Gevinstrealisering i digitaliseringsprosjekter

Magma forskning og viten, 23(0720), s. 70- 78.

Artikkelen tar for seg problematikken rundt gevinstrealiseringen ved fragmenterte tidsgevinster. Det er tidsgevinster som for en organisasjon samlet sett er store, men som må realiseres ved at mange medarbeidere må endre sin arbeidshverdag og dermed spare litt tid hver. Hvordan bør en organisasjon håndtere slike fragmenterte tidsgevinster? Hvordan bør ledelsen følge opp at de potensielle gevinstene blir realisert? Vi belyser spørsmålene gjennom et digitaliseringsprosjekt i videregående skoler i Telemark fylkeskommune. Det er en lovpålagt oppgave å utarbeide skriftlige varsler til elev og foresatte hvis det er tvil om hvorvidt eleven kan få karakter i et fag eller dårlig karakter i orden og oppførsel. I løpet av ett år ble det i Telemark produsert ca. 14 000 slike varsler. Prosessen med å produsere, sende ut og arkivere varslene tok mye tid. En digital tjenesteplattform ble innført for å redusere lærernes tidsbruk. Frigjort tid skulle brukes til økt elevoppfølging. Medarbeidere på ulike nivåer ble intervjuet for å undersøke gevinstrealiseringen. Den kvalitative casestudien viste at til tross for at man ikke slavisk fulgte metodene for gevinstrealisering, ble planlagte gevinster realisert. Til tross for fravær av detaljoppfølging benyttet lærerne den sparte tiden til det som var målet med gevinstrealiseringen – økt elevoppfølging. Studien viste at målforståelse – lærernes oppriktige ønske om at elevene skal lykkes, og ønsket om en enklere administrativ hverdag – var de viktigste driverne for realiseringen. Resultatene fra Telemark gjør at vi foreslår å forenkle metodene for gevinstrealisering for denne typen gevinster. Tydelig kommunikasjon om gevinstene bør erstatte et omfattende byråkrati med kvantitativ oppfølging.

Increasing project benefits by project opportunity exploitation

International Journal of Managing Projects in Business, 11(1), s. 35- 52. Doi: 10.1108/IJMPB-07-2017-0089 - Full text in research archive

Purpose: Exploitation of project opportunities may bring more benefits than stipulated in the initial business case, and even stakeholder benefits that nobody thought of at the project initiation. The purpose of this paper is to suggest a new research area for megaprojects, i.e. the phenomenon of project opportunity exploitation as a means to increase the project benefits. Design/methodology/approach: This is a single case study of an infrastructure megaproject, i.e. the construction and operation of a 50+ years old American bridge. Data cover information regarding 60+ years old historical documents, newspaper articles, interviews and video-recordings. Findings: The findings of this paper are as follows: exploiting all opportunities created by the project and increasing project benefits require involvement from many categories of stakeholders; stakeholders get more involved in exploiting the opportunities created by the project when they are proud of the project; for some of the project-related opportunities, it might take a long time before they can be exploited (and related benefits achieved); and celebrating achievements of the project stimulate stakeholders to exploit opportunities created by the project and contribute to further project benefits. Research limitations/implications: Only few interviews were conducted. Interviewees were biased as all were very proud of the bridge. This is a single case study of a “rare species”, not representing most megaprojects. Practical implications: To enhance project opportunity exploitation and increased benefits, the project owner (team) must continuously communicate about the project, also after project execution. Originality/value: This study contributes to a gap within the literature on the phenomenon “project opportunity exploitation”. This is a very rich case study and of a “rare species”.

Our tribute to Rodney – And the importance of Goal Directed Project Management

International Journal of Project Management, 36(1), s. 227- 230. Doi: 10.1016/j.ijproman.2017.09.005 - Full text in research archive

The book “Goal Directed Project Management” has had great success over the years and contributed to the development of project management scholarship. However, the story behind the first English edition of the book is also important in explaining the role Rodney Turner has come to play in the project management community and his decision to choose an academic career in this field. Below, we trace these events and outline the main ideas at the heart of the book.
