This is our simple, single-minded philosophy. Managing a project may seem deceptively simple for a corporation, but veteran managers know that a myriad of unseen obstacles may arrive during execution. A delayed project completion is a nightmare to deal with. It seldom matters who is at fault. Perceptions differ on what caused the delay. What matters is rectifying the issue and getting back on track.

However, as they say, prevention is better than cure. Rather than course correction in the case of crisis, don’t even take a chance of setbacks. We fill the gaps during execution & steer the project with a single objective in mind – the end goal. We plan the end first and build towards it from the start. The “cause and effect” theory is not valid when you add another factor to it – a factor which makes the cause irrelevant. That factor is Alltheway and our philosophy.

We provide the product of leadership, knowledge, experience, best practices, correct attitude and the right resources to bring unprecedented level of progress and success every single time.

When it comes to large projects, the stakeholders and entities in the external and internal environment can influence the outcome beyond the control of the Project Team. Incidents like local strikes, inclement weather, changes in gorvemental policies, political interference, breakdown of ships or other transportation, outbreak of diseases, etc. can derail the whole project.

Egos, vested interests and non-cooperation of clients, vendors, emloyees, regulatory bodies, etc. can adversely affect the project’s progress. Internal politics are present in most organizations to varying degrees. Internal politics may disrupt the decision-making process by diverting attention and energies towards frivolous matters.

Handling behaviors, diffusing conflicts before they lead to adverse consequences, and reducing impact of such consequences if they do happen require a very agile mind coupled with wisdom and fine judgment. This is where project management becomes an art; it is a systematic approach blended with the right leadership qualities. Otherwise, it is just an exercise that may or may not bring the desired results. A Project Manager is a leader who can influence the external and internal environment to their advantage.

In a manufacturing setup, one can fix standard inputs, set the process, and control the output. Everyone knows what to expect.

However, every project is unique making it impossible to get the same output from the same inputs, given the dependence on the ecosystem in which the project is implemented. Factors that influence a project’s progress are internal and external. Every project goes through the same process of initiation, planning, organizing, executing and closing. While consumption of materials or their resources may be based on standard consumption norms, there is no guarantee that this will be maintained. Even the project-specific cost estimate, that is made considering every contingency and risk, may overrun.

Project management is a collaborative effort of the whole organization, vendors, clients and governmental bodies.

A Project Manager’s career, just like that of a doctor, advances on their own brand value. Their reputation depends on achieving objectives for the end users. In doing so, they ensure that their project and their own conduct serve all stakeholders, in every way possible. These stakeholders include the organization they serve, vendors, workmen, staff and the local society.

All of us have different ideas on how a brand image is cultivated. More than anything else, the right conduct and actions, as well as clear direction in steering the project during troubled times builds a long-lasting impression.

If you intend to be a Project Manager, you must first assess your own behavior, habits, and qualities. The rest can be acquired over a reasonable period.

Should you wish to pursue a career in Project Management as a Project Manager with goals of advancing to head of projects/operation, and ultimately to CEO, please contact us. We would be glad to help you in your journey.

Our programs are intended to build capability and not to merely provide a certificate. Our aim is to create Project Managemnt Leaders who will deliver on all counts.

Risks are inherent to the Project Management environment. Some risks may be known while others unforeseen. Some risks may manifest due to the actions (or lack thereof) of people inside the Project arena and the ones interfacing with it.

Risks can occur due to the political climate, weather, physical challenges, management lethargy, economic and financial dimensions, health & safety inadequacies, strikes, client and vendor issues, underperformance by a team, modified regulations, scarcity of resources, or inadequate infrastructure, etc. Some risks are identifiable at the time of bidding or feasibility study.

The biggest threat to a project emerges when internal reasons drawbacks attract external risks or failures.

“A Bolt from the blue” and “ Murphy’s law” are two popular idioms that hold true in case of large projects. The cost of risk mitigation grows over time during project implementation. We can assist you in devloping an organization that can navigate the project through any weather.

The project manager and project control manager are like steering wheels in case of contractual disagreements, and contracts engineers are like engines. Even if you use your strong contractual position backed by the strength of contracts engineers, there is every chance that you may hit an iceberg in form of a bigger confrontational force. Hence, direction is more important to avoid a head-on collision and to steer around the iceberg.

We can assist you in training your team to develop an approach to avoid confrontation and safeguard the project’s interest by successfully managing the contractual issues that crop up during execution of large contracts.

Additionally, we can act as mediators for clients and contractors to amicably settle contractual issues. Our business exists based on 3 Us – unimpeachable integrity, unflinching commitment and unbiased approach; you can be sure of our neutrality.
