Development of the knowledge system based on formation of holistic competence of project managers in the Czech Republic

Abstract

Based on research from Czech and international sources in the field of project management, the main goal of this paper is to compile a set of relevant data, skills and experiences in order to increase the level of the holistic competence of project managers in the Czech Republic. The primary goal will be a compilation of suggestions regarding knowledge systems development based on the elements of holistic competence, e.g. in areas such as the acquisition of information and practical skills as well as familiarization with relevant social maturity skills in the conditions of the Czech Republic. A summarizing analysis will be undertaken of individual levels of knowledge in project management centered on skills in holistic management, general management and strategic management. A comparison of the differences between Czech and international information sources should prove to be another important theoretical contribution. Acquainting International Project Management Association members with information regarding the holistic competence of project managers should be considered not only as a contribution to stakeholders and investors in the private sector, but also to universities and public. © 2017 IEEE.
