Academic
The academic world presents its own unique project management challenges. In contrast to the corporate sector, private higher education traditionally does not establish only one centralized decision-making authority for facilities projects. Each school within a university functions autonomously, and each faculty member has considerable influence. What’s more, the culture encourages individualism, which can result in widespread disdain for institutionally-imposed standards. This emphasis on the individual necessitates considerable personal attention and diplomacy.
Furthermore, though the public and private academic sectors have much in common, recognition of their distinct differences is fundamental to successful project management in each. Fox has achieved exceptional results in both environments.
