What are we trying to achieve?

Clear objectives and goals drive all future project decisions. If unclear projects can waste time debating how to progress when issues arise (and they will)

Scope changes are a contractors best friend.

Scope changes are the number one reasons projects head off course. The TEEMS approach helps to identify potential changes early, manage them and mitigate their impact.

 

Contracting Strategy

Hope Strategy

Hope is NOT a strategy.

Successful projects all have one thing in common. Once issues, risks or opportunities are identified actions are implement. At the time these actions can hurt but hoping for the best is why half of projects fail to deliver there desired business outcomes.
