Projects are now seen as essential model for creating value for the organizations as well as the economic growth of a nation. While quite a few Indian projects have achieved outstanding performance and even set international records, Project Management in India still has tremendous scope for improvement. A May 2023 report by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, which monitors infrastructure projects worth Rs 150 crore and above, out of 1681 projects, 408 reported cost overruns and as many as 814 projects were delayed. The estimated cost overrun in these projects is Rs 480074.87 crore (which is 19.86% of the original cost). The strengthening of processes, building capabilities, broadening the project management culture and mindset, improving the stakeholder management, and robust governance etc. have been identified as key areas of improvement in these and as well as in successful implementation of the future projects.
Realising the need for a relevant programme in Project Management, IIMA started offering Executive Education in Project Management in 1985 and has trained over 2400 executives in this area. The focus of the programme has been on the Implementation Phase - the key area for the success of projects. Besides retaining the focus on the implementation phase of projects, the upcoming programme has a special emphasis on Project Risk Management and Data Driven Decision Making.
