Initiative Delivery Leadership
Get your critical initiatives started right:
-
We advise you on initiative structure, from adequate to optimal (i.e., how to maximize the chances of success).
-
We start and lead the initiative for you, and in parallel help build your in-house delivery team’s bench strength:
-
We coach your team in our highly effective methods, ramping them up to take charge and reach self-sufficiency.
-
-
We reduce our involvement in phases after 3-6 months, cost effectively and once it’s running smoothly:
-
We gradually transfer initiative leadership to your in-house staff – and remain available for guidance afterward.
-
Optionally, we can lead all the way to initiative closure, and/or join midstream to help right the ship.
-
Your large, complex initiatives will always benefit from experience-driven, methodology-agnostic, sensible leadership – regardless of what the role is called or what delivery techniques are used.
We call the role “Initiative Delivery Lead”:
-
Partly because “Project” or “Program Manager” don’t always fit exactly – but admittedly also because those labels are (undeservedly) out of fashion.
Misconception:
“But the Project/Program Manager roles aren’t needed anymore!”
-
“Maybe” – that is, for straightforward deliveries using agile and product-oriented delivery (POD), with well-resourced, self-managing teams, flexible timelines, predictable burn rates, and using one homogenous methodology.
-
But an Initiative Delivery Lead remains crucial on initiatives that:
-
Involve multiple organizations (internal or vendor), especially when the selection of some remains uncertain;
-
Bring a blend of methodologies, unaligned across organizations: Traditional Waterfall, Agile, POD, Hybrid;
Face constrained timelines and budgets.
-
