18 Jun WHAT IS REQUIRED BY ORGANISATIONS FROM THEIR APPLICATION SYSTEMS?
Explain the relevance of systems thinking to the project, program and portfolio manager.
Gosh, what a wonderful week – no readings or anything to do!!!
However, the objective of this week’s topic is to provide you with an opportunity to propose what application systems you think will support successful project execution in different industries.
So, ask yourself and reflect on:
What is required by organisations from their application systems? Think about PMIS’s i.e. the systems required to run a project, program, and portfolio. What is required to communicate between them? From the portfolio down to the project and then from the project back to the portfolio.
How do application systems help this happen? What is the information that needs to flow up and down?
In what way would the appropriate application systems have helped BP? Or any other organisation you might have studied in this course?
This week’s topic is really the heart of this unit PPMP20012 Program and Portfolio Information Systems. Obviously, for a big organisation like BP having visibility into what’s happening within the organisation is incredibly important. Failure to do so means that accidents like Texas City and Deepwater Horizion become far worse that they should. The Chief Counsel identified some fundamental managerial, training, systems, cultural, and relationship failures in Chapter Five of his report. Addressing these will have substantial impact in the future. However, an organisation like BP is working in an inherently dangerous environment (hydrocarbons). Surely it is incumbent on them to make sure that everything they do is safe? To really achieve maximum safety, they need to make sure that they have total visibility into everything. But is this possible? What technology can achieve this? What will be the cost? How long will it take and who should be involved?
Then think about other industries, such as governments, health care, transportation, manufacturing, construction, entertainment tourism, military, justice and the police, and so on and on. Is it the same for all of them? Do they all need visibility into what’s happening in their organisations?
In this portfolio please reflect on the readings (1st column) and the learning outcome (2nd column). Ask yourself in what way does the readings provide insights into the learning outcome? Maybe they don’t! What are your thoughts?
Are there other insights that you can make from other units that you have studied? Or your work and life experience?
