Project Management
Moscarda Solutions can help you establish project management methodologies and standards to ensure projects are executed in a
professional way as the business grows
About the Service
As a business grows, quite often managers find themselves bogged down in the day to day operations, with no time to think about strategic issues and future goals. Worse still, at a tactical level, they find it harder to manage performance and emerging priorities.​
​
When a new challenge comes along, which is a one off or requires a unique effort, this is what we call a "project". Business owners may find themselves struggling with the right approach. There is a big difference between projects and routine day to day operations, and if you don’t have the right methodologies to manage these emerging projects, you may find your business spinning out of control.​
​
​So what does it take to manage a project?
You may think that it is a complex process that requires specialist expertise but the reality is there are existing models and approaches that can be used to manage any project, from organising a wedding to managing a multi million dollar mine construction.​
Moscarda Solutions has had the benefit of managing many projects, large and small for one of the world’s biggest resource companies. We know what works and what doesn’t and we can fast track your firm’s understanding of best practice project management methodologies so that projects are executed in a professional way as the business grows. We can even help you develop your project management standards so that best practice is sustained and improved over time.
