Independent advice on PPM tools

Selecting, implementing or optimising?

A PPM tool is software designed to be an enterprise-wide, strategic solution which facilitates more effective project portfolio management.

It’s a multi-million turnover industry, full of hundreds of options ranging from free and instantly accessible through to solutions that can cost thousands and take months to configure and implement.

The must-have message from software vendors is a powerful one, and it’s difficult to know which one really is the best solution for your business.

Many organisations who are 12-18 months into their PPM tool journey find themselves in the Trough of Disillusionment – a stage in the maturity and adoption of technology and applications which is part of Gartner’s Hype Cycle.

Don’t be left feeling like all you have is an expensive time-sheeting system, or just another admin-heavy overhead.

Let us help you to reach the Plateau of Productivity.

Note: We do not sell software and are not tied to any specific vendors – our recommendations are based only on what works best for your business.

What sets us apart

We work on an outcomes basis

We don’t need a desk in your office or any equipment - we've got that covered.

Day to day, we will keep in touch regularly using online conferencing and asynchronous collaboration tools. We can provide a face to face option where necessary, to achieve a specific outcome.

So whether you’re keen to minimise your facilities footprint, or you're operating across multiple time zones - you can benefit from our services regardless of your physical location.

We deliver, then we depart

When you engage with us to achieve a particular outcome, we’ll agree with you how this will be delivered using a statement of work with clear milestones, metrics and measures.

Then we’ll work with laser focus to deliver that outcome.

When it’s done we’ll carry out any agreed knowledge transfer - and then we’ll move on.

We are self starters

Once we’ve all agreed what’s needed, we’ll get to work!

We will keep you updated throughout, and you can expect us to put in as much effort as is needed to deliver results.

Because let’s face it - it’s results you need, not more management overhead, right?

And if those results happen sooner than expected, rest assured that we won’t conjure up more work to bill you for.

Get in touch! We are looking forward to getting started.
