A short presentation on the Valuta approach to assuring improved project delivery.

1. Valuta Project Support and Improvement Service Purpose, Benefits and Track Record

2. Do you recognise these issues? “We keep making the same mistakes with our projects.” “We thought the scope was clear to all our stakeholders, but this was not the case.” “Our timetable was unrealistic, and we didn’t have the resources to deliver it.” “We expected the project to make things happen, when we (the project board) had responsibility.”

3. Our Purpose To increase project success using independent review. To improve our clients’ capability to deliver projects through our commitment to knowledge transfer. To support continuous improvement by identifying and presenting lessons from project reviews.

4. Benefits The benefits of our work include: The project understands who needs to do what and when – to deliver successfully; The wider organization learns how to support project delivery; Stakeholders increase their understanding and commitment to the project; Client review team members gain project skills that can be transferred to their own project work; Organizational project delivery approach is improved by drawing lessons from reviews.

5. Example Projects New South Glasgow Hospital Valuta leads the first review for NHSS – Europe’s largest health project.
