Assessment
SPA takes a deep dive with you into your current business operations. We’ll baseline the current state of project and portfolio management, document processes, and review existing documentation.
Gap Analysis
SPA will compare your operations to recommended practices, industry standards, and success models we’ve developed and put in-place for other clients. We’ll look at what the organization is trying to accomplish, and identify key areas that may be constraining your ability to efficiently execute.
Remediation Plan
SPA adds value by recommending specific actions designed to strengthen your ability to deliver projects that align to strategy. The remediation plan is a directional roadmap that serves as a starting point for putting the solution set in-place.
Implementation
The assessment can do a great job of telling us what needs to be done. But putting it in-place is entirely another matter. It’s much more challenging and takes a special blend of teamwork, drive, interpersonal skills, technical expertise, organizational change management and more to create an environment that supports strategy-driven operations on an ongoing basis. It’s more than just being able to create and execute an implementation plan that completes key initiatives. We want to be sure that improvements are being applied, that they add value, and that we measure and communicate incremental improvements to others. To that end, SPA Implementation provides context so we know why we’re doing what we are, who is doing what, and where we’re headed. Then we help create sustainability by designing process improvements, providing templates and recommending practices that enable us to maintain those improvements over time.
