TCQ TRIANGLE helps client organisations' for the sustainable delivery of added value to all their key stakeholders by deploying only top level team members using a rapid solutions development approach which allows us to build unique, customized solutions that address business problems directly.

Organizational Project Management Maturity Assessment

An excellent first step is to conduct an Organisational Project Management Maturity Assessment which provides your company a benchmark of what its current maturity is, where its project management strengths and weaknesses are, and indicates which areas need to improve. It provides direction and confidence that the right processes and training are developed and implemented to improve project delivery performance. We use the international PMI© Standard “Organisation Project Management Maturity Model – OPM3” based on the PMI© 9 areas of the PM Body of Knowledge”.

Specific maturity assessment benefits are:

• Organisational baseline assessment that will serve as a basis for benchmarking your organisation and indicate where future capability improvements in project management and benefits realisation can be made.

• Organisations will understand their Project Management Maturity level from an overall and participating business perspective. This assessment can then be compared to a desired maturity level.

• Organisational strength and weakness in project and benefits management are identified, contributing to the identification of areas that need improvement in terms of processes and systems.

• The identification of areas where skills need to be improved, resulting in targeted competency building training.

• As the process is non-project specific, delivery problems surface through during interviews.

• The assessment enables the development of a plan to improve delivery of project value to the organisation.

• Staff being able to suggest improvements to the existing process and systems, thus encouraging buy-in to future improvements. 

Project Management Competency Assessment

Organisations often train staff in project management by placing them on public training courses or in-house delivered courses. Depending on the experience and product offerings of the providers, attendees are trained following a course outline which is either generic for public consumption or customised for in-house training. This training assists awareness building and general skills in project management, but does not necessarily target specific areas where staff may have gaps in competency. These gaps may be critical areas of effective project delivery.

We have developed competency assessment tools for project managers. We can prepare an individual Project Manager Competency Assessment that will highlight areas of weakness and areas of strength in current competency. Each individual will obtain a report on their current competency and a recommendation on areas to improve knowledge and skills. A re-assessment can be undertaken after a period of self-development to ensure that progress has been achieved and PM competency improved. TCQ TRIANGLE in conjunction with the individual and the organisation’s development group will prepare an individual programme to facilitate the areas for improvement. 

Strategy Deployment

Senior Management provides strategic direction for the organisation, and the business delivers the strategy via both ongoing business and a portfolio of change projects. The challenge organisations face is the effective deployment of their strategies.

TCQ TRIANGLE has experience, knowledge and skills to enable strategic deployment via a portfolio of projects using the concept of value management. Supporting this approach is a prioritisation and selection technique that aligns projects to business goals.

We have developed a Strategic Journey Mapping method that complements the prioritisation technique and produces a map of what right things must unfold in which relationship to each other.

Strategic assumptions, risks, and performance forms part of the Strategy Journey Mapping approach. Monitoring and control of the map is undertaken using MxP support tools.

Senior management is now able to provide a line of sight for the strategy and measure achievement on-going.  

PMO Setup and Development

Project or Programme Management Offices within medium to large organisations are becoming the norm in business. In order to maintain oversight of a vast number of projects organisations are increasingly creating a centralised Project Management Office (PMO). PMOs can consist of a Centre of Excellence to a comprehensive Programme Office and, as maturity in delivering strategic objectives through programmes and projects increases, a Value Office.

These offices provide a range of services from custodianship of processes, systems, mentoring/coaching, tools and techniques, to project and programme management services. Benefits management and monitoring can also be a key function of your Programme Management Office.

If you are considering the establishment of, or in the process of establishing a Project or Programme Management Office, we have appropriate experience in establishing small to large PMOs. If you already have a PMO and wish to increase the value it adds to overall project delivery, we can review PMO performance and assist in implementing a set of recommendations to improve performance.  

Benefits Management

From business case promises to delivery of benefits – let us assist you in planning, monitoring and realise these benefits.

Our approach to Benefits Management includes

• Identification of business case benefits, contribution to business and strategic objectives, key performance indicators and stakeholders

• Establishing a benefits management methodology, structure, roles and responsibilities

• Creating benefits maps that describe what capabilities are essential, which business changes are required, and how business benefits will be achieved

• Planning and managing the benefits, including their descriptors and measures, ownership and risks

• Linkages to strategic programmes, organisational impact, interdependencies with other benefits and risks

• Deployment of benefits management across the organisation and preparing the processes and system to bed-in the change required for successful benefits management

• Reporting benefits to key stakeholders and ensuring that the both the project and benefits are still on course.  

Programme and Project Methodology Implementation

TCQ TRIANGLE can assist in developing or adapting a Project Management Methodology and deploying it in such a way that it gains momentum and buy-in from practitioners. Processes that are consistently applied, which are appropriate for the organisation improve project delivery and reduce the risk of failure.

TCQ TRIANGLE can assist to develop and deliver the Business Focused Project Management approach. This methodology is the application of project management tools and techniques to projects that deliver against strategies in an effective manner i.e. management by project. We implement methodologies using our proprietary Model and the Objective Directed Project Management process, including portfolio management and the underpinning project prioritisation and selection.

Programme and Project Management Health Check

Complex and mission critical programmes and projects must deliver business value to achieve business objectives. Senior management often require an assessment ht these initiatives are on track to deliver benefits.

TCQ TRIANGLE offers an independent check on current projects and programmes. We can review benefits, costs, deliverables, teamwork, quality, risk and issues management, reporting and providing a comprehensive action plan for improvement to the project or programme.

TCQ TRIANGLE can also build capability in your organisation to undertake proactive non-threatening health checks for the benefit of the project sponsor and project manager. 

Risk Management

Risk management is an essential approach that all well managed organisations value and exercise.

TCQ TRIANGLE approach is based on international risk management standards and is supported by our proprietary tool. The standard applies to both on-going business and projects.

Forecast and effectively manage your risks at business and project level by modeling your business performance and building appropriate mitigation strategies.

Risk profile is constantly updated as events occur such as changes in the environment, the project portfolio, and as new business trends become apparent.
