From strategy to success, rbz Group gets you from A to B through Z. Success in business depends upon many factors, not the least of which is the ability to implement new initiatives and strategies. This holds true for managing complex projects or programs of work to develop new products, technologies, processes and systems. However, few businesses can claim strong capability in project management. If the problems are simple why do they keep coming back? Often companies will commit to a new strategic direction, IT system or product only to see the budget blow out, key deadlines missed or, in the worst case, a project fail to deliver. Some of the more common reasons why new initiatives fail include: • Poor definition of business requirements at the commencement of a project • Ineffective planning and control processes used over the life of the project • The environment within the business is not supportive of the project • The project manager lacks experience and expertise in managing complex, large scale projects It's a juggling act. We're here to help. Project Implementation is really about changing the way an organisation operates to increase the value extracted from existing or increased economic resources. Companies have difficulty dealing with change because it is difficult to manage the present while also planning and implementing for the future. Moreover, the human element of cultural change adds complexity - it is imperative that effective communication and buy-in are achieved. The people side of change is often overlooked or underestimated but ultimately the success of a new initiative critically depends upon it. rbz Group works with clients to manage complex projects and develop project management capability.
