The Problem
Managers are increasingly using technology to prepare reports and memos by themselves; there is now voice to text and text to voice software available; there is software that can use invoices and prepare reports, many countries are experience recession and closure of many business forcing those that survive to become more lean and efficient, etc. All of these factors are changing the job of the Administrative Professionals so that if they do not change and learn new skills and be prepared to take on new responsibilities/activities their jobs can be at risk.
The above Table shows just how much the job is changing. A key requirement to survive in this global environment is the need for project management skills as the administrative professional assumes more of the role of project assistant.
One can therefore ask what is a project, what is project management, what are project management skills and what are the reasons for undertaking projects? Project Management skills are needed to be able to work in a global economy where projects are the main activity of many organizations as they respond to changes in their environment. The time has come for administrative professionals to become familiar with the principles of project management and so enable their organizations to achieve project success.
