Project Management
Consistent success in projects is not a matter of luck or magic.
There is no such thing as a magic wand or a philosopher’s stone in project management. Success comes from the unwavering dedication of skilled professionals with expertise in the field.
With the possibility of failure looming, investing in a project can seem daunting. However, with skilled project managers, exceptional results can be achieved even in the face of adversity.
I bring decades of experience as a practitioner and instructor and equip your people with the skills, tools, and techniques to navigate your project to the outcomes you rightfully expect.
Writing for PM World Journal
Successes begin with good thoughts, followed by effective deeds.
Project Management World Journal stands out in project management literature as the home of the most influential and forward-thinking field experts. Since 2016, I’ve been a writer for it.
This is what the publisher says:
Oliver Lehmann has become one of our most popular and most important authors.
His series of articles on project business has introduced many issues and topics of critical interest to those in the business of providing project management services across many industries. Most government agencies at all levels as well as many large companies hire contractors to plan, implement and manage their projects. Those contractors represent a huge percentage, perhaps a majority, of practicing PM professionals worldwide. Yet project business is generally not well represented in PM standards and bodies of knowledge. Oliver has helped overturn this imbalance with his insightful articles and guidance for the project business world. So well done! Thank you, Oliver.

Managing Project Business
Partnership and trust are vital in Project Business. But be ready for challenges, when relationships turn sour.
Project Business takes place when a project is done with a customer and one or more—often many more—contractors. It is high-risk business.
However, organizations have a powerful asset: Well-educated project managers.
On the contractor side, they must ensure:
- The happiness of the paying customer
- The profitability of the customer project
- Your organization’s financial health
On the customer side, their goals are:
- Reliable vendor performance
- VIP-grade service
- Agility of the supply network
Their determination and fitness for the job are the most vital factors for the success of organizations involved, and here is the good news: To grow their proficiency, they are not alone.
Certifications for Project Managers
Contractors with certified Project Managers win better business at higher rates/prices. In internal projects, signaling professionalism solidifies the standing of Project Managers.
Indeed, the business case for a corporate certification initiative to signal professionalism is simple and compelling.
However, to make the best out of your certification initiative, you need a trainer who can lead busy project managers to succeed in the exam. For project vendors and service providers, the trainer must be able to translate the internal nature of most certifications to the more complex world of project business.
I prepare project managers for the established certifications of PMI, the Project Management Institute, and the new credentials of the Project Business Foundation.
