Project Management Academy: Transforming Project Leadership

DEMS Project Management Academy is at the forefront of training the next generation of resilient project managers and project leaders. In today’s project economy, disruption is inevitable across all elements of the project organization – the project, the project team, and the project environment.

At DEMS, we believe in the power of transformational leadership. It is not about having all the answers but asking the right questions. Our project managers and leaders are open to exploring new ideas and novel working methods, ensuring that projects thrive in a dynamic, uncertain, and complex environment.

Everything is changing in the modern business landscape – from project expectations to how we work and learn. The nature of projects, team dynamics, and environments are evolving. That is why project managers and leaders must embrace change and navigate these disruptions effectively.

Projects play a critical role in a company’s progress. They can either facilitate entry into new markets, implement cutting-edge technologies, or activate long-awaited operational assets. Conversely, project failure can impede progress, disrupt timelines, and threaten the firm’s existence.

The CFO of a company faces numerous challenges when evaluating the commercial and economic viability of projects. They are tasked with reporting the success or failure of projects, adding to the burden of their already demanding role.

Drawing from the successful models of leading companies in various sectors, we have identified six design principles that serve as building blocks for superior project delivery:

DEMS has three decades of experience delivering complex projects across multiple global industries. The most effective project management transformation occurs when people, technology, processes, and big data intersect. We specialize in tracking the latest trends in these areas to develop best practices and agility within the project management industry.

In today’s complex and competitive global marketplace, technical skills alone are insufficient for successful project management. Organizations now seek additional leadership, business intelligence, and digital skills competencies. The PMI Talent Triangle®, which encompasses technical, leadership, strategic, and business management expertise and digital skills, is the ideal skill set required to contribute to the bottom line.

PMI’s 2021 Talent Gap report states that the global economy will require 25 million new project professionals by 2030. With declining fertility rates and an aging workforce, organizations must find innovative ways to address worker shortages and close the talent gap. Our training and consulting services are designed to equip professionals with the skills to meet these future demands.

We are in the era of The Project Economy, where change is constant, and projects are at the forefront of organizational progress. Organizations must adapt to this paradigm shift and view projects as essential business assets. Project leadership is pivotal in driving disruption, innovation, and long-term value.

Project management is no longer confined to specific domains; it has become an organization’s strategic competency. It is viewed as a vehicle for capturing, evaluating, and implementing best practices that enhance overall performance and enable continuous improvements.

With so much change happening, executives rely on project leaders to bring ideas to fruition. This necessitates a combination of traditional and emerging agile project leadership skills. At DEMS, we empower project professionals with the capabilities they need to thrive in The Project Economy.

To provide comprehensive project management training, leadership development, organizational capability assessment, and consulting services, DEMS has partnered with TenStep Inc. Together, we deliver exceptional services to clients in the USA and Africa.
