Project / Event Governance
Are you satisfied your major projects or outsourced activities are creating the predicted value?
Poor project or event management can lead to costly mistakes and inefficient outcomes. We have witnessed lately, numerous examples of projects and events gone wrong because of a lack of oversight. Be it a new IT system implementation, hotel quarantine program, outsourced maintenance, building a new plant or delivering an event, with more and more third party outsourcing and project complexity, risks need to be closely monitored. Outsourcing activities does not remove organisational responsibility.
The JNW team have assisted a large number of organisations to successfully deliver projects, reduce event risks and strengthen controls over contract and event management. Through this experience, we have created a unique governance model that enhances the probability of achieving the contracted benefits and/or successful project delivery.
Our Project / Event Management Governance Solutions are risk focused and designed to:
- Provide assurance that emerging risks will be identified;
- Create transparency/intelligence through better practice control frameworks;
- Protect Contract Managers and Executive from budget and timeline blow-outs; and
- Increase the chances of successfully achieving forecast outcomes.
Good contract and project governance can unlock the envisaged procurement value and deliver a quality outcome – on time, on budget. A cleverly designed governance framework can remove doubt, provide protection and increase the chances of successful outcomes.
