Foreword
To win a decathlon requires the extreme best from the participant. It is a very gru- eling and demanding set of
events. The decathlete is usually very good and in fact the best in one or two events and in good standing in the
other eight or nine events. The objective is to be the overall best in all ten events. Decathletes like most athletes must
complete in head to head events to know if they are able to win the overall decathlon. They must study their
competitors in the greatest detail and know their strengths and weakness. They must learn from the other decathletes
what allows them to put out that extra 5% that means the difference between win- ning and just participating. They
must also compete in an environment where the performance standard required to win is always becoming higher.
Being a project manager is similar to the decathlete and in the business of proj- ects, the field is very
competitive. Similar to a decathlon there are events (nine knowledge areas) in the Project Management Body of
Knowledge. The decathletes in project management are the companies that are controlling costs, schedule and
quality on a project level. The project-driven companies must find ways to learn “best practices” in a competitive
world and apply these lessons to their processes, systems, and tools. This method of continuous improvement
through measuring and comparing is referred to as benchmarking as described by Dr. Kerzner.
Nortel aspires to win the decathlon prize, but realizes it is not possible with- out both internal and external
benchmarking measurements and continuous im- provements. The internal benchmarking is similar to intramuraldecathlons where learning comes from watching the friendly decathletes. A significant opportunity for learning and
continuous improvement occurs when the “best in class” have entered the decathlon.
Nortel has particapted in the Kerzner five-step Project Management Maturity Model survey for the last year and
a half. The five steps measure the desired di-
