360 Feedback For Construction Project
Managers
Survey of Project Management Practices
in Construction
A project manager's competence makes
all the difference in achieving cost, schedule, quality, and safety
goals on a construction project. Those competencies are specific and
identifiable. The Survey of Project Management Practices in Construction™ (PMPC) gives 360 feedback to construction project managers on their
management skills and practices. The PMPC measures the mastery of these
skills and the frequency of their use by an individual. The feedback
is a powerful starting point for training and development that will
result in higher levels of individual performance and achievement of
project intentions. The Project Management in Construction Task
Cycle® follows the Task Cycle Theory, a model that has
been researched for 30 years by the Clark Wilson Group.
The Phases and Dimensions measured by Project
Management Practices in Construction include directing project activities,
planning and solving project problems, providing feedback and reinforcing
project team performance.
