Project Management, as a distinct discipline with its own methodology and language, has evolved over the last 20 years from earlier concepts such as logistics programming and manufacturing scheduling. When considering how to implement a significant change to an organisation, almost uniformly executive management will choose to adopt a project-based model regardless of industry or sector.
But a frank assessment of the success of professional Project Management must recognise that it rarely delivers the results it promises. When implementing a programme of change, executive management is opposing the collective will of every member of the organisation operating within the current processes and systems, even where that opposition is unconscious. Fighting against this inertia is a tough proposition.
When appointing project managers from within an organisation there is always a danger that strong resistance can lead to loss of morale and delivery failure. Pure consultancy, rooted in MBA theory and accountancy practice lacks the day-to-day pragmatism and political acumen to assist you in achieving your strategic goals.
Ultimately, both internal managers and day-rate consultants are too vulnerable to external pressure, and may unconsciously sabotage their own efforts.

Controlled Risk Project Execution
Our flagship product is a commoditised approach to controlling the risks inherent in delivering major organisational change initiatives. A CRPE framework offers the security of an objective, external project management function without compromising your budgetary control. Management of a project is funded through achievement of defined benefits for the business, whether measured in increased sales or reduced costs.
If you're currently executively responsible for a project, then ask yourself "Do I spend my day worrying about the performance of the project manager?". If the answer is yes, then we've got news for you - You are the one running the project!
- Do you want to free up your schedule?
- Do you want to spend your days running your business, not the underlying projects?
- Do you want to understand the risks in your project and control your exposure?
