Challenges in Project Management

If your company lacks the time and experience needed for sound project planning, or if ongoing projects are running into trouble, it’s time to take action. As a project management consulting firm, KBC doesn’t just work with you to develop successful projects on paper—we also step in as a task force to get projects back on track and ensure that you meet your quality, deadline, and cost targets.

For nearly 20 years, we have been managing complex projects across a wide range of industries. Our team of consultants understands your challenges firsthand and goes far beyond the scope of a traditional PMO: Working closely with your project management team, we proactively help steer your project, enabling you to quickly achieve improvements in your day-to-day operations.

Inadequate project planning

You’ve identified the problem and are getting started on your project—but without a concrete roadmap.

Unclear responsibilities

When it comes to resource planning, you lack clear points of contact and their assignment to specific work packages.

Communication isn't working

Employees are talking past one another, project processes lack transparency, and those in charge are not sufficiently informed.

Costs deviate from the plan

Without clear control over your costs, budget variances become apparent too late—and projects end up costing more than expected.

The project has failed to meet its objectives

Your project isn't going as planned, deadlines aren't being met, and your goals are at risk.

Ways to Clearly Managed Projects

In addition to project and milestone planning, KBC’s project management consulting services focus on key control areas—ranging from presentation and document management to monitoring and progress tracking. We apply these approaches in individual projects as well as in program and multi-project management. We are also available to provide targeted task force support as needed.

Project and Milestone Schedule

The foundation of any successful project management is structured project and milestone planning: What needs to be done? How do you ensure that the steps build logically upon one another? By when must the goals be achieved? Working closely with you, KBC defines work packages that include realistic timelines. The result is a robust overall plan that provides direction, transparency, and accountability, and aligns all stakeholders with shared goals.

Presentation and Document Management

Especially on larger or international projects, teams can lose track of documents and their current status. KBC creates clear filing structures and consistent, well-maintained documentation through presentation and document management . We prepare content for committee review and establish a central “single point of truth.” This ensures that everyone involved can find the right information at any time—reliable, up-to-date, and easy to understand.

Monitoring and Progress Tracking

Without clear progress tracking, there is a lack of transparency regarding the current status of the project. That is why KBC not only works with you to define goals in advance, but also systematically monitors how your project is progressing and whether measures are having the intended effect. Depending on your needs, we use appropriate tools and reporting structures to continuously document progress. This allows you to take corrective action early on if any deviations arise.

Program Management

Large-scale programs present companies with complex challenges. In program management, KBC ensures a structured approach across three clearly defined phases: During the initialization phase, we clearly establish work structures and responsibilities. We then manage and support the work packages throughout implementation until the objectives are achieved. In the final phase, we ensure that the measures have a sustainable, measurable impact on your company.

Multi-project management

When multiple projects are running simultaneously, it’s often difficult to maintain an overview, establish clear priorities, and ensure coordinated processes. Through multi-project management , KBC provides transparency across all ongoing initiatives, structures your workflows, and helps you prioritize effectively. We ensure that you allocate resources where they will make the greatest contribution to overall success. This allows you to align projects effectively and avoid conflicting objectives.

Task Force

When projects get out of hand, swift action is required. KBC supports you with a task force that analyzes your situation, establishes clear structures quickly, and gets critical projects back on track. Our involvement is focused and time-limited—we consistently concentrate on the issues critical to success. The goal is to stabilize your project for the long term and safely return it to normal operations.

This is how we view project management consulting

For us, project management isn’t just a traditional PMO—it’s PMO plus: We challenge the status quo, actively contribute ideas, and manage projects with common sense. Rather than simply monitoring project goals, our focus is on delivering measurable results in day-to-day operations.

Answers that advance project management goals

Companies often lack the internal resources to allow employees to devote significant time to project planning in addition to their core responsibilities. They also frequently lack experience with large-scale programs.

As an international boutique consulting firm, we bring exactly this kind of experience to the table while allowing you to focus on your day-to-day operations. We thoroughly familiarize ourselves with your specific needs and processes to identify concrete levers that will help you successfully bring your projects to fruition.

We work with you exactly the way you want: from the tools and software you use to where we work—whether remotely or on-site at your location. We’re flexible with our hours to accommodate your needs. For important matters, we’re of course available by phone even after 5:00 p.m.

Of course, you know your products and processes best. Our goal is not to replace an entire department. What sets us apart, however, is our approach of treating your project as our own and quickly gaining a deep understanding of the subject matter.

In doing so, we often ask precisely the questions that you no longer ask yourselves internally—but which are crucial to your progress.
