We understand that when a strategic initiative is identified by a government or corporate organization, whether it be an investment in new technology, a change to operational processes, or an expansion of a program or service, it can be difficult to dedicate resources to the initiative.
Even if you do have resources identified, their core training may not be in planning and managing a complex project that includes:
- Defining requirements
- Creating a detailed breakdown of work that needs to be accomplished
- Establishing a baseline project schedule and budget
- Creating a stakeholder communication and management plan
- Proactively managing project risks and issues that arise
Your most critical projects may only be getting a fraction of the focused attention they need and may take much longer to complete than desired or necessary.
Vantage Point Solution
Our professional project managers know how to work within your culture to provide your organization’s leadership with the on-demand ability to manage implementation of strategic projects.

You may be thinking, “In this economy, I can’t afford an outside project manager”. Consider this: According to an August 2007 survey by Dynamic Markets Ltd., 63-percent of IT projects failed.
In our experience, the seeds of project failure occur within the first few months of the project during the planning phase. Inexperienced project owners or teams are often quick to start implementing without expertly defining project success and a detailed plan for achieving it.
The real question is, “In this economy, can we afford not to have an outside, expert project manager making sure we realize the return on the investment that the project is intended to generate?”
