Program Health Check

Evaluate project health — scope, budget, practices, teamwork, and more — and identify opportunities to improve the chances for success

Driver

Is your transformation program behind or over budget? Does the story keep changing when you ask, “how’re we doing?” Whether you’re two years into an ERP implementation or two months into a reorganization, if you have a sense that something is off, it’s worth taking a step back to understand more fully.

We can provide an objective perspective, backed up by decades of experience in the space, to help you, your team, and any partners re-align the program for success.

Outcome

We’ll provide a holistic assessment of the current program. We’ll deliver a prioritized list of recommendations with an associated plan to address and mitigate any challenges.

Many of the outputs of this effort will depend on your specific needs (see below for more detailed examples). The purpose of each and every one will be increasing program effectiveness and improving the likelihood of on-time, on-budget execution and program delivery.

Approach

Running a successful project or program can become more challenging than it originally seemed. With years of experience in driving large-scale projects and programs, FlexPoint can assess your existing program and deliver tactical recommendations to ensure the objectives are met.

We’ll work with you to tailor a health check approach and set of deliverables that meet your needs. Here are some examples of what has worked well:

If your program is behind: FlexPoint can help you get your program back on track, by implementing strategies to increase efficiency and/or adjusting the program management approach and tactics to drive time savings.

If you program is over budget: We will identify the sources of expense losses as well as proactively identify potential future areas where there may be expense overruns.

Both timeline and budget challenges tend to point toward how the work is done, so we’ll talk with you about delivery methodologies, cadences, coordination across teams, and more.

If the story keeps changing: We know it’s frustrating when various updates tell a different story, making it challenging to get a good pulse on progress. We’ll get to the bottom of the story, conducting a thorough investigation of what we see and hear. Ultimately, we’ll identify sources of misalignment and work with you to craft a plan to remediate them.

If your program is experiencing internal issues: Whether it’s related to team dynamics, program approach and framework, or comms and change management, FlexPoint’s comprehensive assessment will identify opportunities to resolve internal issues that put the program at risk.

 If your program lacks structure: Our extensive experience and deep expertise in program management allows us to provide actionable recommendations that add necessary rigor to a program (without making it a science project!) and allow for proactive identification and resolution of potential gaps.
