Our Approach

Whether you are driven to maximize the Realized Benefits of your Corporate Portfolio, or specific Strategic Goals and Objectives, your Programs and Projects need Design + Focus + Speed more than ever to navigate the ‘Epic’ journey ahead. ;-) Consider us to steer your Program or Project with strong planning, governance, and execution by Design to max your Outcomes.

Transformational Programs, Strategic Projects, & Business Performance Initiatives are a great opportunity to a] create momentum and energy; b] foster greater cross-functional camaraderie and understanding; and c] achieve new levels of performance, skill, and results for Everyone involved from Execs to Front Line —> if (big IF) Engagement , Efficiency , Effectiveness , and Enjoyment are managed well. Don’t let your Programs | Projects’ potential go untapped or unmaxed! Go for More.

We apply PMI and Agile methods and means to Programs | Projects - best to leverage the best of both! Some increadibly smart Minds have spent entire lives developing and proving the ideas, actions, and controls these methodologies add to the life of a Project. The Big Picture planning, documentation, and analysis that Waterfall establishes combined with the Adaptive Cycles of prioritization, ‘forced’ feedback, and speed to value that Agile encourages - a hybrid approach is a better bridge for connecting and directing diverse Stakeholders and their Objectives to achieve the desired Outcomes.

Templates & Tools are important too - in addition to the Basics (must haves), like: Project Charter, Problem Statement & Objectives, Budget, Project Plan, Communication Plan, Schedule Plan, Resource Plan, etc - we leverage these for maximum transformation and impact:

1. Stakeholder Mapping & Analysis (Engage or Enrage, which sounds better to you?)

2. Requirements Traceability Matrix (5 Wrecks to Avoid in any Project)

3. RASCI Chart (Responsible, Accountable, Supporting, Consult, Inform)

4. RAID Log (Risks, Actions, Issues, Decisions)

5. Outcomes-Driven Weekly Status Report (Communication, Collaboration, Coordination)

We’d be thrilled to manage and perform your Program | Project by Design and reach your intended Destination On Time > On Budget > On Goal. We’ll keep our foot on the gas and hands on the wheel for You and your Team.
