PROJECT PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Many of us know the idea, with which our team agrees: project management tells us how to make a project a success, project portfolio management shows us which projects to make a success of.
Selection of the most important initiatives at a strategic level and at the operational levels of an organisation, detailed evaluation of feasibility, the appropriate design of the decision-making mechanism which precedes the project launch, uniform budgeting, resource and risk assessment, and monitoring of projects, the interaction and change management of projects, taking into consideration the organisation’s ability to absorb change on an ongoing basis, is a complex operational model indeed, the design of which needs external professional support.
Our team has experience in the operation of project portfolio management and best practices from the largest firms of the most important sectors.
PROGRAM- AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT
"As an owner, I can tell you that I have worked with several hundred project managers during my professional career, however, I can count those project managers whom I would entrust with a large scale, billion-dollar project on two hands.
The basics of project management are very simple, however, a lifetime of work can be too little to achieve its higher levels. Each project has unique problems and risks, which are influenced by the given professional area, organisational culture and maturity, portfolio management and territorial operational processes, project preparation, applied methodologies, documentation, the quality of the contracts, the competence of internal resources - from the project’s sponsor to its professional colleagues, the effectiveness of the Governing Board, stakeholder attitudes, the aptitude of external partners and suppliers, internal change management processes, changes in the market environment and whether provision of the appropriate budget and resources will be continuous.
Successful leadership requires highly complex professional competences, personal development and soft skills, some of which are, in my opinion, given (you either have them, or you don’t), others can be developed with hard work. Everyone is an expert at football, but how many of us would stand up to the challenges of even a third division team captain? If you need real expertise, our team is here for you and our experience is at our clients’ disposal."

QUALITY ASSURANCE
Throughout our professional careers, we have seen many projects fail. Besides appropriate project management, chances of success can be greatly increased if an independent quality assurance officer is positioned to supervise professional and administrative processes.
Our team of experts works in close cooperation with project management to create regular reports for the Sponsor and the Project Steering Committee, making suggestions for improvement of the operational processes of the project, indicating and developing solutions to risks that arise, looking through and evaluating prepared documentation, in short, quality assurance will do their best to ensure that project goals are achieved.
