The more mature your company is in terms of leadership and in terms of project management the easier it is for you as a project manager to build up systems, processes, develop a methodology and introduce a project management office.
It is important to assess the maturity first. Companies like ACTS Integration Ltd. do project management maturity assessments, where they analyze a number of things:
- Elaborate assessments in both management and the PM Teams
- OPM3 used as a guide
- Testing PM knowledge
- Assessing Leadership Maturity
- Agile Mindset both in the project teams and in Senior Management
- Solidity of processes and templates
- Level of strategic alignment
The consultant tailors the actual assessment to your needs. This will give you a clear analysis of your current status. From there the consultant identifies training needs, defines future goals and drafts a path for them.
Consultants will work with you to tailor to your Needs
While doing the assessment the consultant will interact with your team and get to know them better. First the consultant together with the client discusses & documents requirements and goals. At the same time they will identify skills, strengths and gaps during the actual assessment. The assessments are a series of workshops, actual questionnaires, questions on sample scenarios etc. The result will then be documented together with the requirements & goals and a suggested way forward will be formulated. Then you the consultant formulates clear training needs and recommendations and a suggested approach for a consultancy. From this recommendation the company can the decide on the tailored solution that fits their priorities and their budget.
Why Consultancy?
A consultant usually has at least 15 years solid experience and has worked with many companies. Hence they can draw on their experience. They also have an outside view and may identify shortcomings you can not identify from the inside.
Getting such an outside guidance and recommendation from an experienced consultant will help you avoid mistakes you would otherwise make.
This kind of helping hand will help you grow and mature faster and you will have better results sooner. Choosing a well experienced consultant for such an exercise will also safe you money and headache and is an investment well worth it.
