About this Presentation
The project management (PM) maturity model represents a “journey” to improve a company’s process capability and maturity. The use of the word “maturity” implies that capabilities must be grown over time to produce repeatable success. Maturity model = Framework + Methods + Tools. The model described hereby is used as a heuristic model (rule of thumb) to guide experts in implementing the theory of constraints (TOC) in multi-projects environments. It also can be used to assess and to develop capabilities in projects-oriented organizations. The model is not based on any of the known maturity models like the Organizational Project Management Maturity Model (OPM3) as developed by PMI or on the CMMI (the DOD initiative from the 80’s). It is only based on the concepts of TOC together with my experience and my observations. The KISS principle (“Keep It Short and Simple” or “Keep It Simple and Straightforward”) and Occam's Razor (entities must not be multiplied beyond necessity. This principle is that the simplest explanation is usually the correct one. Simplest is really referring to the theory with the fewest new assumptions.) are explained. Going for chaos through the eight stages is described. The stages are order and systemization, control the time dimension, enterprise PM, control the resources dimensions, control the cost dimension, consistent PM strategy, linkage to organizational strategy and a key factor and high performance PM constantly repeating itself – sustainability.

Instructor(s)
Avraham Mordoch
Avraham Mordoch, I'm a Theory of Constraints (TOC) pioneer with a special expertise in building implementation programs for advanced management systems based on TOC, control systems and measurements, research & development strategy and operational strategy. I'm certified by TOCICO as a TOC Expert in all areas of TOC and I'm also ISCEA Certified Critical Chain Project Manager (IC3PM) Program Instructor. I joined Eli Goldratt in 1981 and for 7 years I was a partner of the Avraham Y. Goldratt Institute and the President of its R & D Subsidiary.
I have also 25 years of prior experience in Information Technology and I participated in the development of OPT, the first ever manufacturing finite capacity scheduling system and I led the development of the first DBR system.
Since 1993 I'm an independent consultant, well recognized, and led improvement projects in manufacturing organizations and in projects organizations all over the world. In parallel to my consultancy services, I teach TOC and its derivatives in the academy in Israel in the faculty on Technology Management in HIT and in Industrial Engineering in JCE.
Recently, I developed some expertise in the political and economic ramifications of the recent Natural Gas discoveries in the Eastern Mediterranean basin.
In the past and during the years I developed innovative ideas in the areas of Commercial Aviation Safety, Printing Industry and Project Management.
