Project Leadership Roles at TriHealth

Introduction

        TriHealth manages several other organizations such as large hospitals, physical fitness centers and nursing facilities. Because the company was growing in size and complexity, the leaders of TriHealth decided they needed to assign formal definitions to the roles the project executive sponsor, project leader, performance improvement consultant, core team member, and the subject matter expert.

        Project invention can be one of most important methods that a company can use to accomplish its strategic goals. When projects are created the roles that are required for these projects are defined also to meet specific requirements of the human resource project. For every existing aspect of the project management there are different goals and there must be policies and procedures in place to avoid any dysfunction. A company’s structure and size of its project can be an indication of how it is organized. All projects will have executive, managerial and associate level responsibilities regarding the human resource project.

Identification and Analysis of Current Roles

        Projects will require unique roles depending on the size and type of project that is being developed. This will determine the types of projects that are available. Smaller projects may have a chief sponsor, project manager and the project team. Organizations such as the military tend to have a project manager and a project team leads. “This allows the project to have some individuals making sure each single portion of the project timeline to complete” (Arnold & Pulich, 2007). Larger projects will have more people involved during the stages of completion. Both large and small projects have general duties that are mandatory for all projects regardless of size. The duties required include the analyst, stakeholder, project manager, facilitator and the customer.

        The analyst has the responsibility of making sure that all of the customer’s requirements are captured and are completed to the necessary specifications. The analyst is sometimes referred to as the business systems analyst. Stakeholders are a single group of people that have a direct on the projects of the company or who are directly affected by the projects that the company decides to undertake. When a company is in the midst of project management planning, an initial step that is very important is to identify the stakeholders of the project. “Stakeholders tend to have a range from those individuals working on the project, the groups or the organizations influenced by the project to consist of the general public in and about the facility together with the project region” (Piscopo, 2012).  In addition, the number of stakeholders that are involved depends on the project and can number in the thousands or millions. A project can always be a part of a city or county’s work subdivision and can include the community members.
