal arrangements accommodated by variations of PBOs governance dimensions at the project level.Design/methodology/approachThe study followed Eisenhardt protocols of multiple case study design using an abductive research approach. Considering the heterogeneity of governance as a phenomenon in literature, boundary conditions were established before theorizing the model of the study to avoid ambiguities and define the research scope. Five PBOs were chosen using theoretical sampling, yielding 70 interviews. Data were analyzed by constant comparison with theory, using replication logic and cross-case analysis.FindingsFindings revealed that project managers perform a buffer function for governmentality at the project level. Identified mechanisms of governmentality at the project level included two downward mechanisms, i.e. communication and informal interactions of governors, and two upward mechanisms of adaptation and reciprocity by project managers and project team members. Cross-analysis for variations among PBOs’ governance at the project level revealed seven arrangements showcasing synergies or contrasts.Originality/valueThe study adds to organizational project management literature by advancing the significance of congruence between humans and structures in project governance. Furthermore, the synchronization of the project manager’s leadership style with the governmentality approach and governance structure of PBOs is of crucial importance at the project level. Findings suggest the same by showcasing synergetic versus contrasting internal arrangements accommodated in varying PBOs governance dimensions. Implications highlight that synergies among PBOs governance dimensions and project manager’s styles can minimize conflicts and inconsistencies in governance implementation, whereas contrasts might trigger them.

Quasi-experimental method to identify the impact of ambiguity and urgency on project participants in the early project phase
Authors: Bassam A. Hussein
Year: 2011

The goal of this paper is to demonstrate the potential of gaming simulation as a research method in project management. Gaming simulation is used for identifying the impact of ambiguity and urgency on project participants' attitudes in the early phase. By ambiguity we mean lack of clarity of goals and objectives of the project. Urgency refers to time pressure, in the sense that the project has to be completed within specified time frame. The results of the experiments shows that ambiguity and urgency leads to three significant response patterns by the project participants 1) the tendency to overly focus on the technical solution, 2) the tendency to make unverified assumptions 3) significance rise to personal emotions, such as fear, diffidence, competitiveness and eagerness. The results obtained using gaming simulation as a research method are consistent with previously published studies. The paper concludes that gaming simulation can be used in project management research. Threats to validity and reliability can be controlled to a satisfactory level if the game design and configuration guarantee an adequate level of realism and insight.

Project Management Fractals: Position Paper for Curriculum Integration
Authors: Ernest L. Owens; A. Jaiswal-Dale; Abby Bensen
Year: 2022

: This position piece, based on 30 years of teaching, argues for incorporating the notion of fractals into project management education to create business-ready graduates who can tailor a project process method to the project. By looking at the project in smaller pieces (fractals) and the relationship between those pieces, practitioners can achieve a deeper understanding of the project without being overwhelmed by its complexity. Project management pairs well with fractals because of its interdisciplinary nature—the idea of fractals in project management incorporates application of numerous business disciplines, creating graduates who are comfortable with both theory and practice.
Changing IT skills: The Impact of Sourcing Strategies on In-House Capability Requirements
Authors: C. Bullen; Thomas Abraham; K. Gallagher; K. Kaiser
Year: 2007

The increasingly global sourcing of IT work and other socio-economic trends are prompting fundamental changes in the availability of IT skills needed in both client and vendor organizations. This article analyzes the results of a survey conducted in 2005, in which IT executives were asked to describe the skills they felt were critical to keep in house now and in 2008. The top ten current skills included three in project management, five in business domain and three in technical. In 2008, the top five emerging skills are almost all business domain while the top five exiting skills are all technical. Our findings indicate that the critical skills to keep in-house are primarily client-facing skills, even when they are technical. Findings indicate that IT professionals need to have a balance that demonstrates a foundation in the traditional â€œhard skillsâ€ and experience with â€œsofterâ€ business-oriented skills.

The Effect of Stakeholder-Associated Risks in Mega-Engineering Projects: A Case Study of a PPP Airport Project
Authors: H. Aladağ; Z. Işık
Year: 2020

Mega-engineering projects in the construction industry are generally carried out by public–private partnership models with the participation of different stakeholders. This paper aims to identify the effect of stakeholder-associated risks on the success of mega-engineering projects. Therefore, the risks were determined and then validated by focus discussions. Afterwards, an illustrative case study was presented to better understand the effects. Finally, a fuzzy analytical hierarchy process method was used to prioritize the identified risks. The prominent risks were found to include “improper partner selection,” “inadequate relationships with employer,” and “incompetent contractor selection.” Engineering managers need to work in close coordination with all members of the project. To better manage projects, engineering managers are expected to be familiar with the concepts of project risk management, because effective project risk management has a direct and positive effect on project management performance. Professionals in the field of engineering management can benefit greatly from the findings of this study by using it as a baseline for coordinating the relationships in multistakeholder organizational structures and analyzing stakeholder-associated risks throughout their projects.

Authors: Pujan Ziaie; B. Jayaram; Mark Bilandzic; H. Krcmar
Year: 2009

In rapidly growing global companies, comprehensive training programs as well as in depth sharing of knowledge are essential factors to maintain the quality of human capital despite rapid expansion. Different dimensions of Knowledge management address the need and approach to leverage dispersed knowledge in order to make it visible and accessible for everyone to improve organizational performance. However, there has been a scarcity of successful and holistic models that define and categorize tacit knowledge in order to capture and distribute it for the benefit of others. This paper focuses on developing a framework in order to capture experiences regarding software project management and to provide a platform for managers to inherit knowledge from and bequeath their learning to others at large organizations. In order to build up and enhance the framework, the majority of information was gleaned from intensive interviews with top software project managers at Infosys, a well-known global company in the field of software development and consulting services. The final framework we developed can act as a comprehensive data-repository for capturing, storing, searching , and distributing tacit knowledge of project managers.
Strategic quality competitiveness management
Authors: T. C. Chiao
Year: 2006

Nowadays, experienced practitioners are considering the effectiveness and efficiency of project management as the vital factors for their long-term enterprise failure or success. As such, the author introduces the key issues of the planning and implementation on quality improvement of the manufactured products. In reality, quality products cannot be produced through the short-term business profit activities. Quality can be fulfilled through the long-term reliable procedures for the joint committed agreement between producers and customers. In this paper, the author recommends that proper detail tasks over the specification and design phases may drastically reduce the whole life cycle cost (i.e. up to 85% of cost saving). The author also adopts the Six Sigma practices, by which the competitive conditions of products can be formulated, planned and managed. Furthermore, the Bayesian sequential procedures, the well-defined review, verification and validation tasks, the level of the product competitiveness as well as the degree of customers' satisfaction can be measured.
An Intelligent Tutoring System for Case-Based E-Learning on Project Management
Authors: M. Otsuki; M. Samejima
Year: 2013

A survey says that the success rate of information system development project is about 30%. In order to lead a project to a successful one, many companies performed several kinds of education methods to educate more excellent project managers. One of the education methods is the case-based learning that a learner thinks problems and solutions on the practical case. The tutor that provides advice on how to think about the case plays an important role in the case-based learning. However, tutors are fewer than learners. In order to make the case-based learning available online without the tutor, we propose an intelligent tutoring system for case-based e-Learning on project management. A tutor agent instead of a human tutor provides appropriate advice according to a learner's input to the system. The proposed method compares the learner's input to the answers that the human tutor preliminary decides in order to verify the learner's input. A tutor agent chooses the advice corresponding to the content of the input from an advice list. The system repeats to provide advice to the learner until the learner finishes thinking about sufficient solutions.
