Customers loved it! It quickly became the best selling car in America at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Ford Taurus set new standards in the market and demonstrated how to manage projects for strategic advantage. However, upon the project\u2019s completion, the project manager was fired. The reason was that the project wasn\u2019t delivered on time (in fact, there was a six-month delay).<\/p>\n<p>When the new project manager came on board to oversee the launch of the second generation of Taurus, he knew what exactly to be aware of. The second generation of Taurus was launched on time but provided disappointing results. The outstanding success wasn\u2019t replicated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is what we call the difference between an operationally managed project and a <em>strategically managed project<\/em>,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pmi.org\/learning\/library\/competitive-advantage-strategic-project-leadership-554\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">writes<\/a> Aaron Shenhar, professor of Project Management, in one of his articles.<\/p>\n<p>No wonder project management for strategic advantage means <em>improving business outcomes in the long run<\/em>. If you aim for innovation and a refreshing customer experience, you should think beyond filling in templates and ticking boxes for completed tasks. Place customer needs and strategic advantage at the heart of strategic project management.<\/p>\n<p>With these three steps, the scene is now set. But even after you\u2019ve started with the project, external and internal factors can cause disruptions by putting the project on hold or even forcing you to give up on it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3694\" src=\"https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Monitor-the-competitive-landscape.png\" alt=\"Monitor the competitive landscape\" width=\"860\" height=\"396\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Monitor-the-competitive-landscape.png 860w, https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Monitor-the-competitive-landscape-300x138.png 300w, https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Monitor-the-competitive-landscape-768x354.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"step_4_monitor_the_competitive_landscape\"><\/span>Step 4: Monitor the competitive landscape<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You don\u2019t want to be caught off-guard at any stage of project completion, do you?<\/p>\n<p>Strategic management in project management always goes hand in hand with monitoring the competitor\u2019s activities. This means that you take care of the internal processes as well as watch out for external threats and opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Unexpected twists and turns in the market can give you an early warning or an additional push in a specific direction.

Did it work?)<\/li>\n<li>Monitor and review (What\u2019s changed?)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>But there is more.<\/p>\n<p>If you strive to find a strategic advantage, you should acknowledge that strategic risk management doesn\u2019t refer solely to risks; it also involves opportunities.

Would this information force you to change the way you hire and manage your team?<\/p>\n<p>Let your staffing action plan become a strategic advantage itself. Prioritize these two steps: make certain that your team is able to do something that competitors cannot easily copy, and take the best care of your people so that no one can lure them away.<\/p>\n<p>Be present. Offer guidance. Make sure your team fully understands the company\u2019s business strategy. Confused and uncertain team members will push the entire project to mediocrity. And mediocrity means you\u2019re in trouble.<\/p>\n<p>As surprising as it may sound, when you think beyond a single project and take the company\u2019s bigger objectives and vision into account, you\u2019re more likely to recruit the best talent for your project. Aim to find answers to this question: what knowledge, skills, and competencies do my team members need to respond to long-term market demands and deliver business results?<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamly.com\/blog\/transparency-in-project-management\/\">transparency<\/a> is a key currency in project management. Involve your team members in the process of developing the project goals. Get the people to agree on the direction to go. \u201cYou need collaboration and participation by the people that are going to be impacted, not just in the execution of the plan but in the planning itself,\u201d writes Dr. Joseph M. Juran, an engineer and management consultant. This empowers people to deliver results, boosts employee morale immensely, and establishes a starking linkage between employee commitment and customer satisfaction.<\/p>\n<p>When you shift from mere team building activities and conflict resolution to establishing a <em>team spirit, meaning, motivation and vision<\/em>, you start managing your project for strategic advantage. Walk the extra mile to keep the team inspired, and your people will cultivate organizational capabilities that all of you will be proud of. Your team has unique strengths.
