Learning - it's never too late

Our final principle of programme management - #7 Learning from Experience.

This principle is one that is also found among the seven principles of the project management method PRINCE2. Both programmes and projects perform better when members of the management teams assume the attitude of being learners.

In fact, a programme can be considered to be a learning environment, where we adjust and adapt our path through the programme.

Lessons should be something that we go and actively seek out, not passively record to pass on to 'someone else'.

An organisation's ability to learn from experience speaks volumes about its level of programme management maturity - how mature is your organisation's approach...?

This is one in a series of seven programme management principles that use the programme management guide MSP (Managing Successful Programmes). If you would like to know more about MSP, why not give us a call on freephone 0800 052 1600 or go to www.pearcemayfield.com
