Strategic Project Enablement
The gap between strategy and execution is where most organizations stumble. At New Oaks, we help organizations bridge that gap with our “Strategic Project Enablement” service that ensures your projects don’t just finish on time and on budget – they deliver real business value.
Many companies waste resources on projects that are not the right fit. We guide you in selecting initiatives that truly matter by working with your team to:
✦ Define Your Strategic Blueprint: We’ll clarify your long-term goals and what success looks like.
✦ Implement a Prioritization Framework: We’ll help you create and use a data-driven model to objectively evaluate projects based on strategic fit, financial impact, and feasibility.
✦ Build Your Project Portfolio: We’ll help you prioritize and resource the projects that offer the highest return on your strategic investment, ensuring every effort contributes to your core business objectives.
A great strategy is useless without effective implementation. We provide the expertise to ensure your strategic vision is carried through to every stage of a project. Our services include:
✦ Project Chartering & Alignment: We’ll help you develop clear project charters that embed the strategic “why,” ensuring the entire team understands its purpose and can stay aligned.
✦ Ongoing Strategic Guidance: We’ll provide a consultant to act as your strategic advisor, helping your project team navigate challenges and make decisions that maintain alignment with your business goals. We will help design a stage-gate system that aligns with your company’s processes and expected outcomes.
✦ Risk & Change Management: We’ll help you identify and plan for potential risks, including resource and skill gaps, and develop a clear change management plan to ensure smooth adoption.
We go beyond traditional project metrics to demonstrate that your projects are making a tangible impact. We’ll help you establish a system to:
✦ Define Strategic KPIs: We’ll work with you to create meaningful Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) directly linked to your business objectives, such as customer acquisition cost, operational efficiency, or risk reduction.
✦ Implement a Measurement Dashboard: We’ll help you set up a dashboard that provides real-time visibility into the strategic value of your projects, allowing you to make data-driven decisions.
✦ Conduct Post-Project Reviews: We’ll lead a formal review process to capture lessons learned, not just about budget and schedule, but about what the project taught you about your strategy and execution.
