The only root cause behind all project success and failure is simple... people! People are emotional, ambitious, confident, defensive, optimistic, pessimistic, etc. - and this is ultimately reflected in every project outcome. Coaching can help your team build on their strengths, identify new opportunities. It can open their eyes to new perspectives, and challenge them in exciting ways.
Many executives and senior leaders ask the same questions, and are facing similar challenges. "How do I know which questions to ask my project managers?" "My eyes glaze over when I read a project report." "I'm tired of surprises. How do I get the truth early?" "What information do I really need to ensure my projects are on track?" This customizable workshop will help your executive team to be more effective in working with your project teams, and really take control of your portfolio.
Many organisations struggle with the challenge of project reporting. Some projects produce a one page report, others produce hundreds of pages every month. Countless hours are spent trying to find a single design that will suit everyone's needs. Ray can help you break through this common problem, and brings the latest technology to drive the right insights and the right actions to affect project outcomes.
Projects, by definition, have one thing in common - they start and they end. This simple fact can create challenges in maintaining a sustainable approach to organizational capability in projects. This workshop will help you understand your organisation's current capability in Project and Portfolio Management, help you explore a wide range of strategic alternatives, and develop a plan to reach your goals.
Technology is unlocking new opportunities to make project teams more effective and productive.
