Introduction

Thank you for participating in Acuity's PM Behavioural Index survey. This survey seeks to measure the extent to which organisations have implemented the recommendations of the 2007 PMO Executive Council study, Attributes of a High-Performing Project Manager. In particular, we are measuring the extent to which organisations have embedded behavioural attributes into their PM recruitment, development and performance management practices.

The survey is divided into the following 5 sections:

• About You and Your Organisation
• PM Behaviours in Your Organisation
• PM Recruitment Process
• PM Performance Management
• PM Development Process

The survey makes many references to PM behaviours. We define behaviours as the non-technical, interpersonal actions and reactions that influence how skills, knowledge and experience are applied. These include observable behaviours such as:

• demonstrating credibility;
• building relationships with stakeholders;
• communicating in an engaging and compelling manner.
