From the Paper:

"The goal of Strategic Project Leadership is a new and innovative way to approach the workplace. SPL aims to provide a competitive advantage for businesses in the marketplace. SPL programs today are geared toward educating company executives, project managers, and professional groups about building an effective framework for projects, implementing and executing the ideals of a successful project strategy, and how to give their projects a competitive edge in the industry. The focus of strategic project leadership is not only to earn profits and get the job done, but to ensure a successful business through positive communication in a positive and motivating work environment."
