More organizations realize that deploying proper
project management principles is a key to success!
SynergySynQ works with you to set up your
organization to deploy a projectized way of working. Activities can
cover creating an inventory of wants and needs, alignment with the
strategic objectives, design\development\deployment of
processes and procedures as well as setting up your organization to
efficiently and effectively run programmes, portfolio and
projects.
WorkShops
The majority of a project managers time (80+ %)
is spend on communication. Effective and efficient workshops can
greatly contribute to project success.
SynergySynQ delivers workshops for many stages in
a project, varying from scoping, decision making until running
lessons learned sessions.
Establishing a
Project Management Infrastructure
The success of a project is determined by many
factors. Those include of course executive support, a good project
manager, defined scope etc. However, a good infrastructure will
help making things easier. Infrastructure covers processes and
tools and techniques used.
ExperientialProjectManagement
SynergySynQ is a firm believer in learning by
doing and has 2 different experiential activities to let teams
experience project management.
Both activities can be used for team building,
bring project management to live and highlight principles.
PMDome
PMDOME
is an amazing 1-3 day experiential activity where participants
experience project management according to the 44 processes defined
in PMI's PMBOK 3rd edition. All the 5 process groups will need to
be used in order to successfully complete the project.
The
main deliverable produced by each team is a structure called
Geodesic Dome, built from old newspapers, wh-ch must be planned,
executed and controlled in real time using PMI® framework. As
acceptance criteria, the Dome has to be strong enough to stand with
the PMBOK® on top of it (work should support
PMBOK®literally!).
This
event can be run as public or in house for 12- 44
People
LinqSynQ
It is
a modular build up program that can serve/support a number of
objectives, for example:
-
Teambuilding
- Major
project preparation
-
Project/process simulation
- Creating
project management knowledge
- Creating
team awareness of different roles and positions in projects from a
project management point of view. For example sponsor, client,
project manager, team leader, etc.
It
touches on all 9 knowledge areas and the 44 processes. It can be
slightly modified to support a PRINCE2 approach as well. The
modular build up means that we can bring in more modules to create
complexity depending on the needs/objectives of the exercise.
Typically the workshop can last from ½ day to 3 days for a
standard approach.
TeamBuilding
A peak performing team is critical in the
execution of programmes and projects.
SynergySynQ has a number of workshops and
activities available that cover the area of creating high
performing teams. Varying from short sessions to multi week
engagements.
ProjectRecovery
Despite all preparation and efforts, it happens
that projects are not going well. Delays, overruns, conflicts,
etc.
SynergySynQ has developed a systematic approach
to get the project back on track. We look at both the hard PM
processes as well as the human factor.
Where possible, we try to keep the original team
together and solve the causes of the deviations rather then just
steaming ahead.
