Abstract
This journal special issue will explore diverse stakeholder perspectives and share examples of project management practices in the non-profit sector. Key objectives are to develop understandings of project management practice in the sector, to examine how cross-sectoral collaboration and learning can help non-profit organisations achieve their project and programme objectives, and to explore ways in which the wider project management community can learn from experiences in the non-profit sector.
Highlights
Organisational Project Management aims to cover all aspects of organisational project management including linking strategy to projects, change management, governance, leadership, innovation, project marketing, maturity models, and how projects are managed in different types of organizations such as private, public and community organizations
Stakeholder perspectives may be more diverse as projects frequently involve government and private agencies as well as communities, or identifying measureable criteria for success may be challenging as projects are often undertaken to achieve long-term social objectives
There is much to be gained by the project management community through an exploration of projects in contexts in which relations amongst stakeholders may be asymmetric in terms of power relations, and in which the objectives of project based activities may not be amenable to clear, agreed and quantitative definition
Summary
Organisational Project Management aims to cover all aspects of organisational project management including (but not limited to) linking strategy to projects, change management, governance, leadership, innovation, project marketing, maturity models, and how projects are managed in different types of organizations such as private, public and community organizations. Why is this topic important to the project management community? While the management of projects in the non-profit sector shares many similarities with the practice in other areas it posesses peculiarities that present unique challenges.
