It can be difficult to maintain good planning practices alongside increased pressure for momentum and rapid, tangible execution results, amidst constant change and competitive pressures. Complex projects, in complex environments, are no longer the exception, but the most common scenario we face. This means that we cannot approach them in the same way we used to.
The first opportunity to try a “better way” is in the preparation and planning stage. Unfortunately, teams may not be given the budget, permission, or encouragement to spend time on the types of planning and preparation that they should. The consequences of lack of in-depth planning, at best, are headaches and issues to resolve, at worst budget, schedule and expectation breakdowns, disappointing sponsors, staff and customers alike.
Our Readiness Assurance© process combines the best of Project Management, Change Management and Process Design, and brings them together into a robust preparation discipline. This provides a fast and efficient evaluation and health check with assessment of impacts, the environment, and stakeholders wrapped in a focus on risk management.
Your organization’s success is dependent upon strategic, often transformational change, on a frequent basis. These changes require a significant capital expense and impact your people and other assets in new and more interesting ways.

Readiness
Ensuring the vision, objectives, people, tasks and timeline are all aligned to begin the project.
Idea to Realization
Have you ever had an important internal strategic initiative or great business idea that was stalled in moving from design phase or idea to reality?
Competing Projects
Have you ever felt the pressure of leading one critical project and you learn that you need to handle another equally pressing project that’s going to overwhelm your already stretched time and resources?
Technology Changes
This includes seeking and bringing in a new system, transitioning to a better, similar system, upgrading features and renewing contracts.
