This is all conducted by an independent, external consultant to give an objective perspective that is removed from the day-to-day activities of the project team. A project health check helps organizations prevent minor issues from becoming major problems or helps a project that&#8217;s stalled or derailing to get back towards accomplishing the original vision. At Clarkston Consulting, we\u2019re known for our ability to partner with clients to deliver projects on time and on budget as well as for our ability to turn around ailing projects and get them on the road to recovery. A key component of our methodology is SuccessCheck.\u2122 Our project health check implementations help clients focus on the right areas for improvement. By reinforcing positive outcomes and understanding how things are supposed to work, our team goes beyond focusing on areas for improvements. Our goal is to capture lessons learned and offer recommendations that enhance the project&#8217;s success and future initiatives. An effective and thorough project health check includes using an independent (third-party) facilitator, a cohesive strategy, a mixed-methods approach to research, stakeholder outreach, and a final report and action plan. The Clarkston Consulting team empowers organizations to improve their overall project health by pointing out the core differences between the reported status and reality to give a clear, honest picture of the actual situation and the path forward to achieving the project&#8217;s desired business benefits. During the check, our team will provide a comprehensive review, identify gaps and risks, and provide recommendations. Through the positives and the negatives, our aim is proactive problem prevention that saves money and time and gives you the opportunity to treat the root causes before they become major issues. We\u2019ve been doing project health check implementations for more than 30 years, and we have a proven track record of executing quickly and seamlessly. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project health check consulting entails a comprehensive analysis of a project and recommendations on how to get it back on track.
