High Five overview – 5 key steps to effective project management

The program features a unique graphic approach to logic-driven planning. Being able to visualise the project slashes planning time and greatly increases the effectiveness of the plan implementation.

Participants learn the following five core steps that form a complete process for any project:

		Step 1: Genesis Identify key players and their roles. Clarify the goal of the project and define its scope. Get sign off from project sponsor.
		Step 2: Design Focus on a detailed design by which outcomes of the project are managed.
		Step 3: Implementation Planning Use Objective Driven Logic to graphically map out the project tasks, dependencies, time frames and costs using a unique set of project tools and systems.
		Step 4: Implementation Manage the uncertainty of project delivery. Handle scope, resourcing and financial changes during implementation.
		Step 5: Project review Undertake 3 distinct reviews to ensure learnings will become building blocks for future projects.

Our 2-day High Five Program

Day 1 — Picturing the path

During the first day, we lay the foundations for the first 3 steps: effective Genesis, Design, and Implementation & Planning Principles. Groups will complete first of the two major case studies.

Day 2 — Making it all happen

The day begins with a review and will focus on:

• Techniques for building implementation plans
• Project costing
• Resolving complex resource issues
• Handling scope change and managing client expectations

After lunch, our second case study covers a project with a HK$20million budget
