Our work method in governance and project management
1- Act on the root of the problems
From its initiation, a project’s organization is crucial to ensure success. However, it takes real skill and experience to put a finger on the real underlying the problems that jeopardize projects and then act quickly to identify and implement effective mitigating measures.
2- Detect and correct
One of the keys to effective management is to control quality. It is essential to use key performance indicators (KPI’s) to detect emerging trends and act quickly to correct the situation. Using appropriate indicators makes it possible to quickly identify mitigative measures, take corrective action and ensure their effectiveness.
Managing a project inefficiently affects team morale, undermines upper management’s confidence that the project will deliver actuel results, extends project schedule and becomes an overall major risk factor.
3- Maximize efficiency
Strategia Conseil’s unique approach in project planning and implementation consists of deploying the right resources at the right time in the right place and taking the right actions at the right time. This ensures that the projects are delivered on time, despite unexpected situations that arise, while limiting the impacts on your day-to-day operations.
4- Prioritize communication
We put communication at the heart of management. Our experts are inspired by best practices in management to develop and deploy communication mecanisms adapted to the project and to your organizational structure et culture.
