This assignment is in progress and limited information can be released.
The areas of the assignment include A380 and A320 series aircraft programmes in several areas – Programme Management, Concurrent Engineering, Operations Integration and Industrial and Professional Skills areas. Our effort also extends to the Accelerated Development Programme for “high-potential” Airbus executives. In the area of project management we are engaged in the formation of a Centre of Competence for Project Management supported by a dedicated team and network of practitioners. Activities amongst others include the development of a Policy Statement from Executive Management; the establishment of simple procedures for Project Management with aligned tools; Making project management the core competence of the company with an identified structured career path and ensure it is part of the Personal Development Review of the company’s employees; the establishment of the right attitude and behaviour of middle and upper management; and increase the performance of Project Management within the UK Executive Management population resulting in an overall 13% performance increase, and an increase of 39% against an international database.
The Chief Financial Officer of Airbus UK described these programmes as “In terms of value for money, the Senior PM Development workshops have been the most successful thing we have done in Airbus UK to develop our senior population." Aligned to this was the development of over 450 project managers, line managers and team members in the areas of project management tools, people skills and company organisational and environmental process.
