Govt urged to upgrade project management processes

Speaking at the workshop held recently, Innolead Group Managing Director, Oabona Kgengwenyane said government projects are mostly faced with the challenge of failure and delay in completion because there is no proper management process throughout the project. “If we want to see successful projects we should find strategies to run the project. “Most of these projects are managed by the engineers but the engineers do not come up with strategies on how to deliver the best project, they just start the work right away,” he said. Kgengwenyane said public infrastructure is a very huge project that requires a lot of work and the best skills. “You have to look at the market and find suitable methodologies and there has to be someone who manages the costs and time on behalf of the government”, he said.

Innolead consulting has partnered with a South African Consultancy Oracle Primavera to boost their project management capacity.
