Project Management: FUJITSU UK

Fujitsu UK operates under the numerous subsidiaries of Fujitsu Limited, one of the

largest Japanese multinational companies that seek to dominate the global information and

communication technology industry. The company delves into the production of information and

communication technology services and equipment. Fujitsu claims a top position among the

largest companies in terms of revenues from IT services (Stone et al., 2020, pp. nd). However,

the company feels the need to increase its market share by preparing proficient project managers

in the industry. Due to Fujitsu’s numerous technological equipment and services, the company

must streamline its project management activities. To ascertain its dominance in the industry, the

company must prepare a reliable source of project managers. According to the current

management, Fujitsu should develop an early-career development framework to guarantee

effective project managers in the future. The framework would serve to facilitate practical

training and development to Fujitsu’s recruits and young employees. The management

acknowledges that the traditional UK approach has failed to produce effective project managers

for the company. Companies hire groups of young university graduates in the conventional

approach and take them through a two-year general business management training program. For

years, the training programs in the company have failed because the business management

program did not include project management concepts and failed to address student needs.

Moreover, the program reported high attritions rates, signifying that the program was not helpful

to the candidates. This paper presents a project that would ascertain that Fujitsu enjoys

sustainable disposal of project managers in the future. The article presents the specific strategic

elements of the project and further justifies the project approach. A brief conclusion summarizes

the key areas discussed in the project.
