Capabilities
Southeast Consulting's
extensive project management methodology for information technology
projects has been developed and refined by our senior staff professionals
who have significant and
varied experience managing complex business and information technology
projects. The concepts formalized within our Project Management
Methodology are based on existing and proven SCI engagement
practices. These practice tools, when combined with the experience
base of our senior project managers and our dedication to our clients'
success provide a strong winning combination and a primary reason why
successful organizations repeatedly choose SCI to assist
them with their project management needs.
A brief overview and
partial listing of our project management consulting services include the
following elements:
Project Management Methodology -
SCI’s
goal is to build durable long lasting relationships with our clients by
delivering World-Class Consulting services that are of a consistently
superior quality. Our strategic
objectives require that we meet or exceed our clients’ expectations as an
order of business. Our Information Technology Project Management methodology
provides one resource for accomplishing this important goal.
By outlining a comprehensive, yet flexible, framework for managing
information technology projects, we are more strongly positioned to assist our
clients in the establishment of a project management approach that focuses on
the quality aspects of information technology projects.
Complex Project Management
Support - By outlining a thorough, yet flexible, framework
for managing complex projects, we are strongly positioned to assist our
clients in the establishment of a project management approach that focuses
on the quality and delivery aspects of complex projects. Our senior managers
and directors can provide the project management focus needed for more
complex technology projects requiring seasoned management where an
understanding of your users’ motivation is paramount to success.
Large-Scale Project Management
Services - Large-scale projects
contain significant elements of risks, uncertainties, liabilities and
vulnerabilities that may cause the project to deviate from your defined
plan. Every large-scale project
carries these risk factors and a high probability that progress will deviate
from management’s plan at some point in the project lifecycle. Risk in a project environment cannot be totally eliminated.
However, SCI’s senior project managers are uniquely
qualified to assist your organization in reducing the risks of your
large-scale projects to an acceptable level.
Runaway Systems Project
Management - SCI
has a number of specialist professionals who are skilled in runaway
systems control and management. Our runaway systems consultants
utilize a number of focused methods and tools to address the dangers of a
major failure due to inadequate project management. Several components included within our
runaway Systems
methodology include the following:
• Prevention - these
techniques may be applied to any project to ensure that appropriate steps are
taken to guard against a runaway project
• Assessment - a review
of current practices to identify critical problems that have arisen while
recommending ways in which project constraints can be addressed before
significant damage occur
• Turnaround - where a
project has major problems and maybe 2-3 times over budget and significantly
past the original scheduled completion date, striking actions are initiated to
regain and redirect the project.
Process
Re-engineering - Our seasoned consulting professionals are
accomplished in using facilitated workshops in the development of creative,
pragmatic designs of future business processes. Our Process Redesign
services represent a vital part of our Project Management and Process
Re-engineering consulting services.
Process Improvement -
SCIspecialists are highly skilled in process-oriented
method improvements designed to generate enhancements in an
organization’s performance through analysis and realignment of
existing business processes. We pride ourselves in accomplishing these
objectives without putting our clients’ organization through the
upheaval normally associated with more radical change programs, such
as BPR. Our transformation initiatives frequently involve adopting new
lines of business or expanding existing business lines into new
geographic markets.
Staff Augmentation - Many
of SCI's consulting professional staff are PMI certified. We
have the experience, skill sets and resources to assist you staff your
large-scale and complex business and information technology projects.
Change Management -
Our
change management consulting services focus on ensuring that our
clients’ management and employees are committed, and feel encouraged
to contribute to the success of a business transformation or process
improvement programs. An SCI orchestrated
change management program typically includes the innovative
radical redesign of an organization’s business processes along with
the implementation of the agreed upon changes. Since business transformation and comprehensive BPR programs
entail dramatic changes to an organization’s processes, technology,
human resources, physical facilities and policies, our clients
frequently draw heavily upon our extensive skills in the management of
strategic organizational change.
