The CPS Difference
Keeping Your Project on Time and on Budget
Based on the needs of your institution, we will recommend the use of various professional project management processes and tools designed to (1) keep the implementation on schedule, (2) manage project costs, (3) manage project vendors, and (4) help avoid problems and ensure a successful implementation.
We build on software vendors’ services by providing the following essential components for project success: project planning, tracking, and controlling.
- Project Planning. Collegiate Project Services assists you in determining staffing requirements, developing a budget, identifying and resolving critical project risks, developing project roles and responsibilities, and developing a comprehensive project schedule that includes tasks for the institution and any outside vendors.
- Project Tracking & Controlling. Collegiate Project Services assists you in developing procedures for updating project schedules, producing weekly and monthly dashboards and reports, and tracking and managing the project performance against the schedule and the budget.
Our Organization Change Management Capabilities
Our ability to complement our project management services with a powerful portfolio of organization change management and leadership development services makes us uniquely qualified to handle the functional, technical, AND cultural objectives of large, mission-critical projects. We help project teams focus on strategic project goals by helping them to effectively handle conflict, break down departmental silos, improve communication, overcome organizational politics, and reduce resistance to change.
