How can Close Quarter’s services help you be more successful?
Close Quarter helps the senior executives responsible for the delivery of strategic projects on a number of levels. From, short-term tactical help in diagnosing problem projects or carrying out “fix and repair” on failing projects through to the more strategic assistance you might want to help you maximise the effectiveness and commercial benefits delivered from your project portfolio.
Business Diagnostics
Are you confident that you understand the root causes of your key issues and what it would take to fix them? We offer sophisticated business performance diagnostic tools to assess the status of key strategic business initiatives. We provide you with an independent, expert perspective on your current situation and confidential feedback on what needs to be done for you to be successful. You may wish to carry out:
- A rapid assessment high-level scan of your entire business initiative portfolio (we call this a ‘Level 0 diagnostic’) to identify high impact projects at significant risk of failure
- A more detailed assessment of individual projects (we call this a ‘Level 1 diagnostic’)
- A deep dive to get fully to grips (we call this a ‘Level 2 diagnostic’) with the status and root causes of problems on a specific major business initiative.
All of our diagnostic reviews come with a ‘no quibble’ fees guarantee that you are completely satisfied with our analysis and recommendations.
Business Initiative Fix & Repair
Do you need to get your strategic business initiative back on track rapidly? Some firms believe in carrying out elaborate, extensive time consuming somewhat academic analytical reviews of strategic projects, ‘an audit approach’ of telling you what’s wrong without actually resolving fundamental problems.
We can begin helping you immediately through completing a rapid ‘fix and repair’ to put back your strategic business initiative back on the rails. Our objective is to diagnose, determine root causes and carry out a rapid 30 day action programme to put you back in confident control.
Business Initiative Execution
Do you just need competent, experienced expertise immediately to help you get the job done now? With the ever increasing pace of competition and ever growing demands from regulation, the demands for resources to deliver your strategic business initiative agenda can soon outstrip your pool of capable, highly experienced individuals. Your faced then with a choice of scaling back your ambitions or looking for appropriate help to help you over demand peaks. We can help you by providing experienced senior interim management, functional specialist, programme management experts and risk management specialists or simply come in and set up a fully functioning programme office for you. Your own staff can then take over when everything is back on track.
