ARE YOUR PROJECTS TOO IMPORTANT TO FAIL?

Did you know that approx. 72% of all projects fail or go off course, only 25% of these projects ever recover.
Would you like to have a far better recovery rate statistics, say over 95% of the troubled projects recover?

The key to recover failing projects firstly is to not panic, assess the situation, decide on actions and execute. Most importantly, do not start to play mind games like blame, internal politics, and so forth. In most cases when you engage an external consultant (or even a team) to recover your project(s), organisations are more likely to accept feedback and remedial actions. Reason being, the consultant is not part of any potential politics. (S)he is not biased towards any power-play that might take place.

Our simple methodology for recovery of projects is effective. Within a short period of time the problems are identified and addressed together with management and/or project sponsor.

Our 3-Step Project Reboot method can you help you evaluate the gaps in your project approach, methods, processes, people, vendors, project management, and missed opportunities. We make it easy to recover, fast.
