Putting Your Project or Program on the Fast-Track for Success

The Seeds of My Projects Success or Failure Are Found at the Very Beginning

When projects start off strong, they tend to weather the most severe storms. When projects stumble out of the blocks, it can be tough to ever catch up, maintain a solid, steady momentum, and deliver the confident results you need.

True North helps high priority, fuzzy projects start off right. We help sponsors focus on key strategic objectives and support project and program leaders for success. We help project and program leaders create a robust, flexible project or program structure that can support the project over its life. We help project teams develop the relationships and practices that will work within the larger organizational cultural and political dynamic. We help you create a project that is able to continually align with dynamic and, sometimes volatile business objectives, focus on the highest priorities, and engage lasting support.

• Project Initiation Services help sponsors quickly pull together their aspirations into an executable and sharable vision
• Project Envisioning helps project leaders and managers distill the sponsors lofty vision into a more manageable set of shared objectives, scope, and critical success factors while effectively communicating trade-offs, conflicts, and working through necessary disappointments required in bringing any great idea into the real world of constraints and limitations.
• On-going Project Mentoring and Coaching Engages sponsors, customers, and project leaders in on-going dialogue about the difficulties in doing the impossible, supports project leaders and teams in finding innovative means to address difficult challenges, and provides outside perspective for heading off problems that can doom the effort to the realm of the Death March Project.
