Project management
Turning project and strategy execution into sound investments

Why many projects struggle or fail

Data shows that roughly 50 % of all projects and change initiatives struggle to deliver on time, cost and scope/quality, and about 25 % of projects fail altogether. But why is this so and why do organizations accept it?

 

Through years of executing projects, training people in project management and interviewing project professionals, it has become clear that the current, predominant perception of ‘what a project is’ is flawed and therefore a root cause of many struggling and failing projects.

 

A humble project packs a mighty punch. It is not merely an endeavor to bring about a (technical) solution within a given timeframe and budget. To view it as such will often leads to poor ROI.

 

So, what is a project?

A project is an investment in change

These seven words mean that we need to view all projects as investments. To illustrate the consequence of this definition we have developed The Project Value Chain© – a path that all projects must traverse to ensure both development of the solution (products), but also the necessary People Change and realization of benefits.

 

Ultimately, a project can only be a success if it delivers the necessary change while also outweighing the negative consequences of investing in it.

 

Our approach

Our approach stands on the foundation of The Project Value Chain©. It is grounded in five decades of best practices in project management, encapsulated in manuals and textbooks like PRINCE2, the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PM BoK), ISO standards for risk & quality management, The Managing Successful Programmes (MSP) Manual, Management of Portfolios (MoP), Management of Risk (MoR), and the Managing Benefits manuals.

 

As such, we utilize the best practices developed through the years, while always securing a clear path through The Project Value Chain©.
