DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION

Sponsorship is one of the three key foundations of Change Management together with Communication & Engagement and Stakeholder Management. The project sponsor is one, and only one, level above the project manager. They do not manage the day to day operations of the project but they ensure the resources are in place, promote the project, and hold overall responsibility for the project's success. They represent the business side of the project

Sponsors are business leaders who play a key role in promoting, advocating and shaping projectÂwork. They oversee the project and programme management functions and remains accountable for ensuring the realisation of the specified benefits over time.

Project sponsors are one of the many gears that drive a project to a successful end. They are especially important as they have the power to approve or disapprove changes in order to keep projects aligned with business strategy. Therefore, you want to keep them well-informed. If you want to integrate the project sponsor better.

They bring together financial and non-financial considerations, with a risk analysis for the investment that enables decision-makers to have an indication of the confidence they have in the projected

While the project sponsor may not be involved in the day-to-day operations of the project in usual circumstances, he/she is the champion of the project. Project managers (PMs) should be able to rely on the sponsor to be involved in the project beyond just the initial support of initiating the project. The larger the project, the more involvement that might be required from the sponsor to help ensure a successful end result.

"I have used Flevy services for a number of years and have never, ever been disappointed. As a matter of fact, David and his team continue, time after time, to impress me with their willingness to assist and in the real sense of the word. I have concluded in fact that it is not at all just a repository of documents/resources but, in the way that David and his team manage the firm, it is like dealing with consultants always ready to assist, advise and direct you to what you really need, and they always get it right.

I am an international hospitality accomplished senior executive who has worked and lived during the past 35 years in 23 countries in 5 continents and I can humbly say that I know what customer service is, trust me.

Aside from the great and professional service that Flevy's team provide, their wide variety of material is of utmost great quality, professionally put together and most current.
