5. Our client prided itself on delivering
quality work to its customers.
They aimed to deliver great work on
time and under budget.

6. To do that, they take control of
projects from the planning
stages right up to completion.

7. However, the client
works in an industry
with very tight margins.
Poor planning often led
to the organisation
losing money due to
inefficiencies.

8. The organisation didn’t need to
make a massive cultural shift.
A one-degree shift in leadership
was more than enough to make
the required changes.
GREATMANAGERS.COM

9. This shift came through the recognition
that the organisation’s leaders are
running a business.
While a focus on quality is important,
they also need to establish structure.

allows you to
define suitable
workplace
behaviours.

11. Our client implemented
their new structure after
making their one-degree
shift.

12. The result was an organisation
that took time to think about
projects instead of just
ploughing straight in.

13. This meant
significant
savings due to
superior
preparation.

are crucial to satisfying your
customers.
But you must place an equal focus
on your leadership.

business lies behind the
results you produce.

there’s no effective
leadership structure in
place.
That can lead to
disaster in an industry
with such tight margins.

19. Embrace the importance of
leadership.
From there, you can focus on
developing a great workplace
culture.

20. Tip #2 –
Plan
Effectively

21. Many of our client’s
problems came from a
desire to get stuck into their
work.

22. This lead to them spending too
little time on planning.
Issues didn’t get caught early on,
which cost them later into their
projects.

23. Taking a little
time to consider
projects reaped
dividends for the
client.

24. Proper planning = more
bottom-line return.
