Planpower have established a new service line to specifically focus on project management Improvement. This practice group are working with an extensive range of clients throughout Australia to:
- Improve the project management capability of our clients
- Assist our clients to successfully deliver their projects
- Align projects with strategic objectives
The project management improvement journey can begin at any point in an organisation's project management maturity as our research and benchmarking shows that most organisations need improvement in at least 3 areas:
- Risk,
- Benefits realisation,
- Data & knowledge management
Whilst organisations will have some parts of the "framework" in place (eg. tools, experience, methodology), too often projects and programs are run without measuring outcomes, managing the strategic links back to the business or more importantly selecting which projects to proceed with in the first place.
