Hello and welcome to our Independent Project
Review service.
|
We are a group of
Project Controls and Risk Management professionals led by me, David
Winter (Order Efficiency
Ltd), working together to
provide a straightforward Independent Project Review service to
Project Owners across the whole range of industries.
|
|
Our
proposition is
simple. We work with your Project Team to carry out a series of
project review exercises that feed a template 'project health'
matrix that forms a perpetual reference on how the project's
progress compares to the industry standard ideal.
|
|
We join your team
for an agreed duration and a defined cost ceiling and leave you
with a fully formed strategy that your project team can use to move
the project towards successful completion.
|
|
The main
output of our service is a
document with analysis results and suggestions for strategy
adjustment and action plan.
|
|
A secondary output
is the option for
continuation of a
fully functional communications system that we set up during the exercise.
Your project team can use this for the gathering of ongoing
feedback from the project staff in further development of the
project schedule.
|
|
Once you have
experienced our IPR service, we think you will come for repeated
Project Reviews as your project progress through its phases.
Our communications system in place makes subsequent exercises easier and
faster than the
first, at a lower cost ceiling because work in creating the system
has already been done.

For a service
description, and a commercial proposition please go ahead and
browse the site, especially the downloads and videos below.
|
|
If you decide that
you would like to go ahead with an IPR exercise and would like to
talk over the next steps please just let us know. It would be our
pleasure to get this started.

Kind
Regards,
The IPR
team

Map' (one page pdf)
Using the overview
map, you can make best use of the [XX] indexing. This helps to keep
your browsing in context with the whole site.

Slides' (powerpoint slide
set)
For offline reading, the Powerpoint Presentation
slides shown in this site.
|
| 'The Commercial
Proposition' (pdf
document)
For the Project
Owners visiting the site, this is a document that captures the
commercial from our perspective. It is intended for use by your
Contracts team in making a call off services contract for ongoing
take up of our service.
|
| 'Navigating the Web
Interface' (word
document)
The screenshots in
the document are taken from our demo application. This is a demo
from an earlier stage of development when we were working with
Petrotrin. The idea is to show the 'simplicity' of the Web
Interface as an effective collection mechanism for status
information direct from the work place. It's a form of the Delphi
technique but project-wide.

Videos
|
| 'A Brief Welcome to the IPR
Site' (2 min video)
This is a simple
personal message from me introducing the IPR and welcoming the user
to view a growing library of instructional videos and other
materials that concern our service.
|
| 'Navigating the Open
Document' (6 min
video)
This is a
demonstration of the use of the 'Open Document' in our service. The
open document here concerns the IPR service directly and is a
comprehensive description of it based around a Powerpoint
Presentation (attached).
We use the Open
Document widely in our work on project reviews as they serve as
effective tools for gathering information on the topic of the Open
Document. The topic can be anything, for example a meeting report,
an analysis of a Concern.
The report itself
will be built up in Open Document form so that project participants
can follow its development and contribute to it. The video walks
you through the process.
|
| 'Accessing Projects via the
Web Interface' (4 min
video)
This is a simple
introduction to the Project Review information that is stored in
our database and accessible via a browser. This video doesn't go
into the site, but just explains how to access it and introduces
the concept of the 'general comment' which is how we collect
anonymous feedback from project participants and how we get buy-in
from project participants by encouraging them to 'request' access
to the review.
|
| 'The PHC
Demo' (25 min
video)
This is not
directly relevant to the IPR but is included here as a background
behind the idea of the IPR and the way we do it. The purpose of
this video when it was first produced was to present to
companies the idea of the PHC (Project Health Control) methodology
and it's application to Project Controls.
|
|
We had little
success in introducing this concept to companies directly, and the
'trial project' that we have been looking for remains to
materialise!
|
|
The principles
demonstrated in Project Control through Concerns Management and
Deliverables Tracking are however still relevant today and always
will be. We use certain parts of the PHC methodology (the tools for
communication and analysis) in our IPR service.
|
|
This is included
for your insight into how our IPR service has developed. Also,
though it is quite a different approach to the conventional review,
it should show how our approach allows exciting possibilities for
the effects of our review on enhancement of project
performance.
