Strategic Project Control Method              

Introduction

Major IT projects require high expenditures. As long as the added value realized is worth it, there is no problem. But in reality the value of these investments is often not measured.

Acquiring strategic control over project value starts in the evaluation phase. Having the current performance assessed and identifying the strategic values that need to improve is the basis for decision making, evaluation and control. Thus you provide clear targets for internal and external project participants.

Our Proposition

Assessing a reliable set of KPI before the start of every major project is a professional job. We offer to calculate these KPI based in commonly accepted and standardized performance norms. Based on your strategic targets, we will build your progress metrics enabling you to effectively steer your project.

Additionally we can provide you local benchmark data exclusively gathered from the Luxembourg Marketplace.

At the end of your project, we offer to audit the same performance metrics, evaluating if you really reached your objectives.

Benefits

1.       Clear and undoubted statement about your current performance as a solid basis for decision making and management;

2.       Easier identification of strategic targets and tangible metrics;

3.       A tangible reporting model for following up progress of your project regarding the strategic targets;

4.       Well defined parameters to base important project decisions upon, like evaluation of value, comparison and selection of suppliers and so on;

5.       Measured starting situation and clearly defined project targets make the value added of your project tangible and easier to demonstrate;

6.       Optionally Luxembourg benchmark data.
