Right Wall Project Design

Are you sure your project ladder is leaning against the right wall?

Through an interactive workshop approach, I will guide you to investigate your problem, clarify your vision, and build collaboration for impactful, sustainable projects.

The Right Wall…

There is a cautionary tale.

Do not spend your life climbing the ladder, only to find at the end of your life, you have climbed to the top of the wrong wall, and there is now a chasm between you and all which you desire.

This goes for projects as well. Before setting off, make sure you know what your project needs to achieve to be useful. On many occasions I’ve been asked to run a project, only to find where we need to go to get the result, is ‘over there’ and certainly not where the project is heading, or worse, the project outputs were never validated to determined that they are realistic and what is needed to move the organisation forward.

This is the situation I want to help people avoid. By understanding how you got to where you are at by investigating the problem, and map out the terrain so that you can navigate a path to meaningful change. This means you will be climbing the ladder up the wall you want to.

And if you do this with your team, key stakeholders and using experts, you will gain support and traction for the work, before it has even begun.

No project operates in isolation. Understanding the levers and drivers for change as well as the key elements and history of the environment your project is operating in is crucial to delivering something of value that is useful ‘out in the real world’.

Why Design?

Planning vs Design

Planning helps in doing all of the things ‘right’.

Design is about doing the right things.

Both have their value. With projects, design is being intentional about determining your destination, and planning ensures that you get there.
