Value Added Project Management & Governance

Project Management

Companies invest significant time and money to develop their strategy. The best ones involve their employees in the process so they enrol them at the same time. Some companies organize offsite retreat and day long meetings. Then everyone comes back to work all pumped up and motivated by the new outlook they have of their future. However, the reality and day to day begin to take over. They are left alone trying to figure out how to make a difference and make the strategy a reality. Real value and benefits come from the ability to transform their ideas into reality. In other words, to deliver your strategy, you need projects and project management

How will we help you beat the odds

Our approach

Like many other things in life, project management has been commoditized. More and more people claim to be project managers. Technically they are but they lack the “scars” that come with putting themselves on the line to make things happen. Some call it “field experience”, we think it’s more about doing things because they are the right things to do and having the courage to have the difficult and uncomfortable conversations when it’s time.

The very conversations that no one wants to have, for the good of the project and the good of the business. Not only will we have these conversations but we will make sure they happen timely. We will respectfully challenge every situation and make sure every problem is getting resolved. When we say we deliver results, we mean it.

However, our experience in delivering projects could make the difference between a painful project and a much smooth, seamless and successful experience. It could also make the difference between delivering value that fulfill your strategic objectives and simply delivering on time, on schedule and within budget.

When you work with us, we not only understand the project needs but also your people’s needs. This allows us to provide you with the best combination of person, experience and expertise possible. We won’t just provide a project manager but rather a fully experienced team specialized in delivering projects.

Governance

In order to maximise your chances of success, a “lean and mean” governance is a must. Governance plays a vital role in the selection and prioritization of projects. It also plays an important role in the monitoring and supporting of the ongoing projects. Without a healthy governance in place, chaos ensues. Governance is also your first step in building your project management capability and ensuring that you have a mean to operationalize your strategy.
