Building Helping Relationships

In a departure from the typical staff augmentation model, Certified Project Management provides help in managing organizational change through experienced Project Managers who know how and when to give help.

For example, we understand that sometimes a person seeking help does not know the exact solution they are looking for. Often all that is known is that something is not working right and outside help is being sought.

While it is occasionally the case that our clients anticipate what specific remedy is needed to manage a given business problem, more often than not there is considerable ambiguity around improvement efforts. Often mangers in an organization sense that things could be better, but might not have the time to translate these feelings into specific plans of action. Our consultants do not assume that the manager knows what is wrong or what is needed 100% of the time. Instead they help to define the steps that lead to the concrete action steps that ultimately improve the situation.

We feel that central to any successful organizational change effort is the creation of conditions where mutual learning can take place and new possibilities can unfold.
