I work with senior executives or department managers who are ready to make changes in their organization. They have corporate goals and strategic plans, but they are not being achieved consistently or they are not achieved at all. Strategic plans and budgets might be prepared on a regular cycle, but they do not drive the business.

I work with senior managers who are ready for a change. They are ready to get everyone in their organization working together towards common goals. They do not have time to waste on confusion and on attempts to improve; they want to improve the organization quickly and professionally, now.

What problems can we solve together?

You tried introducing project management or a PMO, but it did not work in your organization. Now you are ready to make it work properly. Project management can join strategy to execution in amazing ways, but often people resist the changes. Sometimes the changes do not fit the culture of the company, and no one knows how to adapt it to make it work. How can we join strategy to execution, reliably and predictably? How can we do it in a way that your staff will accept and embrace?

You have great ideas and you get them started quickly, but they either fail or disappear after a few months. Nothing seems to get done, and little changes. How can we make real changes in your business? How can we make sure that all your important work either gets completed or gets canceled for good business reasons?

You have been successful at getting schedules or budgets under control, but you want to do better and are not sure how. There are many great ways to control budgets and schedules. Good policies and procedures are essential, and some software packages can help. Which ones are right for your organization? Can you take your tactical success and turn it into strategic triumph? Are all your projects clearly connected to bottom-line results? Are you able to prove the value and impact of all the company’s efforts to senior management and board members? How can we improve that link between strategy and execution at your company?
