PRINCE 2 Reaching new Markets - Japan

In recent months we have noticed that the interest in the PRINCE2 Project Management framework has reached an important new market - Japan.

Unfortunately the increase in interest is borne on the back of a natural disaster that shocked the world in terms of loss of life and loss of infrastructure. It is an fact that following disasters there is a requirement to re-build and re-building requires structured process and a proven methodology.

We often think that a framework like PRINCE2 is only used in business environments to drive projects that are supported by well reasoned business cases. While this is true also understand that PRINCE2 is a critical part of re-building projects following the major devastation we have seen in Japan, New Zealand and Australia.

PRINCE2 helps communities such as those hit hard by Cyclone Yasi in the northern part of Queensland, Australia to reestablish industries such as tourism and restore loss of infrastructure. PRINCE2 can be a crucial part of helping entire cities to recover following major events, such as the major earthquakes experienced by the people of Christchurch, New Zealand. PRINCE2 is also a part of the solution for an entire country to restore communities, towns, infrastructure and services, following a series of major events, such as the Earthquake, Tsunami and Nuclear scare experienced by the people of Japan earlier this year.

At all times our thoughts are with the people who are suffering in these areas.
