Process Change - Canterbury Development Corporation
    
Process Change
Case Study text
  • Project Advantage Ltd (PAL) worked with Canterbury Development Corporation (CDC) senior management to delivering a step change to their business and project management systems. We provided Consultancy and Training support to define, capture and then implement the transition of an integrated Project Management System into their organisation.

    The change project was managed from within CDC, with PAL in a consultancy role providing information, support and training. PAL worked with CDC to understand their present-state business, organisational, cultural and management systems  and to map the path of change.

    PAL and CDC collaborated to develop the custom stage-gate and project management processes. Together we designed and delivered an array of project management tools, techniques and templates to control their projects. The process covers activities from the inception of an idea to project close and will be used for all major CDC projects .

    PAL helped facilitate upfront reviews and incorporation of processes and templates common understandings with all areas of the organisation to create and imbed a common CDC language.

    Standard Project Management training courses and associated jargon were not going to meet CDCs true needs! We designed and delivered tailor made training and workshop events. These informed their evolving Project Management knowledge awareness while ensuring a basic understanding of what had to be really done in practice.

    CDCs sector managers and other staff have began the implementation of the new system and we continue to build on our collaborative and open relationship with CDC.
    Not only by delivering consultancy and training but with the availability of Project Management contracting resource for those flagship and intricate projects.

    CDC realised the benefit of working with Project Advantage.
