A Corporate Project Management System (CPMS) is an organization-wide framework that standardizes how projects are selected, planned, executed, and monitored. Designed to align all project activities with strategic business goals, CPMS integrates methodologies, governance structures, tools, and training to ensure consistency, efficiency, and success across the entire project portfolio. Ideal for companies seeking to scale project delivery and improve performance at every level.
Today, many projects across companies—regardless of size, industry, or organizational structure—are selected and initiated in isolation, without regard to their mutual influence or alignment with overall strategic goals. What are the risks of such an approach?

Project management methodologies are like toolkits—each offers a structured approach to solving complex problems, managing change, and delivering outcomes. Among the most recognized and widely adopted in the world are two giants: PMI’s PMBOK® Guide and PRINCE2®. They represent distinct schools of thought, shaped by different cultures, origins, and applications. The question isn’t which one is better. The real

W. Edwards Deming—widely regarded as the father of Total Quality Management (TQM)—never defined his philosophy with a single term. Instead, he introduced 14 management transformation principles, later synthesizing them into what he called the System of Profound Knowledge: essentially a magnifying glass and map to understand, enhance, and optimize organizational performance. Deming emphasized that this is a holistic system with

Most management approaches eventually accumulate myths. The most extreme case is when a fashionable new management technique is born as a miracle—sparkling like the philosopher’s stone and rumored to be the elixir for all organizational ills. But today, we’re not talking about management charlatanism fueled by hype over trendy innovations. Instead, we’ll focus on how

The Silence Before the Storm It’s the quiet moments that get you. The day before kickoff. The night after the first board review. That long weekend when the vendor hasn’t delivered, and no one’s answering emails. In those moments, I’ve learned to ask myself a few hard questions. Not because I enjoy self-flagellation.

They’d ask, “Can we do this across the company?” That’s when things got

The Buzzword That Wasn’t Always It’s easy to forget, in a world where Agile is on every job description and whiteboard, that this methodology began as a manifesto—a rebellion, really—by 17 software developers tired of rigid, waterfall-style delivery cycles. That was 2001. What started as a series of ski-lodge conversations in Snowbird, Utah, would become a movement

Modern companies are engaged in both operational and project-based activities—whether they realize it or not. Internal projects focused on streamlining and regulating business processes are essential for sustainable growth.
