Abstract

This study investigated success factors of
transformation projects that were managed by Indonesian public leadership
education and training participants. Previous reports on project management
success factors mostly were of quantitative natures and paid very little
attention to the process of educating and training of prospective public project
managers. All of key informants were alumni of public leadership programs in Indonesia,
who involved voluntarily in the current qualitative study. Open-ended questionnaire
was set up for one on one interviews in gathering evidences, and the NVivo 10
was used both in managing and analyzing them. The constant inductions of this
research revealed that project’s innovation, team performances, risk management,
resources controlling, and schedule monitoring were the top five success
factors in managing public transformation projects in education and training
settings.
