Running projects from a corporate location can include many unique challenges depending upon your company’s structure. They can require a multitude of skills ranging from internal sales & marketing, taking into account political awareness, building budget & recharge structures and project management. All this whilst also accepting that in many cases a corporate IT project may not be a subsidiaries main priority even though it needs to be done anyway.

It is vital that anyone working in this environment, whether permanent or contract, understands these challenges and the affect they can have on a projects success. These environments also require an awareness of the priorities of the executives working within them, being able to talk to them about technical issues succinctly and in their language is vital.

In many cases the corporate environment also requires extensive knowledge of international issues and challenges that face high level IT projects. Throw legal issues and contract negotiations into this as well and past experience becomes vital.
