During economic uncertainties, organisations have to manage costs diligently. In such difficult times, the urge to increase project management adoption is what top management needs as an indispensable tool.

To address this challenge, clients must involve project management consultants with proven experience in managing projects and costs as delivery partners. Equally important is their flexible approach to developing innovative delivery strategies and effectively applying project management tools and methodologies.

A top-down strategy must be adopted alongside a step-by-step approach. Project managers must report directly to a company's top management to succeed. This will enable organisations to make informed decisions throughout a project's lifecycle, from planning to completion, while effectively addressing factors affecting growth.
