Decision-Making as a Core Competency in Project, Program, and Portfolio Management

This video describes the research proposal of Benigno Alfredo Armijos De La Cruz, who seeks to elevate decision-making to a core competency in project, program, and portfolio management. His research has an applied, descriptive, and propositional focus, utilizing a mixed strategy that combines qualitative analysis of existing models with quantitative methods. The research focuses on key questions regarding the current integration of decision-making, its impact on performance, and the behaviors that differentiate high-performing managers. To validate his hypotheses, a quasi-experimental study is proposed with a survey to measure decision-making competency, which will be correlated with project performance metrics. The collected data will be rigorously managed, and advanced statistical analyses will be applied. Furthermore, the project seeks funding from Horizon Europe (MSCA), highlighting its multidisciplinary and collaborative nature.
