Helping you to turn around your failing project by uncovering the issues and implementing a recovery roadmap.

Definition

Peak Performance Technologies’ Project Recovery is focused on helping you get your troubled project back on track. The aim is to deliver the outcomes and benefits needed by the business. Project Recovery addresses the issues underlying a failing program, including:

• • Mistakes made at the start, during definition and setup.
  • Wrong or conflicting directions at critical program junctures.
  • Deviation from the original plan during program delivery.

The techniques can also be applied to changes in program scope or direction due to changed strategic objectives.

Benefits

• • Maximizing ROI- removing delivery obstacles and causes of delay in order to deliver strategic aims while maximizing return on investment and reducing risk.
  • Investing for Success- assurance that the program still contributes to your strategic drivers, will create real benefits for your organization and remains affordable.
  • Reliable Delivery- strengthening the disciplines around project delivery to ensure that, for this program and in future, what gets commissioned gets delivered.
  • A more purposeful organization- ensuring a seamless, systematic flow of proect information; reduce time to market and ensure the whole team is pulling together.

Approach

All project recoveries are unique but common elements of our approach include:

• • Understanding the context- through reviews, interviews and documentation we identify the links - and disconnects - between strategy, stakeholders and project. We seek to understand how the program breaks down into projects, products or releases, and how its benefits are to be realized.
  • Identifying the reality- we analyze specifications and plans, and validate status reports with the teams 'on the ground'. By combining practical experience with best practice techniques we provide a clear view in business-friendly language of what the project status really is and where the key issues are.
  • Mapping the way ahead- we offer realistic options and advise on ways of recovering the project. Where the original intention can no longer be achieved, we can suggest alternatives that protect the organization's investment as much as possible. This would be detailed in the Recovery Plan.
  • Achieving the recovery- we can assist with or lead the recovery of the program. Peak Performance Technologies’ consultants with relevant experience can drive through the Recovery Plan as part of your project team, or as the program's interim leadership, to achieve rapid recovery results.
  • Driving long-term change- our expertise in project, program and portfolio management can be harnessed to ensure not just this program but future programs are more successful. You can mix and match specialist consultancy with on-the-job skills and knowledge transfer to improve your in-house capabilities.

Peak Performance Technologies’ value proposition is based solidly on the practical experience of its people. Choosing our Project Recovery gives you access to our professional knowledge of the full program lifecycle, best practice from around the world, and real life experience of 'what works'.
