The thesis is based on an internship experience at Amazon Luxembourg, where I worked as a direct report to the Head of the Project Management Office and supported the WorldWide Bar Raiser Program for project performance activities. The Bar Raiser Program is the core of Amazon’s talent acquisition strategy to hire candidates who “raise the bar”. Bar Raisers are skilled interviewers who act as neutral third parties in recruiting a candidate. First, a theoretical section on project management and its centrality in goal definition to meet the company's strategic objectives is presented. The paper then outlines the methodologies and tools developed during the internship to improve performance.
