PROGRAMME & PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Whether you want to run a programme for transformational change or you need resource or guidance for project implementation, at Change Consulting Scotland we utilise our multi-industry experience to help you achieve your goals.

Lean Project Management involves a structured approach that incorporates principles and concepts of Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma to consistently deliver better project outcomes than traditional approaches. The framework focuses on customer satisfaction and considers value and cost as two sides of the same coin. It is designed to eliminate waste in many project practices, maximising the effectiveness and efficiency of your team, so they are able to focus on high-priority activities that drive your project forward.

Whether you want to run a programme for transformational change or you need resource or guidance for project implementation, we utilise our multi-industry experience to help you achieve your goals. We know there is more to implementing a successful change programme than a Gantt chart and a risks and issues register.  We ground decisions in data to measure progress and improvements, whilst also selecting the most appropriate methodologies to suit the size and needs of your business.

 

keeping it agile

Our methods take on a holistic approach, whether we are working with one team or your whole business, we are focused on improving workflows and eliminating waste. We use our expertise to assess whether traditional ways of working can be enhanced with iterative work flows where the customer can be at the heart of what you do.

execution & success

We stay with you every step of the way through to project completion and help you evaluate the impact the changes have had on your bottom line. We can come in to help at any stage in the project, even if you’ve started and need help getting back on track and we even give you the option to consult with us on an ongoing basis if you need a second opinion.

personalised approach

There are many different techniques that can be used in project management but the methods that work best are the ones that fit into your unique business style. Every business is different so to achieve the best results we will take the time to discuss your approach and look at what techniques will work best for you, and whether that’s Lean Six Sigma.

Global Utilities Supplier
We helped to deliver a new Target Operating Model for this global engineering organisation. Previously the business suffered from missed opportunities, lead-time delays and decreasing customer satisfaction due to a lack of centralised processes across four time-zones. To address the complexity and nuance of the teams and customers, we developed and facilitated a hybrid Change Programme that captured and drove governance, reporting, PMO, stakeholder buy-in and team rhythm.
