answers to your questions
FAQs
What is a health check assessment, and why is it important for my project?
A health check assessment is a quick, in-depth review of your project to identify any potential issues, risks, or inefficiencies. It helps ensure that the project is on track and that you’re addressing any challenges early, minimising disruptions and keeping things aligned with your objectives.
How do you ensure that the governance structure you recommend fits my organisation?
We take the time to understand your organisation’s unique needs and culture. Our governance frameworks are tailored to your specific requirements, ensuring that they are not only effective but also practical and sustainable within your organisational context.
What’s the difference between a light-touch health check and a full maturity and capability assessment?
A light-touch health check is a brief, targeted review that looks at the project’s immediate health, focusing on any red flags or issues that might need addressing. It’s ideal for projects that are progressing but may need a quick course correction. In contrast, a full maturity and capability assessment is a more in-depth evaluation of your project management processes and organisational practices, examining areas such as governance, resource management, and the overall effectiveness of your project management frameworks. It provides a detailed roadmap for long-term improvements in project delivery and organisational capabilities.
How do maturity assessments work, and what do they offer?
Maturity assessments evaluate the current state of your project management practices and help identify areas for improvement. Based on the results, we provide a roadmap to elevate your practices, enabling you to consistently deliver successful projects and optimise processes.
How does the maturity assessment help improve my project management practices?
A maturity assessment evaluates your current project management practices and identifies where improvements can be made. It looks at key areas such as risk management, stakeholder communication, resource allocation, and project governance. Based on the findings, we provide a detailed roadmap for enhancing your project management capabilities, ensuring that your team is equipped with the tools and processes needed to deliver projects more effectively and consistently.
