Project Recovery
Research shows that, regardless of industry, project failure is a critical problem in modern business. For many businesses - both in Australia and overseas - project failure is a daily concern, as managers struggle to meet targeted benefits and timeframes. Approximately 50% of IT projects double original estimates and nearly 30% are cancelled before completion. Overall, Project Management deficiencies account for nearly 70% of all project failures.
Over 25 years of dedicated Project Alignment engagements with major corporations and government bodies in Australia and overseas, SMS has found that it is the application of core principles that contributes most significantly to project success.

We conduct expert reviews and deliver actionable recommendations to help your project team deliver the desired business outcomes.
