Programs and Projects are powerful execution tools that when used well deliver sustainable results. We see Programs and Projects as the execution end of your strategy.

Strategy without execution is blind, and execution without purpose is meaningless. Organizations able to use Programs and Projects to execute their strategy have a competitive edge.

We Can Help.

Our consultants have the expertise and experience to help your organization use Programs and Projects to get results. We can help:

  • Use programs to align your organization's resources and energy to its strategy
  • Implement a small footprint and big impact governance structure
  • Leverage your organization's existing project management skills
  • Apply consistent project management in the face of multiple methodologies

Programs

Programs provide organizations with a means to execute their strategy, focus their energy, and unleash their people's potential.

More strategic than Projects, an organization's Programs are closely aligned to its strategy and are structured to be effective across businesses, functions, and if needed, global regions. Unlike many of their constituent projects, Programs are not methodology specific and are focused on the cumulative benefit being created for stakeholders.

Projects

Projects are used to create value in every area of the organization. Projects are a vehicle to produce specific results. Bringing a team of people together to produce these results according to stakeholder needs is the objective of Project Management.

Different parts of the organization are challenged with different problems and have adopted or created methodologies useful in addressing these challenges. Information Technology, Research & Development, and Process Improvement are examples. Often, it's difficult to understand what if any Project Management is needed beyond these methodologies—and this is where clients find our deep understanding of methodology and our extensive Project Management knowledge and experience a real asset.

The people leading projects can go further with a coach. Coaching not only accelerates a Project Manager's learning, it helps ensure the objectives.
