Project Complexity Reduction - Executive Workshop

"Complexity is the enemy of execution" is a quote from Tony Robbins, the famous coach, and he is absolutely right.
 
One of the main reasons technology projects fail so often is their (underestimated) complexity.

Managing and reducing complexity in projects should be an urgent concern for any organization.

But before you can manage and reduce complexity you should be able to understand and recognize it. 

In this half day workshop I will guide you and your executive team through the process of understanding and reducing the complexity of your key technology project through the use of my scientifically proven Project Complexity Assessment

Client Outcome

I have done many of these workshops as part of my client engagements as well as with startups I have invested in.

Clients have seen the following results:

> Common understanding of the project complexity
> Reduced project complexity
> Some realized that they should invest more money and time in a project
> Some realized that they should not do a planned project
> Some realized that they should stop an existing project
> Some realized that they should re-scope an existing project

All of them got a very valuable tool (and the understanding of how to use it) for other projects.

Delivery

I will come to your office. Ideally you and the rest of the team are there as well.

We will need a block of 4 hours for the workshop. For example 8:00 - 12:00 or 13:00 - 17:00.

If you want to save on the travel costs I can deliver this workshop online as well, but you will miss out on the team building effect this workshop can have. Especially if you combine it with lunch or dinner with all participants.

Scheduling

A Project Complexity Reduction workshop can usually be initiated within 2-3 weeks, depending on the time of year.
