Aerospace & Defense (A&D) companies are faced with challenges on multiple fronts and recognize the value and importance of systemization, efficiency, and scalability. The A&D companies are realizing that programs such as new airplane technology development are becoming more prohibitively costly and time-consuming, it is critical for A&D companies to be able to rapidly develop new design and technology innovations, capture and reuse product and process knowledge, and substantially shorten the overall IMP to IMS lifecycle. To make it even more complicated, A&D companies must operate within a globally disparate environment, and must be able to collaborate with partners, suppliers, and customers.

Understanding and proactively developing your corporate project management skills is a vital requisite for successful project delivery. Through capability planning companies assess their competencies and define strategies and targets for improvement. This will include processes to assess and grow individual capabilities. It also means actively matching the right individual project skills to project complexity as an integral part of resource management. Without capability planning, programs have an inherently higher risk to overrun costs and time: Program delays, loss of quality or scope and spiraling costs will erode the benefits to the organization and invalidate the program’s business case.
