Starting my own consulting firm in project management and business analysis, in the middle of the COVID19-crisis, with +20 years of experiences is simply one of the most exciting journeys undertaken in my professional career. Project management and business analysis are professions, it requires efforts and time to get a solid background and needed set of competences and skills to master the finesse. Too often I have seen organizations offering project management positions to a person that want to make a career switch without proper coaching. This reduces project management to a trial and error organization. Missed efficiencies, increasing cost and many frustrations later are adding to weak benefits once the project is implemented. But also you don’t make good use of that person’s years of expertise in one (or more) specific functional domain(s). As an organization you are loosing money 3 times: increased project cost, reduced R.O.I. and minimized use of inhouse expertise. *Have no doubts about your organization's size to apply project management. The project approach should fit the 'size'!* 1. Ask you the question what is needed to put a project organization in place that fits to your organization? Do you want to invest in it? Do you prefer to insource an external partner? 2. An approach is only successful if it fits your organization. What works best for you: e.g. agile or waterfall project principle? 3. When defining a business case have an holistic view on what happens in the organization. There are the hidden improvements that will increase your R.O.I.. You would like to discuss one of your project demands, or directly to discuss a specific need, please feel free to reach out to info@innovartem.be and I would be honored to address your question. Thank you for your attention! Best regards, Cedric
