Transform Project Management: From Process to Quality Professional Service

The Shifting Landscape of Project Management:

• Traditional project methodologies are challenged by increasingly complex, uncertain project demands.

• Agile and hybrid approaches demand stronger collaboration and continuous value delivery.

• The importance of behavioural and emotional aspects in project success is a reality.

The Gap in Quality:

• Project management performance often falls short of desired quality (>60% failure rate).

• Modern HR initiatives struggle to address the emotional and behavioural aspects for PMs.

• Overworked project practitioners face difficulty adapting to the new paradigm combining methodologies with emotional maturity.

Building High-Quality Professional Services:

• Hiring lots of expensive contractor PMs or limiting project workload to Tiger teams are not sustainable solutions.

• An effective alternative: Applied EQ coaching for your own project management professionals (project teams, project workspaces and project sponsors).

The Coaching Approach:

1. Start with an initial assessment:

   1. Identify individual and team improvement opportunities.

   2. Assess both quality of project management procedures and emotional maturity.

   3. Use anonymous surveys and share findings.

2. Incorporate missing soft skills:

   1. Focus on building self awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills.

   2. Combine standard supervision with straight-forward Applied EQ coaching.

   3. Utilise standard methods ( integrated with existing project reviews)

   4. Be patient and expect ongoing improvement and development.

3. Provide ongoing support:

   1. Offer opportunities for continuous learning and practice.

   2. Build a shared knowledge base with PMs and PMO, Sponsors, Stakeholders and the Project Workspace.

   3. Integrate Applied EQ metrics into existing project performance reporting.
