Typical Challenges we Address

We help solve a number of potentially costly and delivery critical challenges often faced by organisations going through a number of change projects.

U

Transparency

Green wash programme status, unable to present key risks and issues in the right way. Lack of readily available data to display.

Analysis Paralysis

Teams are highly active, but there is little tracking or proof of success, making it difficult to meet the demands of top management.

Meeting Overload

Too many important individuals waste significant time in meetings that lack direction and purpose. Excessive repetitive reporting that does not hit the mark.

Planning

No plans for the future – milestones & tasks, Resources, changes landing last minute. The result is additional expenses, time, and effort.

Z

Standards

Lack of central storage for important information, inconsistent documentation of low quality (PPT, Word), and a communications strategy that does not meet internal expectations
