Mentoring
IDEAS! project managers are ready to assist your project team in performing any or all important project management activities. We will mentor your project team members in best practices and will help develop customised training and development plans designed to increase both individual and team performance.
Project Office Implementation
Enterprise-wide project management is as complex and challenging as it is effective and necessary. Establishing a central project management office (PMO) makes good business sense. Our project management professionals have extensive experience implementing project offices that maximise efficiencies across departmental boundaries. We will work with you to establish corporate best practices that provide clear and consistent communications to all stakeholders.
Tool Selection and Implementation
In any endeavor, success usually depends on selecting the best tool for the job. Project management is no exception. The technical and business knowledge of our project managers, when coupled with their cross-industry experience, means they know first-hand which tools work best for your company's needs. We have worked with a variety of project management methodologies and tools and can help select the best tools available for your environment.
Project Communication
Poor project communication can lead to a variety of problems and delays. Today's fast-paced business environment doesn't always allow for effective communication to all project stakeholders. As a result, a project manager is often forced to spend valuable time dealing with mishandled communication instead of dealing with real issues. IDEAS! project managers will help you develop a strategic project communications plan that will keep all stakeholders informed of project status and eliminate project missteps related to poor communication.
Change Management
The only constant is change. Ineffective change management practices can doom the success of even the best project plan. Our project management professionals know first-hand how to help you implement effective formal change management practices on both an enterprise-wide and project-based scale.
Vendor Management
Either you manage your vendors, or they will manage you. We can help you forge and build healthy relationships that allow you to conduct business with vendors in a respectful and mutually beneficial way.
If your goal is consistent delivery of projects - on time and on budget - our project management professionals have a history of making IT happen.
