The Digital Leadership on Project Management in the Emerging Digital Era
Year: 2022

Digital leadership plays an important role in steering organizations toward growth. With the current and changing technological advancements in the business world, organizations are turning towards projects as the major driver of growth and development. Project managers are expected to have the desired level of digital leadership quality to benefit the organization. Managers are expected to use their teams, by example, instill collaboration, have a global vision of growth, be resourceful in matters concerning technology, and are ready to sustain their organizations during these disruptive times. This study aims to determine how different organizations have benefitted from digital leadership in terms of efficiency in project management. The study uses qualitative data from both primary interview sources and secondary sources such as past literature and growth records of the selected organizations. The study found that digital leadership impacted project management positively. However, digital leaders with different levels of desired attributes had different results, with those bearing transactional and transformational traits as the most successful ones. However, digital leaders faced challenges as their organizations aimed to survive through strong competition.
Critical Factors for Business Intelligence Success
Authors: Rikke Gaardboe; Tanja Svarre Jonasen
Year: 2017

Business intelligence (BI) is a strategically important tool for organisations. Numerous studies have attempted to investigate the factors that contribute to BI success. However, an overview of the critical success factors (CSFs) is lacking, as is an understanding of the gaps in the extant research. After examining 444 articles, we integrated the findings of 29 studies. We used the framework of information system success to identify the CSFs and to analyse how researchers identify information system success. We identified 36 variables related to BI success in the extant literature. The distinct CSFs relate to project management skills, management support, user involvement, the external environment and management processes. In the articles in which BI success was operationalised, we found several distinct factors: system quality, information quality, use, service quality, user satisfaction and net benefits. We extended the framework of information system success to include three additional factors: strategy and vision, organisational form and competency development. We contribute to the extant research by extending the framework of information system success and identifying the gaps in the extant research. We contribute to practice through an enhanced understanding of the CSFs related to BI success.
Unlocking project success: The crucial role of interpersonal skills in project management
Authors: Asmamaw Tadege Shiferaw
Year: 2024


 In today’s rapidly evolving world, marked by technological advancements, digitalization, and evolving environmental and social requirements, the construction industry is grappling with increasing project complexity. This complexity, in turn, impacts performance. Technical competences alone no longer ensure project success; instead, organizations with superior interpersonal skills are better positioned for success. Measures are being taken to enhance interpersonal skills in Norway’s construction industry. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of these measures and to explore potential variations in the need for key interpersonal skills among primary project partners and across different project phases. Data were collected through a literature review and semi-structured interviews conducted with selected informants from two large Statsbygg projects. The findings of this study underscore the crucial role of interpersonal skills in project success, a role that becomes more significant as projects increase in size and complexity. Despite the acknowledged importance of these skills within the Norwegian construction industry, measures to enhance them have not yielded the expected success. This study first outlines current measures to improve interpersonal skills, including the integration of collaboration in turnkey contracts, promotion of teamwork, effective meeting facilitation, onboarding processes, and co-location. It then identifies obstacles to these initiatives, such as the perceived difficulty in acquiring these skills, budget and time constraints, and uncertainties about the initiatives’ effectiveness. The study also explores potential differences in the need for key interpersonal skills among project partners, uncovering a shared need for skills like collaboration, communication, and problem-solving, with strategic thinking being an exception, primarily linked to the client’s role in the project’s early stage. While the research is focused on a specific segment of the Norwegian construction industry, it provides valuable, broadly applicable insights. Future research could strengthen these findings by expanding the scope to include more case projects and interviewees.
A Hybrid Grey Relational Analysis and Nondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II for Project Portfolio Selection
Authors: F. F. Razi
Year: 2014

Project selection and formation of an optimal portfolio of selected projects are among the main challenges of project management. For this purpose, several factors and indicators are simultaneously examined considering the terms and conditions of the decision problem. Obviously, both qualitative and quantitative factors may influence the formation of a portfolio of projects. In this study, the projects were first ranked using grey relational analysis to form an optimal portfolio of projects and to create an expert system for the final project selection. Because of the fuzzy nature of the environmental risk of each project, the environmental risk was predicted and analyzed using the fuzzy inference system and failure mode and effect analysis based on fuzzy rules. Then, the rank and risk of each project were optimized using a two-objective zero-one mathematical programming model considering the practical constraints of the decision problem through the nondominated sorting genetic algorithm-II (NSGA-II). A case study was used to discuss the practical methodology for selecting a portfolio of projects.

Year: 2024

The process of formulating the basic strategies in a construction project must go through a set of stages. The desired objectives in feasibility studies should be highlighted to ensure that the packages of the infrastructure projects are moving smoothly in terms of the desired goal. In order to meet ambition for the long term in infrastructure projects, it is required to adopt the five pillars of SMART for rectifying the paths of feasibility studies. The study is a summarizing of fifteen elements that could have negative impacts on outputs of feasibility studies. The designed questionnaires have already been distributed via two stages to the experts/consultants in project management and others. 63 questionnaires were collected to find the negative impact of the elements, and the second stage included 89 participants for measuring their responses about the extent to which previous studies that were prepared over the past five years matched the concept of SMART-objectives. Based on the theoretical principle through analyzing the responses/opinions of participating experts, it was found that the feasibility studies for infrastructure projects obtained the following percentages: 46.07%, 41.57%, 28.09%, 22.47%, and 22.47%. This reflects that the objectives of the infrastructure project were specific, measured, achievable, relevant, and Time-Bound) in sequence consistent with the mentioned percentages. For the improvement outcomes of feasibility studies for infrastructure projects, that required a clear and invaluable link among all feasibility studies and the concept of applying the SMART-five pillars. Doi: 10.28991/HIJ-2024-05-03-05 Full Text: PDF

Authors: P. Upendra
Year: 2021

The number of cyberattacks and information system breaches in healthcare have grown exponentially, as well as escalated from accidental incidents to targeted and malicious attacks. With medical devices representing a substantial repository of all the assets in a healthcare system, network security and monitoring are critical to ensuring cyber hygiene of these medical devices. Because of the unique challenges of connected medical devices, a passive network monitoring (PNM) solution is preferred for its overall cybersecurity management. This article is intended to provide guidance on selecting PNM solutions while reinforcing the importance of program assessment, project management, and use of leading practices that facilitate the selection and further implementation of PNM solutions for medical devices. The article provides a detailed introduction to connected medical devices and its role in effective care delivery, an overview of network security types and PNM, an overview of the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework and its application for program assessment, essentials of project management for PNM solution selection and implementation, key performance indicators for measuring a solution's ability to meet critical cybersecurity needs for medical devices, and lessons learned from the author's professional experience, selective literature review, and leading practices. Rather than describing a complete list of guidelines for selecting PNM solutions, the current work is intended to provide guidance based on the author's experience and leading practices compiled from successful medical device cybersecurity programs.

Optimization of business management model based on decision tree model
Authors: Hongbo Chen; Lei Zhao
Year: 2022

For data mining technology systems, decision tree algorithms are applied more frequently and belong to the category of classification algorithm management itself, which in most cases presents the results by means of if-then rules. As a type of decision tree algorithm, the C4.5 algorithm is not only highly accurate but also very easy to understand, comparing with the ID3 algorithm, which introduces the concept of information gain rate into it. In this paper, by conducting theoretical research activities, we finally chose to use C4.5 algorithm for performance appraisal result evaluation, data pre-processing and sub-attribute confirmation. The system is developed using B/S architecture, relying on visualization tools, dynamic web pages and other technical means to create a project management system and platform, which can meet the requirements of enterprise managers for employee performance appraisal results analysis. The system involves many modules, such as information storage, task management, report generation, and information visualization. Under the condition that several modules work together, it can basically achieve the functional goals of project management, employee information filling, performance appraisal mechanism construction, report generation, etc. With the decision tree algorithm as the core technology, the accuracy of project management information is comprehensively improved to meet the requirements of scientificity and validity, and after achieving the goal of data visualization, the enterprise can gradually realize the goal of management mechanism construction by relying on big data technology.

Information Systems IS and Information Technologies IT are fundamental elements for the competitiveness of organizations. Thus, an efficient development of IT/IS projects is a key factor for business success. Nowadays companies are increasingly outsourcing their activities, including the development of IT/IS projects. However, the results of investments often lead to frustration and are far from meeting the expectations. Bearing this in mind, this paper proposes a new framework-ISOPM-that identifies the most relevant activities for the IT/IS outsourcing projects management, aiming to contribute to the study and development of this specific area of project management.
The Institutional Field Of Learning From Project-Related Failures – Opportunities and Challenges.
Authors: D. Chiponde; Barry J. Gledson; David Greenwood
Year: 2024

Learning from past project failures presents opportunities for firms working within the construction sector to ‘build back wiser’ because, if lessons from these experiences are absorbed, they offer benefits such as mitigation against future failures, and enable the development of resilient project teams. However, instead of using sector-wide perspectives for organisational learning, Project-Based Organisation (PBOs) typically implement internal technological and strategic mechanisms in both learning and project management. Additionally, little attention is given to the institutional context within the sector. Hence, this study focuses on how learning within a PBO is influenced by the external environment by adopting an Institutional theory perspective. Via exploratory research, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 19 UK construction industry professionals and then analysed using thematic analysis. Findings reveal that there exists an institutional field of learning within which PBOs operate based on interactions with their external environment. These include: regulatory pillar-related organisations – such as government bodies, and regulatory bodies (e.g., the Health and Safety Executive); Normative pillar-related organisations (professional bodies such as APM and CIOB), and; cultural-cognitive pillar-related organisations (such as peer PBOs, suppliers and the wider supply chain). The study contends that each of these pillars offer lessons for the sector. Findings further reveal that cross organisational learning is hampered mostly by competition and fragmentation. Hence, to ‘build back wiser’ it is important that the sector brings together the identified institutional field members to better learn from project-related failures. Thus, PBOs need to build better institutional networks by viewing other organisations within the institutional field as sources of knowledge and embracing collaboration instead of competition.

Year: 2023

Goal: This study aims at bridging the stakeholder and sustainability literature, focusing on the project context. It aims at identifying the main challenges of mapping and dealing with the external stakeholders concerning the sustainability perspective during the project development.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The research design is a literature review merging bibliometric and content analysis. The sampling process includes two primary databases, Web of Science and Scopus. We applied the data on the software VoSViewer for the first phase of bibliometric analysis and on software NVivo for better content analysis.  
Results: This article contributed to the literature with an in-depth analysis of 96 articles that bridge stakeholder and sustainability. It identifies the stakeholder influence on sustainability issues in projects and the main environmental challenges faced. Besides, there is a prominence of the environmental dimension of the triple bottom line; therefore, the social aspect is little considered in stakeholder management projects.
Limitations of the investigation: This study presents limitations related to the research methods selected. First, the sampling strategy constrains the sample related to the search strings and logical operators applied. The application of the research's exclusion criteria brings subjectivity to the analysis.
Practical implications: The research highlights the significance of the identification and mapping of the critical stakeholders for alignment of the sustainability strategy for the project development, which helps to explore risks associated with the sustainability aspects.
Originality/Value: We contribute by exploring the gap in research in the intersection between stakeholders and sustainability literature in project management.
Investigating the effect of risk reduction strategies on the construction of mega infrastructure project (MIP) success: a SEM-ANN approach
Authors: Mohammedshakil Malek; Viral Bhatt
Year: 2023

PurposeManaging mega infrastructure projects (MIPs) is more complex because of time, size, social, environmental and financial implications. This study aims to address the management approaches, complexity and risk factors involved in MIPs. The study focuses on project success criteria and their individual effects on the success of MIPs.Design/methodology/approachTo address the challenges and identify the most influencing factor for the success of MIPs, the study deployed a cross-sectional survey approach. Six hundred eighty-two usable samples were collected from the respondents to understand the impact of predetermined factors on the success of MIPs. The structural equation model and artificial neural network approach were used to derive the importance of factors affecting the success of MIPs.FindingsThe study's outcome confirms that all three influencing factors: feasibility studies, community engagements and contract selection, have a significant positive impact on the success of MIPs. Community engagement amongst all three has the most influential predictor for the success of MIPs.Originality/valueThe developed model will enable practitioners and policymakers from Indian construction companies and other emerging nations to concentrate on recognized risk reduction variables to enhance project success criteria and project management success, especially for MIPs.
Managing User-Centered Design Activities in Distributed Agile Development
Authors: Sultan Alyahya; Ohoud Almughram
Year: 2021


 The integration of user-centered design (UCD) activities into agile information systems development has become more popular recently. Despite the fact that there are many ways the merging of UCD activities into agile development can be carried out, it has been widely recognized that coordinating design activities with development activities is one of the most common problems, especially in distributed environments where designers, developers and users are spread over several sites. The main approach to coordinate UCD activities with distributed agile development is the use of informal methods (e.g. communication through using video conference tools). In addition to the temporal, geographical and socio-cultural barriers associated with this type of methods, a major limitation is a lack of awareness of how UCD activities and development activities affect each other. Furthermore, some agile project management tools are integrated with design platforms but fail to provide the necessary coordination that helps team members understand how the design and development activities affect their daily work. This research aims to support the effective management of integrating UCD activities into distributed agile development by (i) identifying the key activity dependencies between UX design teams and development teams during distributed UCD/agile development and (ii) designing a computer-based system to provide coordination support through managing these activity dependencies. In order to achieve these objectives, two case studies are carried out. Our findings revealed 10 main dependencies between UCD design teams and development teams as shown by six types of activity. In addition, the participatory design approach shows that developing a computer-based system to manage seven of these selected dependencies is achievable.
