New Red Fox starts by gaining a thorough understanding of your business. We need to know the size of your projects, their complexity and how long they have been underway. Is your business growing, stagnating or shrinking? There is no need to run a scorched earth campaign on existing projects. We can work with you to examine current processes, make adjustments where necessary, and leave initiatives that are running smoothly untouched. Our consultants come with a well-stocked toolkit. This is not a “solution in a box,” it is a set of processes, forms and templates that integrate seamlessly with your business procedures. The goal is minimal disruption to your operations while we work with you to get the most out of existing resources and develop a plan to move forward.
Mentorship is more than answering questions and ad hoc support. A New Red Fox mentor will work with your project managers and their teams, developing strategic awareness and enabling successful execution of their projects.
New Red Fox mentors roll up their sleeves to provide hands-on support and expert stewardship, ensuring adherence to sound project management principles. Our mentors give your project teams the confidence to deploy new processes, practices and templates through guided learning and regular practice.
Your projects are too important to fail, and yet some of your key initiatives may be headed down that long, expensive path. Don’t wait until a project is declared a failure to call in reinforcements!
Most often issues lie in the scope of the project, the availability or competency of resources, or the project oversight. New Red Fox brings the element of objectivity to project recovery. Our experts start by reviewing the current state of the project to find the fatal flaws.
Once we have identified the cause of the breakdown, we will develop a corrective plan that salvages the accomplishments to date and outlines clear steps to get the project back on the rails. The rest is up to you. Our recovery experts can lead the charge to turn things around, or a New Red Fox mentor can guide your team through the recovery process. Our corrective plan will help you decide which approach is best for your company.
Working on a number of projects at once is a project in itself. New Red Fox will work with you to make sure there is an appropriate level of project portfolio management (PPM) in your business structure. Then, using our innovative PPM Maturity Model, we will assess your PPM capability and measure the distance from where your business is today and where you see it tomorrow.
Taking into account everything we have learned about your business, New Red Fox will provide a strategic plan to help you reach your goals with attainable milestones along the way. Sometimes this change requires baby steps, and sometimes giant leaps are the way to go. Either way you will have a clear roadmap for success and our ongoing support.
Project management is not a fixed state. Like any professional discipline, project management grows and evolves to meet the ever-changing needs of the business. An effective Project Management Office (PMO) will incorporate the latest tools to make your company’s projects leaner, faster and more effective. New Red Fox can help your company build a PMO or to help optimise your existing PMO.
New Red Fox provides program and project managers with the experience and professionalism to direct even the highest-profile strategic initiatives. We can work with you for a few days on a small local project or for a few years on a major, multi-national program.
