The goal of Project Performance Consulting Ltd is to improve the quality of project management within your organisation, to increase the probability of a successful outcome and to increase the maturity level of your project capability.
Training goes some way towards reaching this goal, but can only provide staff with knowledge about what they ought to do in an ideal world. Usually, this training is directed only at actual or candidate Project Managers, and its cost effectiveness is limited by the minimal amount of actual improvement in project performance as a whole. Some experts say that 80% of the skills learnt on a training course are never applied to the workplace. In other words, you don't necessarily get better performance from your projects by sending managers on training courses - even though you get better project managers!
Projects fail or succeed due to many factors -
- the quality of the project staff - what they know, and more importantly what they do on the job
- the quality of the project management environment - the ability of the organisation to facilitate a successful project outcome
- the consistency, repeatability and improvability of project processes and procedures, sometimes described as organisational maturity
- effective management of the links between strategy, business change programmes and projects
Through its consulting service, Project Performance Consulting Ltd can help to build upon your investment in training by helping project managers and teams to apply best practice to the live project environment.
