Big projects need someone who owns them.
Helping organisations plan, coordinate, and execute projects with clear objectives, defined responsibilities, effective stakeholder engagement, and measurable results.
Of every dollar invested in projects, 9.9% is wasted through poor project performance.
You might recognise this.
If one of these sounds like your week, start here.
- A big project has no one senior to own it.
- Everyone is busy, and the project still slips.
- We only find out it’s late when it’s already late.
- Nobody is sure who signs off a change.
What the work includes.
Sized to your organisation. You choose what you need now, and we tell you what can wait.
- Project planning
- Scope, objectives, timeline and budget agreed before the work starts, with a named owner for each part.
- Project coordination
- Keeping people, suppliers and tasks moving in the same direction, week by week.
- Stakeholder management
- Keeping the board, staff, funders and partners informed and on side, from the first meeting to handover.
- Implementation oversight
- Senior ownership of a complex initiative, from plan to delivery, with timelines, people and governance aligned.
- Progress reporting
- Short, regular reports that show what is done, what is late and what needs a decision.
- Risk management
- The risks that could stop the project, each with an owner and a plan, reviewed as the work moves.
- Project governance
- Who approves what, when the project checks in, and how changes to scope get decided.
What changes when it’s done.
Every engagement runs in three stages: understand, structure, implement. This is what you should notice at the end, and the kind of working document you keep.
Clear ownership
Every part of the project has a named owner and a date.
No surprises
Regular reporting shows problems while there is still time to fix them.
Results you can measure
The project ends with the outcome it set out to deliver, and a record of how it got there.
One page. Every owner, every date.
