Every organization has a common need to improve business and project management processes to achieve consistent and expected results.  Failure to complete projects within targeted time and cost expectations cost companies millions of dollars each year.  The Gartner group research suggests that over 60% of project failures are the direct result of poor project management competencies.  Typically, companies will research their training options first in order to address this need.  But in order to reap the benefits of training, you must first understand what training is required.  Ask yourself these questions . . .

• What kind of training is needed?
• Are there any specific problem areas to address?
• Who needs the training?
• What training does which individuals need?
• How much training will be needed?
• How will I know if the training was effective?

Infotech’s proprietary Skill Gap Analysis is designed to help you answer these questions.  This assessment will allow a company to design a project management training program that is specific to their needs and their staff.  You will understand what “gaps” exist so that you can create a training program targeted to address the areas that need the most improvement. 

Why waste money guessing?    By creating a pre-training baseline, you will be able to establish the current state of project management competencies.  The assessment will provide you with the variance between expected and actual levels as well as a target for future levels.  The post-training results provide confirmation of the effectiveness and relative value of the training.
