Supporting Frameworks for Successful Program Management - Productivity

Supporting Frameworks for Successful Program Management - Productivity (#23 in the series Foundations, Frameworks and Lessons Learned in Program Management)
By Robert Prieto
Productivity improvement programs lend themselves to implementation on large scale capital construction programs. Examples of elements of such programmatic processes include:
- Capture and sharing of lessons learned across all projects and program work processes
- Common labor incentives for safety performance or value creating ideas
- Labor retention and craft training strategies
- Creation of a common program “culture”
- Implementation of formal partnering programs with individual project teams
- Entrepreneurial processes to keep the program management team focused on strategic business objectives and to avoid bureacratic inertia from setting in.
