Engage me as a supporter of your projects for your challenge:

_ A project is stuck and does not achieve the expected results

I analyze the situation in a structured manner and generate recommendations for action. We evaluate these together in terms of cost/benefit and prioritize them. I then provide support during implementation.

I am happy to use tasks in Jira, for example, for the recommendations for action, which are controlled by a board.

_ The project team is overloaded and full of conflicts

After individual interviews with the project team, I analyze the strengths and weaknesses. If necessary, I recommend a new organizational form and roles and/or revise these together with the team.

I establish simple team meetings with practicable dashboards and resolve one conflict after another (conflicts of objectives, role conflicts, resource conflicts, assessment conflicts, relationship conflicts). I use the conflict canvas I developed for this purpose, for example.

_ Goals and the plan are lost

I am a big fan of using simple methods to introduce goal orientation throughout the project. I like to use the OKR method for this, as well as target hierarchies and simple key figures.

Of course, I also provide support in getting a grip on the big issue of project planning, whether without a tool or with Jira or MS Project. After years of experience in project management, I have come to realize that textbook planning is well-intentioned, but it's the feasibility that counts. Project planning must be designed in such a way that it can be worked with and it must be results-oriented.

_ Find a good project manager

As program/project manager, I can provide support until you have identified and released a high-potential candidate internally or have been able to hire someone.

The hopefully most difficult phase is then already behind you. I then accompany the new employee during onboarding to ensure a very good start to the project.

_ Your project management is in its infancy

I analyze the existing maturity and recommend priorities to structure, improve and develop the project management processes.

I bring a number of ready-made and proven processes with me, so that a quick process design with a guideline can be carried out quickly. We then adapt, review, approve and train this together. The processes are based on the IPMA standard, if desired.

_ Major risks come as a surprise

I am an expert in optimizing risk management in projects. The basis of my work is the risk policy to be created or revised with the implementation of real best practices.

In addition, there are important aspects such as the role of the risk owner, risk directors, simple lessons learned and a focus on controllable results and appropriate measures.

_ Building fences instead of chasing chickens

Establishing professional processes in parallel with the execution of projects is often a Herculean task. This is exactly where I provide support. I pick up loose ends, look at existing drafts, observe the actual work, improve it and document it.

_ Putting the strategy into action

I use project management methods to implement your carefully crafted corporate strategy. I design an internal project landscape for your company so that you can develop in a goal-oriented and sustainable manner. You gain transparency about the status and priorities of your internal projects and how they effectively contribute to the success of your company.

_ Sustainably improve the (financial) result

I work with you to design a targeted results improvement program based on my IPMA Project Management Award-winning approach.

_ Unlock the potential of agile working

Everyone around you is demanding that you work in an agile way. You have already tried to implement some measures. However, you don't really feel any improvement.

_my approach

My tried and tested approach for a consulting mandate is: while I use my neutral perspective to derive structured recommendations for action and then implement these with you, I also start providing operational support straight away. There are usually issues where I can help immediately.

The path to successfully implementing recommendations for action involves the steps shown below:

Interviews / situation analysis

I take the time and use my outside perspective to create a situation analysis. With the help of structured individual interviews, I determine the strengths and weaknesses in the project. I base this on the competence elements and the corresponding IPMA competence indicators. Once I have gained as complete a picture as possible, I summarize my findings in writing and recommend measures.

Prioritized recommendations for action

These are pre-sorted by me according to cost/benefit and are then discussed with the client. The result is a prioritized list of recommended actions. I am happy to incorporate these into a backlog in order to implement Kanban or Scrum.

Implementation

I myself take responsibility for implementing the measures together with the project team members and the customer organization. The status is monitored regularly.

Interim status and anchoring

After a defined period of time, I carry out a major interim status/review where the current and remaining recommendations for action are reassessed. The results generated are anchored in the organization (e.g. through standards/guidelines, training) in such a way that they can be continued without me.

Conclusion

The mandate ends with a final report that reflects the results based on the situation analysis.
