Approach

Whether you are starting up a new project or recovering a bad one, we focus on a people (and not systems) led approach. There is no shortage of corporate processes and procedures, however, a large portion of projects still struggle to maintain baseline programs and budget. Rooted in PMBOK, we prioritise institutionalising sound techniques on your projects to give you the best possible shot at success.
 
Our delivery approach touches on all steps from project identification and conceptualisation to job setup, management and controls and is founded on:

1. Framing projects around key milestones to manage interfaces and schedule - in this manner using schedule as an essential scope and cost control mechanism.
2. Building integrated project teams and stakeholder relationships where there is absolute certainty on roles and functions and where scope is actively managed so that the project is always relevant and current to the intended needs and outcomes.
3. An appreciation of cross-cultural dynamics in today's globalised economy and the necessity to actively engage to get maximum traction with a diverse work force and client base. This is fundamental to cost reduction and margin improvement.

Improvement Strategies

1. Clear Project Scope and Objectives: Define the project's scope and objectives with the stakeholders to ensure a shared understanding of project goals, deliverables and success criteria.
2. Effective Planning: Develop a comprehensive project plan that outlines tasks, timelines, resource allocation, and dependencies. Identify potential risks and create contingency plans to address unforeseen challenges.
3. Project Management Tools: Implement suitable project management tools to streamline communication, collaboration and task tracking.
4. Risk Management: Identify potential risks early on and develop mitigation plans. Regularly assess risks throughout the project's lifecycle and adapt the strategy as needed.
5. Performance Measurement and Reporting: Define key performance indicators (KPIs) to track the project's progress and success.
6. Lessons Learned and Continuous Improvement: Conduct a project review to identify areas of improvement and document lessons learned. 

Recovery Strategies

​​

• Risk Mismanagement where unaddressed or underestimated risks cause unexpected problems during the project's execution.
• Unclear Roles and Responsibilities where a lack of clarity regarding who is responsible for what can lead to confusion and uncompleted tasks.
• Lack of Progress Visibility where there's no clear visibility into project progress or milestones, it becomes difficult to track performance.
• Budget Overruns where the project exceeds its allocated budget, leading to financial strain and potential resource constraints.
• Scope Creep where the project's scope keeps expanding without proper control or management, causing delays and confusion.

 
Key steps that we will undertake in this situation:

1. Rework the Project Plan: Modify the project plan, timeline, and resource allocation as necessary to address challenges.
2. Risk Mitigation: Develop and implement risk mitigation strategies to minimise potential issues.
3. Engage Stakeholders: Engage stakeholders and address their concerns to gain their support and cooperation.
4. Change Management: Introduce change management practices to manage scope changes effectively.
