Turnaround projects
Focusing your organisation on one goal
I have worked in high-pressure turnaround situations involving heavy management focus; both as a project manager and as an Executive Management Team member and line Operations Director.
• Framework approach
– Are you approaching your crisis situation in a structured manner?
– Have you broken down the issues into categories which can be handled by line management?
• Project organisation
– Is the situation transparent to your staff, supervisors, and managers?
– Do they buy in to your analysis of the causes?
– Are they aligned behind – or better yet, involved with – the solutions?
• Performance measurement
– Are you measuring the relevant things?
– Is your team aligned behind what is measured?
– Are there clear owners of performance results?
