Executing your projects to a high standard is essential to achieving organisational goals. Indeed, many executives are criticised for choosing the wrong strategy, when in fact they are victims of underperforming tactical initiatives.
A modern organisation, whether in the private or public sector, is a complex socio-technical system. It is more than the sum of its parts: the people, hardware and software. Introducing new technology and ways of working into such a system will inevitably lead to conflict and uncertainty on the path to strategic gains.
Faced with such conflict traditional, procedural techniques of project management are ineffective. When combined with inflexible supply chains bound by narrowly drafted contracts, progress stalls as participants waste their energy in the search for a false sense of security and stability.
Xrisk Consulting offers a variety of services to commoditise the risks associated with project delivery. We eschew the traditional model of project management in favour of dynamic, flexible techniques that are tailored to the needs of our customers. We prefer to work under simple, fixed-price arrangements over short timescales, ensuring that we are always sensitive to the requirements of our client.
Will your supply chain share your risks?

Project Managers are surrounded by policy, procedures and received wisdom, such as the PRINCE2 standard dominant in the UK.
Formal Methods provide a common vocabulary for discussing abstract concepts, and a model for building teams and communicating between different stakeholders. But they are not strait-jackets to be adopted without thought or reason.
Great executives recognise that success lies in finding the strengths of each unique team, responding to events and adapting to local circumstances. The same attitudes are a path to successful project delivery.
