If an important part of your business is to select and deliver projects (and possibly programmes), but you are not doing this effectively, then I can help.
Perhaps you have implemented a project management software tool but are struggling to gain the expected benefits from doing so, or maybe you are thinking about investing in one. Or you might just be wondering how to go about improving your project, programme and/or portfolio management (P3M) capabilities in terms of People, Process, Organisation and/or Technology.
Whichever, it is well worth starting with a short, inexpensive assessment, from which you will obtain a measure of your current capabilities as well as recommendations on how to improve to achieve higher targets and reap the rewards of doing so. The recommendations will include those for People, Process, Organisation and Technology.
To discuss or arrange a short, inexpensive assessment, or to obtain a free copy of my book, please email me at adrian@simplep3m.co.uk or ring me on 07725 950775.
I am conveniently based near Milton Keynes and have a very good track record of implementing simple frameworks (of processes, tools and templates) into small and large businesses throughout the UK, across many industries, which greatly improve value from investments.
Whilst projects and programmes can be complex, the framework for selecting and delivering your portfolio should not be. My SimpleP3M System will enable you to deliver complexity through simplicity.
“We had the pleasure of working with Adrian over many engagements to support our Programme Office transformation programme. His pragmatic outlook and experience helped us develop a structured programme and project roadmap. Adrian’s ability to operate at both senior management and project manager levels helped to uncover the key aspects necessary to develop a workable solution.”
“Adrian brought a common sense and pragmatic approach to the process of developing our project management framework and processes. Using this approach we were able to speedily implement a framework that wasn’t overly complicated but matched our requirements perfectly. A year on, and having setup a new Programme Office which now manages or oversees virtually all Council projects, I can really see the Allerdale importance of keeping it simple and getting the right consultant to guide you through the process from day 1. It really isn’t about what project management technology you have, it’s about getting the right framework and processes.”
“Adrian worked with us to construct a project methodology that was appropriate and effective for our business. He listened to what we felt we needed and understood that we didn’t want to go for an overbearing bureaucracy, but at the same time challenged us to think about what we needed to do as individuals to deliver and operate with realistic project plans.
