Even world-class project managers will not succeed unless they get their executives to act for project success.

The trap of applying best practice project management only to have the project fail because of executive inaction or counteraction can be avoided. Increasing numbers of project managers are looking for ways to deal with this reality.

This is a how-to paper. It describes how project managers can get their executives to act and it identifies the top ten executive actions most likely to contribute to project success. This paper draws upon research from related fields about management and leadership and offers a model to gauge levels of executive support for projects.

We then address the question – what actions can the project manager and executive take to accelerate executive support to the next level? A central theme of the answer is that project managers are empowered to extend their sphere of influence beyond the immediate project boundaries up into the organization. Doing so will get executives to act and to help implement the actions as well.

Attendees will walk away from this presentation with the following:

• Understand why projects are now more dependent on an executive.
• Identify the actions an executive can take to help your project succeed.
• Be aware of related executive and managerial assessments.
• Be familiar with using a new scale to gauge the level of executive support for projects.
• Identify approaches to move executive support to the next level.
