Project Management

The phenomena that describe the current state and challenges of the manufacturing industry have one thing in common: They deal with the status of change and the attempt to remain increasingly efficient and yet flexible at the same time. The resulting demands on managers and staff are often a boon – projects attack the content of specialised areas such as production, logistics or purchasing. However, fundamental improvements are often only achieved when the organisational structure is also changed, processes are adapted and rules of cooperation are redefined accordingly. We offer professional support for these far-reaching changes so that they have a long-term effect.

Many companies have defined their project management processes, mostly based on existing methodological sets such as PMIs PMBOK, IPMA, Prince2 and SAFe etc. In theory, the entire endeavour in project-oriented companies is to largely adhere to these specifications and processes. With the distance from the working level, the issue is not given the necessary importance. The committed project management then experiences its Waterloo in a high-ranking decision-making body, caused by a lack of understanding on the part of the questioning managers. In the case of doubt, decisions are made “Against the accused”, the project is interrupted and unplannable delays occur. The common view of the tasks in the project team, their capacity and the changed understanding of your management team leads directly to an intensification of the internal cooperation and, therefore, to more efficient project processing.

The progress data obtained from this provides a continual status overview of the open issues, including necessary recommendations for action in the event of variations, trend analyses and resource planning. These form the framework for control of the project by the project management and also the basis for an adequate PM dashboard as reporting for the management. This structured support of your project initiatives forms the basis for sustainable implementation measures and is also gladly used by clients following completion of the consultancy assignment. For us, this is repeated confirmation of the trust placed in our methodology and tools in the field of complexity reduction in challenging project landscapes.
