Programme and Project Consultancy  Poor planning, lack of executive support, disengaged end users, inexperienced Project Managers and loose Governance arrangements are some of the common traits exhibited by failed projects.
It is estimated that 28% of projects fail to meet deadlines, overrun budget or cut scope. This failure rate has seen little improvement over the past 10 years. Real Time has identified the following factors as key to the success of our programmes and projects:
- Meticulous Start-Up
- Strong Governance
- Proactive Risks and Issues management
- Experienced Programme or Project Manager
Consultancy Solutions
We have developed a structured approach to programme and project consultancy. For each assignment, we create a support and challenge environment including a Lead Consultant, Consultancy Director and Account Manager.
We follow our proven five-step methodology consistent with industry standards, including PRINCE2, to which over 75% of our Lead Consultants are accredited. This ensures a structured approach, engaging the executive sponsor and key stakeholders to ensure ‘no surprises’.
We recognise that in some circumstances, even well planned programmes and projects may suffer external challenges. In such cases prompt escalation and independent review is imperative to avoid a ‘runaway’ situation.
Real Time offers:
- Due diligence of Programme or Project start-up
- Independent Programme or Project assurance and audit
