Abstract

This report aims to examine the effectiveness of the Objectives-oriented Project Planning in the customization of training interventions tailored to company´s needs. The study was held from a single case study and has analyzed a project inserted in the PME training program, partially managed by CH Business Consulting. With an approach of a qualitative nature, the case was explored through the researcher´s participant observation during a traineeship, interviewing actors nvolved in the implementation of this methodology in the field. The findings presented are the result of the empirical data with the theoretical framework and it is based on the analysis model created exclusively for this purpose. The main result obtained indicated the limitations of the MPPO in the context studied and allowed a critical analysis of this method that has identified a set of factors that support this fact: (1) temporal requirements and costs for implementing the methodology, (2) the economic-financial situation of the companies, (3) the motivation of organizations to participate in this project, (4) the high demands of the methodology that requires preparation on the part of the consultants, (5) MPPO limitations due to AEP formalities and requirements on procedures and the project financing. Finally, concluding summary of the study was made indicating the main limitations of this investigation as those inherent in the single case study; the lack of companies´ willingness to analyze the impact of the methodology in an organizational context and the restriction of the sample. The same led to the proposal of researching lines.
