Project Management Research Chair

Project Management Research Chair

The Project Management Chair was created in 2007. The Chair brings together one of the world’s most important teams of researchers in the field, which has established a solid international reputation for the quality of its research. Since the creation of the Chair, the research has focused on three axes:
  • Organisational Project Management
  • Processes, Practices and New Tools in Project Management
  • Management of Innovation Projects

During the coming years, the Chair will continue development of these axes and will develop two new research axes:
  • Human and Relational Dimensions of Project Management
  • Management of National and International Social Development Projects

Participation in 1 survey

Survey on Innovation and Organizational Project Management

This research project is funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC).
Why? 21% of the world’s GDP has been generated by projects (Brédillet, 2008). Today’s economic climate is pushing organizations to continuously introduce innovations in their products, operations and practices in order to remain competitive. In these circumstances, how can we ensure that resources are used optimally? How can we maximize project performance? What competencies do we need to get results?
For whom? Every organization which innovates in products/services or practices.
How? One questionnaire for a member of senior management and another one for a person responsible for projects.
What will you take away from participating in this study? Amongst others, a benchmark report for all participants.
