Many business leaders are puzzled: I want to implement the ERP project, and who is the most appropriate project manager to do the project?
ERP Project Manager what should have the ability? What are the major to complete the work? The previous article, "On the responsibility of success or failure of ERP projects" The paper was criticized by some consultants, and today we take a look at a project, the client project manager should have what capacity?
1 "Circle" theory of shape When I was engaged consultants job two years or so, I and my colleagues because the project between the middle of some of the problems who should belong to the responsibility of, the occurrence of an intense discussion, part of the consultants have advised that: I am a consultant, responsible for customer training, account for a good project, customers are required to complete the task, complete the implementation steps in the process of discussion of consultants should be completed, coding discussions. Other such as: whether the mandate of arrangement completed on schedule, to a certain sector affect the execution of the project is not in place the normal propulsion, a client's project manager's responsibility.
I think their views are not unreasonable, from the perspective of career counselors from the middle of the identity of the project consultants, and their view is right.
I was raised a valid point, and I became the consultant to guide the implementation of projects and the core idea of the implementation of the project.
Specifically in the project, who pay more and those who should be leading the project, what things are customers complete, which should be consultants to assist the long term, due to ERP project is different from the general commodity trading, it is not the nature of suppliers and customers relationship, but rather two excellent companies long-term partnership.
Since it is a co-operation, as the couple at home, it is difficult to distinguish who should cook, who should be the same as washing dishes. Prepare the project together is the most important, who can do will come to pay some more.
2 What client project manager should have the skills?
Although our goal is the same, but there are some essential skills needed to grasp the client's project manager.
Organization and coordination capacity
No matter how high the level of communication consultants, after all, he would not be a long time in the enterprise.
ERP project team management, project is mainly driven by the need to organize and coordinate customer project manager.
Project, the regular project meetings, project progress reports and so on need to project manager-led.
Project, will encounter such as the division of responsibilities between departments is not clear, processes need to improve such issues as client project manager needs to organize relevant departments and personnel problems that require the participation of CEOs can not be sloppy.
Therefore, the project manager in the enterprise needs to have certain relationships and authority. |
