We take a holistic, multi-generational approach to family business advisory, ensuring that the interests of all stakeholders—owners, family members, and professional managers—are aligned.
Project Control System Assessment & Gap Analysis
- Evaluating Existing Project Control Mechanisms: Reviewing cost tracking, risk mitigation, and performance measurement approaches.
- Identifying Gaps in Budget, Schedule, & Resource Control: Analyzing historical project performance to find areas of inefficiency.
- Benchmarking Against Best Practices: Comparing project control methodologies to PMI, AACE, and Lean Project Management standards.
Project Control Model Design & Implementation
- Developing Cost Control & Budget Management Processes: Establishing budget baselines, cost variance tracking, and financial forecasting techniques.
- Designing Schedule Tracking & Delay Mitigation Frameworks: Implementing critical path analysis (CPA), milestone-based scheduling, and automated schedule updates.
- Standardizing Risk Assessment & Change Control Mechanisms: Embedding risk heat maps, change request workflows, and approval hierarchies into project execution.
Project Control Operating Procedures Development
- Defining Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs): Creating clear, step-by-step guidelines for cost control, schedule adherence, and risk escalation.
- Documenting Process Flows & Approval Chains: Establishing structured workflows for decision-making, approvals, and issue resolution.
- Developing Templates & Checklists for Project Control Activities: Standardizing budget forecasting models, variance analysis templates, and progress tracking tools.
- Ensuring Compliance with Industry Standards: Aligning procedures with PMI, AACE, and ISO 21500 project control guidelines.
Continuous Monitoring & Performance Optimization
- Defining Key Project Control Metrics (KPIs): Establishing metrics such as Planned vs. Actual Cost, Schedule Performance Index (SPI), and Cost Performance Index (CPI).
- Quarterly Project Control Audits & Improvement Recommendations: Evaluating project control efficiency and adjusting processes for continuous optimization.
Our Project Control Operating Model Design helps organizations minimize project risks, improve cost predictability, and enhance project performance through structured control mechanisms and operating procedures.
