What are some of the important factors in making your Project Management Teams even more successful?
The experience of my years in work has clearly shown that there are three very important factors in bringing success to your organisation.
Passion - This is the fuel that will drive your teams and your people above and beyond in delivering your projects and programs. .
Planning - lanning anchors transformation by clarifying vision, sequencing priorities, allocating resources, managing risks, and aligning people. It turns ambition into executable steps, reduces uncertainty, builds commitment, and enables organisations to adapt deliberately rather than reactively during complex, high-stakes change efforts successfully.
People - by far the most important. Quite cliched, but when companies truly get this right, anything can happen. .
What can I offer to your organisation?
Some of the items we might discuss for a start:
Is your PM effort stuck in a rut?
Are your projects sometimes late, over budget, and not meeting your organisations, customers, stakeholders, or staff’s, expectations?
Are you getting value for your spend on project resources?
Are you outsourcing your PM work? Should you be?
Is value, as envisaged in all PM literature, truly understood, and being delivered by your project efforts?
Have you a solid mentoring and development plan, for your Project Managers, Program Managers, Project Support Staff and other team members?
Answering these honestly can shed some light on where improvements, small or large, can be made to get your total project effort into a healthier place.
Quite often, your people are key to unlocking the full value that organisations should be getting from their PM efforts.
The foundations:
People are Critical To Success in every project and program that is run in any organisation.
3 Core Tenets underpin this:
The 3 Cs’
Communication..
Collaboration
Collegiality
Any serious Project Management journey to creating sustained value in an organisation cannot be achieved efficiently without a deep understanding of these.

“…..and those who danced were thought insane by those who couldn’t hear the music””
Innovation - A playground:
Many of the tasks undertaken in the workplace are done reactively and so only “certain cogs are spinning in our brains'“ Work should be fun and should offer space and time for the “proactive cogs to spin” When this proactive cog spinning is done as a collective it is immensely powerful.
Contact me and we chat more about this and the benefits for your company and your people.

The Concept of the Hybrid Project Toolbox
Many years of experience have convinced me that each project requires a set of tools. Not always the same, and are project dependent.
As a Master Black Belt in Lean Sigma Systems I have found that most benefit has been gained by combining Lean and Project Management Tools and Techniques when Initiating, planning, executing, monitoring/contrilling, and closing projects.
Not one set of tools will do all.
Significant benefits are to be derived through all stages of the Project/Program Lifecycle by taking a Lean approach to all project phases.
I have some really good examples to share on this.
