Project Coaching is about:
 |
Helping the
Project Team
|
|
To have
clear direction and support through excellent communication,
openness and trust, flexibility, understanding, listening, feedback,
encouragement |
|
|
To develop
a focused Project Plan, based on common objectives / targets, Value
and Risk Studies |
|
|
To develop
Value Improvement techniques at all stages of the Project directed towards a Lean and Cost
Effective Project, and to mitigate Risk through effective Risk
Management techniques |
|
|
To find
ways of eliminating non-Value Added activities |
|
|
To have
effective resources through promoting commitment, and knowing how to
deal with excuses and resistance etc. |
|
|
To ensure
successful Project completion, understanding what it means to be
successful, and what it means not to succeed |
|
|
To have in
place at all times an action plan to solve problems and to achieve
performance, ensuring that personal commitment is maintained at all
times. |
|
For
best effect, these need
to be introduced to a Project from the very earliest stages. |
|
Example:
|
|
Ongoing
support to a fully Integrated Project Team and Supply Chain from the
start to finish of a large Highway Project through the leading of:
|
|
Partnering
and Cascading Workshops |
|
|
Value and
Risk Studies including Whole Life Costing at various stages of the
Project |
|
|
Design
detailing and Value Engineering Reviews, sorting out issues which are
inevitably of a financial nature |
|
|
Contract
Requirement Reviews - establishing whether what the contract asks for
has been interpreted correctly by all, and is really what the Client
wants |
|
|
Management
Reviews to determine that the Project Management set up matches the
needs of the Project |
|
|
Testing and
Inspection Reviews, distinguishing between what the management thinks
is happening and what is really happening |
|
|
Regular
reviews monitoring that value is being added and that unnecessary cost
is being avoided |
|
|
Focusing
(through
Project Proving) on how to achieve a smooth handover to the
Owner of the Project. |
