Change projects
If there is a big project in the wings, which you are feeling might be too big to take on, alongside everything else, then there is another way.
Why not bring in an external project manager to help you stay on track?
Using an external project manager experienced in professional services change projects enables you to:
-
achieve results faster and realise the potential of small/mid size firm agility without needing to grow headcount unnecessarily.
-
focus on assuring continuity of marketing activity, whilst maintaining strategic oversight on what can be time consuming project focused work.
-
avoid a project making your life one of struggling to achieve a work-work balance rather than a work-life balance.
-
develop or broaden skills of your team, giving them the chance to learn from an experienced project manager
