I work for Ethicon Biosurgery and they are a subsidiary of Johnson and Johnson. The company’s project management awareness is advanced, however it is not without it’s flaws. The company provides many resources from conferences, seminars, and online tutorials on topics pertaining to project management and the importance behind successful team work. However, based off the several projects I have been a part of there have been times where the project flowed seamlessly while other times there were many hurdles, mainly due to communication problems and time delays in reporting information between different divisions. From personal experience the fewer divisions that were involved in a project the more efficiently the project was completed. With the couple large scale projects I worked on the main problem I noticed was that there was no sense of urgency when information was requested. I believe that this stems from the fact that other divisions focus more on their own projects and do not give as much priority to a project of such a large scale and a diffusion of responsibilities is created.
