Root Cause

A group of experts came together in Q1 2025. They asked the question “what are the foundations to the project process”

They identified a number key root causes. Addressing them gives us a shot at transformational improvement

These challenges, were turned into values drive everything you see on this website.

The solution in two words is, we need to focus on Success Factors.

🎯 The Challenge

Few frameworks ask for rules of thumb. That is, the secret hacks we all carry around with us. We often miss practical and direct ways of working that people use all the time.

💡 The Value

Focus on what we know works, from our own learned experience.

  • Identify and put the most important things front and centre.
  • Apply what research tells us are the most important things.
  • Help people to identify and develop their own success factors.
🎯 The Challenge

Many frameworks are trying to do a lot; they either miss what’s important or lose wisdom in the detail. You shouldn’t have to do a week course just to understand how to take the first step.

💡 The Value

Be practical and usable, value simplicity over complexity.

  • Put the most important things front and centre.
  • Use plain language and provide clear, practical actions.
  • Be universal, works with any framework, process, or method.
🎯 The Challenge

Too much focus on productivity and being busy. Focus is too often lost. It should be on results, on delivering value.

💡 The Value

Put outcomes front and centre.

  • Encourage people to work with the end in mind.
  • Help people get more value from their effort.
  • Help people get their outcomes (big things & changes) done faster.
