(3) White Papers
(a) How to Find the Right Projects
Organizations trying to drive innovation with their projects face the basic questions:
- How can they assure that the right innovation projects are undertaken in order to meet or exceed their overall goals?
- How can they link the chosen projects successfully to the overall strategy of the organization?
The aim of this paper is to show a concrete and practical process for strategy development and to present a proposal how to facilitate this process so that project selection and linkage to the strategy can be achieved. It thus complements the section on Project Portfolio Management of this web site.
Originally, this paper was created for the 20th IPMA World Congress held from October 15 to 17, 2006, in Shanghai, then adapted this web site.

(b) Project planning (white paper)
Too many projects lack sufficient planning; and if they have it, the plans lack flexibility for those things in implementation that are likely to change. On this web site, in section Planning Phase and its sub-sections, we give an overview over the steps and elements of the project planning process that help to create sufficient, yet flexible enough project plans. The following paper combines those project planning steps and elements into one pdf-file, ready for download.
