Strategic Management and Project Management Maturity in Non-profit Organizations

Abstract

The paper deals with project maturity of non-profit organisations from the perspective of strategic management. Its purpose is to broaden the knowledge and contribute to the consideration of the relationship that exists between the project maturity of nonprofit organisations and the strategic management perspective. This subject has not been sufficiently researched yet. In the presented considerations, it was assumed that the increase in project maturity corresponds to the increase in professionalism in managing non-profit organisations, which translates into the coordination of strategic project initiatives. The article contributes to the theory of project management by bringing attention to the role of project maturity in implementing strategic, key and long-term development goals of nonprofit organisations. The conclusions drawn are based on the results of a survey on a sample of 93 nonprofit organisations operating in Poland.
