Our Project Management approach is a little different and a lot more successful than the traditional. Not only that but we've found we can successfully apply it to environments not traditionally thought of as 'projects'.
We want all projects to be successful, so we're offering to teach our method through our Project Management System ebook.
Here's an example of the sort of thing that happens when we apply this method at a client site. Take Edinburgh City Council's Road Repairs Department:
Productivity increased by 200%, time to repair was slashed from 333 days to 39, and they won the Guardian Public Service Award for Frontline Engagement for the improvement in their service...all in 5 months.
And they did it without:
- Extra resource
- Targets or
- Bonus schemes
Most project managers are still trying to manage their projects using the old ways: due dates, targets, more open projects and more multi-tasking. But there is a better way, common sense but not common practice.
Once we had completed the work, Alison Angus, the project Lead at Edinburgh City Council asked me to document the method that we used, which we did...and so this book was born.
“Vanguard taught
us that we had to first study how the whole systems worked before deciding how best to make a
change. Additionally they showed us that systems like gullies and road repairs should be thought of
as project environments. This led to a completely different way of managing the cleaning schedule
and provided amazing efficiencies.”
Alison Angus, Business Improvement Consultant, Edinburgh City Council
“VELUX UK have used Vanguard to transform an already good business into one that is truly fantastic. Systems thinking helps us to retain our competitive position in the marketplace.”
Laurence Barrett, Director, VELUX UK
"It is logically and clearly structured with good examples. I felt the book inspires confidence to implement Vanguard and also acts as a companion in terms of a reference book."
Michael Grant, ebook purchaser
Here’s how the method works
- It’s just for project environments, so if that’s not you, take a look at our other change management ebooks instead.
- You learn to study the work and find out what’s wrong and the extent of the problems. This takes a few days but it’s easy to do.
- You throw out all your existing beliefs about how to manage in project environments, and discover that there’s a better way of working.
- You isolate an area to run a trial and have a go.
- Once you’ve proven it works you repeat the process across your service.
Here’s the offer:
A report that uncovers the exact questions to ask and methods to follow to find out if your service (remember project environments only) is in need of a new life.
A questionnaire with the report that you can use to analyse your project methodology and find out if it’s failing, (knowledge is power, if you know about it you can fix it).
You find out if how you manage projects is wrong, and what you can do to change it, quickly.
Why traditional project management methods don’t work and what to do differently.
Seven steps to quickly build and run your next project.
The three most common reasons for project failure, once you know these you can avoid losing control of your service.
Why due dates will make your project run late and what to do to deliver projects faster, with full content and on budget.
Why multi-tasking will extend, rather than reduce, the time of your project and what to do to stop it.
What measures to use in a project, and what not to ask if you want your project to finish on time.
If you’re sitting on the fence let me give you just three little nudges:
- There’s no risk if you don’t like it, just request a refund within 60 days of purchase and we will refund your money.
- There's a PDF version copy of slides that you can use to explain the method to others.
- And a third bonus, which is a guide that goes with the slides that explains exactly what to say and how to use them.
What’s the investment?
