Project Review & Recovery

36% of an organization’s projects are at risk of failure.*

Accord­ing to research find­ings from GT Solu­tions’ Strate­gies for Project Recov­ery research.

With so much at stake, fast action is the key to avoid­ing loss­es asso­ci­at­ed with project fail­ures.

GT Solu­tions’ project recov­ery experts begin by review­ing of the pro­jec­t’s cur­rent state to iden­ti­fy the areas in jeop­ardy. Com­mon areas of con­cern often include issues with scope, resource avail­abil­i­ty and/or capa­bil­i­ty, roles and respon­si­bil­i­ties, and project mon­i­tor­ing and con­trol. We will present our assess­ment to the senior lead­er­ship team rec­og­niz­ing the pro­jec­t’s accom­plish­ments to date, while call­ing out the major issues that caused it to veer off track. A cor­rec­tive plan is pro­vid­ed as part of this pre­sen­ta­tion.

Once the plan is accept­ed by the orga­ni­za­tion, our recov­ery experts will lead the turn­around ini­tia­tive, or you may choose to have us men­tor your project team through the recov­ery process.
