Utilizing the project management services of Brosseau Consulting Associates frees up your management staff to operate your business and brings a level of specialized project management expertise to your team that is often not available internally. We provide project planning, project leadership and clear and concise communication that drives projects to a successful conclusion. Using a qualified and experienced project manager to lead an initiative minimizes the occurrence of negative project experiences such as delayed project kickoffs, unclear scope and goals, missed milestones, overspending and ambiguous reporting. We utilize a combination of on-site and remote project management to increase effectiveness and cost efficiency. We bring your project in on time and on budget. Examples of project areas we specialize in are:
Establishing a Project Management Office: It is common to have a seemingly unlimited number of projects competing for a limited amount of resources. This often results in project inertia, where many projects are started but few are completed, or few projects are undertaken due to an inability to prioritize. We can structure and lead a Project Management Office (PMO) that includes project prioritization and resource allocation, a consistent monitoring process for in-process and future projects, and project management to completion. Once established, a PMO can often be managed on a part-time basis.
Cost Reduction and Operational Efficiencies Programs: Companies frequently spend more money than necessary to run their operations. We have developed cost reduction and operational efficiencies programs that create in annual, recurring savings. These programs generally rely on knowledge embedded within the company and, in many cases, implementation is surprisingly simple.
Large Growth Initiatives: Large growth initiatives have many moving pieces and require expertise from throughout the business to ensure success. When such an opportunity exists, it is a complex process that requires consistent and continual communication. Pursuing these activities with only your current team may distract that team from maintaining a high quality, existing, book of business. Working with your Business Development, Operations, Human Resources and Finance Teams, we convert our experience in managing these initiatives into a growth opportunity for your company.
Systems Implementations: Technology upgrades and implementations are often difficult for operators to manage. They generally do not have the expertise, interest or time needed. We have successfully acted as the middleman between Information Technology and Operations to drive these technology initiatives. Defining the business needs and engaging in consistent and knowledgeable communication between all parties involved are two of the critical drivers of a successful implementation.
