Project Support Workshops
Throughout the project lifecycle—from project initiation through post-implementation stabilization–workshops bring the right people together to build high-quality project deliverables, accelerate the effort, reduce rework, and enable broad ownership of results.
Our experienced facilitators can help you throughout the project lifecycle, with workshops to define project scope, rules of engagement, and business and technology models, drive to key decisions, discover and manage issues and risks, and determine implementation approach and readiness. And you can rest easier throughout the project, ensuring all teams stay aligned and on-track with our work-in-progress reviews.
Our Project Support Workshops can accelerate and keep projects on-track. Our experienced facilitators can help you:
- Clearly define scope and measures for project success
- Define rules of engagement for the project team, including communication and escalation processes
- Build business process and technology models with involvement of the right audience to ensure quality and joint ownership
- Provide a guided forum for making key business decisions
- Assessing risk, identifying issues, and defining resolutions
- Assessing work-in-progress and enabling teams to stay on-track
- Defining and assessing implementation readiness and adoption
Project Support Workshops | Typical Outputs | Description | Delivery Considerations |
---|---|---|---|
Scope and Chartering Workshop |
|
This workshop builds the foundation for the project effort. It includes clear definition of purpose and scope, and identifies measures for success. Stakeholders and key team members are identified, along with overall project structure and approach, setting the stage for successful project launch. |
|
Rules of Engagement Workshop |
|
Rules of Engagement lay the foundation for how the team is going to work together. It takes the guess-work out of team engagement during the project. |
|
Problem Definition and Root Cause Analysis |
|
This workshop helps you isolate the symptoms from the problem, and explore root cause(s) to enable targeted solutions that make a difference. |
|
Prioritization Workshop |
|
We are constantly faced with making decisions regarding what to do first, and how to get the right work done. Whether planning large-scale initiatives and change, prioritizing programs and projects, or managing project priorities, the Prioritization Workshop can help you establish decision criteria and set priorities with sound business rationale. |

|
Implementation Approach Workshop |
|
This workshop enables the team to clearly think through implementation risks, approach, readiness, and adoption. The workshop also enables the team to delineate approach and process for communicating progress, and information necessary to ensure implementation readiness and adoption. |
|
Work-in-Progress Reviews |
|
Coordination of resources is easier in the front-end of project efforts, when the number of engaged resources are smaller. As the team grows in size during later project phases, it is increasingly difficult to keep everyone on the same page and aware of the inter-connectedness of deliverables. Work-in-Progress Reviews bring key team members and stakeholders together to ensure that progress is visible, and people are on the same page regarding deliverables, timing, issues and next steps. |
|
Implementation Readiness Workshop |
|
It’s not over until it’s up, running and stabilized. Too often, teams work to unreasonable implementation deadlines, without ensuring readiness for change. It’s also common for projects to declare victory then walk away from the change effort on day-1 of implementation. Post-implementation stabilization and adoption is critical for lasting and sustainable change. This workshop helps teams get it right—reaching the goal of change that brings sustainable results. |

All workshops are customized to fit your specific needs. |
