Project Initiation & Planning Services
Starting up a project is quite a bit more challenging than running it once it’s off to a good start. For critical or large projects, engage us to get your project off on the right foot. We’ll leave you with processes, templates, and knowledge transfer that benefit your other projects as well.

Bring us on at any point in a project’s lifecycle, to help improve your return on the cost, benefit, and schedule.
- Ensure your use project management software is delivering enough benefits to the team
- Just-in-time coaching on ways to manage scope, risks, and issues, as well as meetings management

- For a project in trouble, we can create the action plan for project recovery and get the stakeholders re-engaged, the risks re-assessed, and the scope, schedule and budgets recommitted
Project Close-out Services
Towards the end of a project everyone gets distracted by their next project as well as the urgency of final deliverables. Engage us to help leverage the lessons learned.
- We can collect the feedback and run the project close-out phase for you, or
- We can conduct a stakeholder survey, organize the team to get through a close-out checklist, and facilitate the project close-out report so that lessons learned are shared effectively
Project Support
For your larger projects, we can provide skilled coordinators to support your project managers by focusing on scheduling, meetings management or presentations preparation, for example.
Training & Lecture Topics
We are comfortable interpreting the PMBOK (Project Management Book of Knowledge) for practical executives. Workshops topics include: how project management practices benefit the executive, why and how a PMO can succeed, the key issues during project start-up, and the details of how to plan out a project so that benefits are realized within the budget and schedule. We are also expert at virtual teaming and collaboration so for an organization new at this we have many tips and tricks to convey.
