To be successful at executing strategy through projects you need to build individual competency as well as your organizational capability.
TOP provides you with comprehensive start-to-end tools, techniques and processes to enable you to take a stratagem, validate it and then execute it successfully.
FREE MATERIALS on the TOP website—books, blogs, videos, templates and frameworks—for you to read and share.
MASTERCLASSES focus on giving a quick start to building individual competency. These cover specific areas such as how to build a Value Equation or aim to change how you how you think about, approach and deliver projects, benefits, or your strategy. They contain self-study videos, readings and book downloads.
CENTERS of EXPERTISE (CoE) contain more extensive materials targeted to building organizational capability and include end-to-end processes with all activities that link strategy to results, templates, slide packs for workshops, guidance as to how to implement the processes, and more. These are intended for you to use and adapt to suit your organization’s needs.
CERTIFICATION is presently via webinar and also online for the TOP Value Equation™.
Everyone—from senior business executives down to front-line operational staff and project & technical specialists—can easily build their skills as they apply the materials to address project problems, and at the same time your organization builds its core capabilities to define valuable projects that execute the strategy and then deliver business results.
You can learn and use the TOP material yourself, or access the support of TOP Partners if you would like to accelerate your learning curve.
“The reason why the processes and techniques work so well? Boy, did we get told if they didn’t!” — Alex Chapman
TOP does not replace project methodologies such as PMI or PRINCE2. Rather, TOP links wonderfully well to orthodox project delivery processes and software development techniques, as it enables these to be far more effective.
TOP does, however, disagree with some of the orthodox views on projects delivery. For example, there is a view that “projects do not deliver benefits, programs do.”
TOP says all projects and programs should deliver value!
