Information technology and professional
service executives: are you struggling to get dozens of
projects done while effectively managing your daily work load?
You can get more projects done without endangering
your core services.
Do you seem to have more projects in progress than you can
handle without sacrificing your core business? Does your
business have several projects going simultaneously and even though
you know they are all connected you can't "see" how
and you are not realizing the business value demanded? Does your
organization use MS Project or other tools and you are not getting
all you can from them? Does your business seem to have a different
approach for every new project? When you start a new project do you
have a hard time allocating your scarce resources without pulling
them off other projects and delaying the business benefit you
desperately need?
Are you an information technology professional --
professional services executive, non-profit leader, event planner,
small business owner, or an independent consultant, etc. -- who
wants to take on more projects or a large project but you are
struggling with getting your projects launched effectively without
sacrificing yourself, your team, or your regular work load?
We help mid-size organizations get twice as many projects done in
half the time without neglecting their everyday work.
Do you love what you do but find it a real chore to do the
extra tasks imposed by various projects? And have you found that
just following the advice in project management books or seminars
has worked less than you had hoped? Do you find yourself finishing
up your "real" job at night and on weekends because special projects
take up your whole workday?
Managing a project shouldn't be a struggle. Managing a
project should be just as easy and fun as performing your normal job
duties. Of course, you'll find it a lot more enjoyable and rewarding
if your project activities give your organization more bottom line
results rather than just more work. And your team will be a lot more
enthusiastic if most of those projects actually make work more
interesting while allowing you to actually get more done in your day
instead of giving you more to do. Sound impossible? It's not.
Successful, effortless project management starts with having a
simple framework in which to process authorized projects.
Because we treat projects as a different way of doing our work we
develop two distinct organizational
practices that pull teams between doing their "real" job and doing
project work. No matter what project management techniques or
strategies we apply (even if they're the right ones), we usually
fall flat on our faces because we have the wrong "Project Mindset."
Successful project management starts with a mindset that
understands how projects fit into your organizational structure and
culture. Then it's a matter of working with the fundamental
principles of project management. We call these principles the
Framework and the Methodologies. The Framework adapts to your
organizational structure and the Methodologies incorporate your
culture without sacrificing project management best practices.
The team at My Project Partner has been managing real projects
within organizations with vastly different cultures and structures
