PI+PM

A Powerful Combination

We take unique approaches to combining, teaching, and employing process improvement (PI) and project management (PM). Ultimately, it is the RIGHT combinations of PI and PM that result in solutions that help organizations and individuals achieve excellence. Why make the investment to improve a process that isn’t managed well or smartly applied to projects? Why develop excellent skills to manage projects only to use processes that aren’t optimized?

Process Improvement helps us determine the best way to carry out a certain kind of work to achieve:

  • Efficiency
  • Excellent quality of work and service
  • High probability of successful outcomes
  • Predictability

Processes are the way we create and deliver value to the client and our organizations. They embody our knowledge and, ideally, are the best way we know how to do something.

Project Management is the process and activity of planning, organizing, motivating, and controlling resources, procedures, and protocols to achieve specific goals. It is a role and set of skills that ensures that, for a particular engagement, we:

  • Use our “best process” appropriately
  • Actively manage schedules, staff, and deliverables throughout the matter
  • Apply knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to the project activities to meet the project requirements and deliver what is most critical to quality
