Helping Your Projects Succeed !
Approach According to research done by the Standish Group the top three significant reasons for project success or failure involve the clear statement of requirements, identification and participation of stakeholders, in particular end-users, and sufficient executive support. They can make the difference between a project that is delivered on time and within budget and costly overruns or even project cancellations.
Based on these findings Olicana Consulting has developed a threefold approach to improving your project management practice:
I train and coach project managers in their discipline to enable them to
do a better job in scoping, planning, controlling and delivering projects.
I carefully plan and facilitate sessions with relevant stakeholders to
enable project teams to truly understand the requirements of their projects.
I help you understand your organizational environment and proactively plan
for adoption of the changes among all relevant stakeholders.
Our Principles:
I do not believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach. I will work very
carefully with you to customize my services to your needs, whether it is a
suite of training interventions or a facilitated workshop.
I subscribe to industry standards when it comes to project management or
facilitation. My approach is firmly based on the guidelines laid down by the
Project Management Institute (PMI) and the International Association of
Facilitators (IAF). I am both a certified PMP and a CPF.
I hold myself to a professional code of ethics. I will not offer a
quick-fix for money, I will step aside if I feel I cannot help you and I will
push back if I feel you are making decisions that will hurt your objectives
and business interests.
