Projektna mreža Slovenije            junij  3
V vsakdanjem pogovornem jeziku vse pogosteje srečamo 
besedo projekt. Uporabljajo jo – poleg managerjev in 
strokovnjakov s področja poslovne organiziranosti – tudi 
drugi poklici kot so npr. zdravniki, politiki, učitelji itd. 
Iz tega lahko sklepamo, da si projektni način dela in 
projektni management utirata pot tudi na področja in 
v dejavnosti, znotraj katerih do sedaj ni bil v večji meri 
prisoten, ter postajata stalnica in nepogrešljivo orodje v 
procesih vodenja, doseganja strateških ciljev in dvigovanja 
konkurenčnosti ne samo v gospodarstvu, temveč tudi 
v izobraževalnih ustanovah, zavarovalnicah, bankah, 
javni upravi ipd. Navedeni trendi pa niso prisotni samo 
v našem okolju, temveč bi lahko govorili o globalnem 
prodoru projektnega managementa na skoraj vsa področja 
človekovega ustvarjalnega delovanja. Torej lahko govorimo 
o renesansi projektnega managementa v sodobno razvitih 
družbah.
Veliki popularnosti projektnega načina dela v sodobni 
družbi sledi tudi razvoj stroke projektnega managementa. 
Zadnjih dvajset let se je projektni management razvijal 
od sistemskega vidika, preko ciljno usmerjene teorije, 
do projektno usmerjenega managementa (termini, 
ki jih v strokovni literaturi srečamo so project-based 
management, management by project ali project oriented 
management, strategic oriented project management). 
Danes so aktualna področja znanstvenega preučevanja 
teorije managementa na eni strani usmerjena v razvoj 
novih oblik instrumentarija projektnega managementa 
(kot je npr. projektni portfolio) in na drugi strani v razvoj 
teorije o integralnosti projektnega managementa, ki obsega 
celovit koncept managementa v organizaciji. V navedena 
prizadevanja se uvršča tudi področje preučevanja projektne 
odličnosti, kateri posvečamo tudi vsebino junijske številke 
revije Projektna mreža Slovenije.
Druga letošnja številka revije Projektna mreža Slovenije 
je po svoji vsebini – znanstvenem preučevanju področja 
projektne odličnosti – tesno povezana z letošnjim osrednjim 
dogodkom Slovenskega združenja za projektni management 
– Projektnim forumom 2007. K sodelovanju pri nastajanju 
tematske številke smo povabili nekatere mednarodno 
priznane strokovnjake s področja projektnega managementa 
in projektne odličnosti. Nekateri avtorji prispevkov so se 
udeležili tudi Mednarodnega akademskega foruma, ki je 
bil organiziran v sklopu Projektnega foruma 2007. Njihovi 
prispevki niso bili objavljeni v Zborniku Foruma, temveč 
smo jim namenili prostor v posebni izdaji naše revije. S tem 
smo prispevali majhen delež k popularizaciji znanstvenega 
razvoja projektnega managementa – predvsem projektne 
odličnosti – v slovenskem prostoru.

The word ‘project’ can be found more and more often in 
everyday colloquial language. It is being used – apart from 
managers and business organisation experts – by other 
professionals, such as doctors, politicians, teachers, etc. A 
conclusion can be drawn from the above that project work 
and project management are blazing its trail to the fields 
and activities in which they have not been largely present 
until now and are becoming a constant and an indispensable 
tool in processes of management, achievement of strategic 
goals and raising of competitiveness not only in economy 
but also in educational facilities, insurance companies, 
banks, public administration, etc. The above trends are 
not present in our environment only; one could speak of a 
global breakthrough of project management in almost all 
areas of man’s creative activities. One can thus speak of the 
renaissance of project management in modern developed 
societies. 
High popularity of project work in contemporary society 
is followed by development of the project management 
field. For the last twenty years, project management has 
been developing from the system point of view through 
target-oriented theory to project-oriented management 
(terms one comes across in specialised literature are: 
project-based management, management by project or 
project oriented management, strategic oriented project 
management). Today’s topical areas of scientific research of 
the management theory are, on one hand, oriented towards 
the development of new forms of project management 
instrumentation (e.g. project portfolio) and, on the other, 
towards the development of the theory on completeness of 
project management, comprising an overall management 
concept in a company. The June issue of the Project 
Management Review is dedicated to the research of project 
excellence, which is part of the above stated endeavours.
The contents of this year’s second issue of the Project 
Management Review – scientific research of project 
excellence – are closely linked to this year’s central event 
of the Slovene Project Management Association – Project 
Forum 2007. Some of the internationally renowned experts 
from the field of project management and project excellence 
were invited to collaborate in this thematic issue. Several 
of the participating authors assisted in the International 
Academic Forum that was organised within the Project 
Forum 2007. Their articles will not be published in the 
miscellany of the Forum, but were dedicated a separate 
place in the special issue of our review. This is our small 
contribution to the popularisation of scientific development 
of project management (of project excellence, above all) in 
Slovenia.
