Project management maturity assessment is an essential component for determining the current level of maturity of an organization’s project management and delivery processes. The project management maturity value can then be used to identify target areas to focus investments, as well as a projection of future maturity levels and comparison of these to target maturity levels. Target project maturity levels vary between businesses depending on targets, current strategies, scope, and current capabilities.
After completion of a project management maturity assessment, results are utilized for the development of an individualized roadmap containing measurable milestones that facilitate progress in both the short and long term. This roadmap additionally addresses barriers to success and provides change enablers for overcoming or mitigating these. Project management maturity can be reassessed in the future after the achievement of specific milestones, highlighting both the progress that has been made or any new barriers that need to be addressed. Our project management consulting services utilize the results of a project management maturity assessment to develop a personalized roadmap with measurable milestones, addressing barriers to success and providing change enablers to facilitate progress in the short and long term, with the ability to reassess and adjust the roadmap as necessary to ensure continued success.

Recent data indicates that a median of 37% of the projects undertaken by an organization is at risk of failure. Forward-thinking, data-driven planning, and decisive action are therefore essential to eliminating the risk of project failure and preventing loss of revenue and business growth. At-risk projects can be identified by common indicators including delayed accomplishment of set targets or milestones, incomplete resource allocation, or significant technical issues.
Project recovery incorporates a comprehensive review of the current status of the project, allowing areas of weakness to be identified and improved upon. These areas of weakness frequently incorporate resource availability, project roles or responsibilities, monitoring processes, and project scope. Following project assessment, the senior leadership team then acknowledges the strong aspects of the projects while examining areas of weakness, how these weaknesses may have developed, and ways to prevent them in the future. This information is used to construct a recovery plan.
Actions taken to recover and stabilize at-risk projects incorporate improvements in communication, optimizing resource allocation, resolution of technical issues, improving stakeholder management, and redefinition of the scope of the project. Project management consultants at Cognitute have successfully recovered close to 325+ critical projects for our clients, pinning an average 1.35 percentage points increment in total shareholder returns.

Business strategy is the foundation for any successful organization, but without sound execution, even the most valuable strategy is limited in the value it can provide. Statistically, between 60-90% of business initiatives are not successfully executed. Failure to execute a business strategy has significant negative impacts, including losing competitive advantage, discrediting of leadership teams, reduced workforce morale, and inability to gain a leading position in the industry. To guarantee that strategic goals and initiatives are achieved to full potential, industry-leading organizations implement a Strategic Realization Office or SRO.
SRO optimizes the execution of strategic initiatives while prioritizing strategic goals to ensure that they are not outside the capacity of the business. High-achieving SROs will incorporate governance, which facilitates the creation of an effective plan and processes for project management while ensuring that compliance is maximized.
