Management Consulting and Training Products
Today, only organizations that continuously
enhance their value to customers are destined to survive and thrive in
a cutthroat environment. Our high tech, manufacturing, utilities, health
care, and government clients know this. For them, we have engineered a
line of Management Consulting and Training Products and Services with
specific features that produce tangible advantages and benefits: faster
cycle times, cheaper and better projects, and more value to clients.
Our Project Management and Training Products and Services include:
Standardized Project Management (SPM) Product
SPM is a time-to-money tool, which produces a brief standards document that sets direction for a successful project, while allowing optimum flexibility. The document mandates the use of fundamentals, while adapting for project specifics. SPM enables predictability without stymieing the creativity of project managers.
I-SCAN Product
I-SCAN is a user-friendly tool that plots the project management skills of an individual project manager and how his or her process skills and interpersonal competencies compare with where they should be. To close the gap, and eliminate the risk of failure, I-SCAN provides a roadmap for improving the skills and competencies of individual project managers.
O-SCAN Product
O-SCAN is a tool that assesses and helps to improve an organization's
project management competitiveness based on process and behavioral components.
A healthy process means that basic project management processes perform
their functions well. Behavioral well-being is founded on the leadership
competencies of project personnel. A strong performance culture, powerful
team chemistry, and organizational preparedness are the crux of success.
After scanning your projects, O-SCAN develops a roadmap that will show
you how to improve your project management so you can create more value
for your clients.
Cross
Cultural Project Mapper Product
Project team members with different cultural backgrounds interpret project management practices differently. These personal interpretations are "the silent language of project management." A high-powered product, the Cross Cultural Project Mapper, enables you to identify the silent language, to measure the cultural differences, and to establish a roadmap to successful mission accomplishment.
Project Start-Up Service
You are picked to lead a new, mission-critical project that needs to be planned right away. Our Project Start-up Service provides experienced consultants who jump in to help you to get a handle on the most effective planning tools, to develop a ready-to-go plan for clean execution, and to build your team on the spot.
Jump Start Service
When a project gets stuck, it loses focus and team members go off tangents. The result is project failure. Our Jump Start Service clarifies the project direction, establishes an action plan, reinvigorates enthusiasm, and enables all team members to work off the same plan.
Running Team Service
Project teams are often assembled under severe time pressure, with demanding goals and tight deadlines being more the rule than an exception. Our Running Team Service helps managers cope with this scenario by quickly building cohesive, productive teams and smooth process dynamics.
