Project Management

RFD Insight has been unusually successful in advancing challenged companies and institutions over the past eight years. At the core of our success is the effective integration of good management and cost reduction with competition-crushing creativity. Planning and execution of your organization’s projects are where these apparent contradictions can come together. We have the experience, tools and skills to make your projects work so that your company will meet its growth and profitability targets through new revenue instead of just grinding out the game through cost reductions.

Whereas Operations involves the management of repetitive activities through well-defined process and continual improvement, Project Management represents the opportunity to make great leaps in competitiveness, market share, brand value, and profitability. Yet the real potential value of these special projects is not assured.

Project Management Methods

  • Project Management Office implementation
  • Project Management methods and processes

Project Implementation Services

  • Implementation services for contracts, grants and/or projects

  • Team development and training
  • Training on new project requirements

Managing a major project against time and capital constraints while meeting the company’s goals challenges any organization. These special challenges are daunting and well worth considering. Typically, the personality profiles of those people who prove effective conducting repetitive operations are not optimally suited for the dynamic task of executing a project that represents a new and important step for the company’s balance sheet and valuation.

Furthermore, many projects, such as ISO Certification, require specialized knowledge and skills if the implementation is to be completed in a short time and with minimal disruption to the profit centers of the organization.

At the same time, someone who is gifted in project management may find it difficult to return to business as usual, which demands high concentration on repetitive process. The bottom line is that you may not have the leader you need to manage a critical project, and you may not want to retain such a dynamic personality in your day-to-day operations.

RFD Insight’s experts have successfully implemented quality management systems (ISO 9001:2008) in less than one year at companies as diverse as manufacturing, brand marketing and professional services firms. Our people have taught project management (PM) best practices using PMI techniques as part of a project management office (PMO) implementation. We have implemented contracts, grants and projects ensuring that the staff is fully skilled in ongoing management of the project when we leave.

In addition to commercial and institutional project management experience, RFD Insight can also provide critical skills to help acquire and manage defense and energy projects, as well as other government RFPs.
