The only way we consider projects a success is if we impact your numbers. On every project we work to establish the desired KPI’s (Key Performance Indicators) for the project. We view projects as challenges and at the start of every project we baseline your current numbers in these areas and set the KPI goal for each. We work to reach and exceed this goal on every project we do. “ ” Industry-wide On time, on budget On time, on budget Challenged Cancelled 29% 53% 18% 100% What determines success?
