Sometimes things just do not work out as we would like, not matter how much meticulous effort has been invested in planning and preparing for it.
Portfolio, Programme and Project deliveries are no different, not everything turns out to be a roaring success, but how effective you are at dealing with the situation once you recognise the deviation is key.
We commonly see initiatives rumbling along even though it is widely accepted that they will miss their projected benefits, dates and budgetary estimates. Everyone knows it and everyone talks about it, so why is no action taken?
If it was your own money, would you continue to sink money into something that you know would not give you the return you wanted?
Pride, Fear and Paralysis often cloud even the greatest leaders in key moments and this is where Metavallo can support, we can provide the independent, impartial input that allows executive leadership to the make the right decision for the organisation.
We are experts in providing short, timely reviews of initiatives to understand the original aims, where the likely deviation has occurred and a series of recommended paths forward.
Often we have found the best course of action is to simply stop to minimise the financial burden but there was a need that kicked off the initiative to begin with so it is important that the brakes are not locked on without understanding the next steps beyond this action to carry the momentum forward.
