In this blog post Change Specialists CEO John Dean outlines his 5 tips for turning around a project in need of recovery,
In the dynamic world of business, projects and programmes sometimes lose their focus. When this happens, swift and strategic intervention is required to realign to achieve desired outcomes.
Conduct a Thorough Diagnostic Assessment
Start with a comprehensive diagnostic assessment to understand the project’s current status and
identify key issues and risks. Involve all stakeholders to ensure a holistic view.
Re-establish Clear Objectives and Milestones
Clarify, review and, where appropriate, redefine project objectives and milestones ensuring that they are realistic, achievable, and aligned with organisational strategic goals. This provides a clear roadmap and helps measure progress effectively.
Strengthen Leadership
Enhance leadership frameworks to ensure clear accountability and decision making authority. Effective leadership can inspire a team, streamline processes, and foster a culture of accountability.
Enhance Communication and Stakeholder Engagement
Open, transparent communication is vital.
Ensure stakeholders receive regular updates in order to build trust and ensure everyone works towards the same goals.
Implement Rigorous Delivery Assurance
Establish delivery assurance mechanisms to monitor progress, manage risks, and ensure quality. Regular audits, progress reviews, and risk assessments are essential to maintain project health and deliver on promises.
