Revenue growth, improving customer service and supply chain optimization. These are the trends that we can expect next year in the area of project management. That is least server what the Project Times website has published in the article called Top Priorities Project Leverage for the 2013.
1. Revenue growth thanks to collaboration
Given the fact that majority of the population is represented by older people who spend less, we can expect that successful projects will be realized by companies that bet on revenue growth by improving the collaboration with customers and suppliers.
2. Improving customer service
During the economic crisic, people have started to consider what they invest in very carefully. They want everything cheaper and preferably immediately. It will, therefore, be essential to focus on the quality of services provided.
3. The faster, the better
Business opportunities for companies and individuals will be driven by speed and the ability to come up with changes on the fly. It will be crucial for the leaders of companies to be able to quickly obtain valuable information.
4. Improving corporate systems
Companies are already well aware that it makes sense to try to maximize the potential of their systems in order to optimize their business performance. They will be, therefore, more interested in evaluating the effectiveness and implementation of new systems.
5. Optimization of the supply chain
Delivery chain has proved to be a crucial company function in the recent years. It is increasingly under a direct supervision of the C-level management. The question of optimizing the supply chain involves many possible solutions from improving services and cash flow to higher sales and finding these solutions will play a key role in 2013.
6. Lean company
The Lean philosophy is still relevant. Companies will, therefore, be more likely to ask whether they sufficiently minimize waste and whether they can provide customers the values they require in 2013.
