Task and Implementation Management

Image

Traditional consulting is widely seen such that consultants present solutions to problems some organization is facing. In the mindset of PILLWAX Industrial Solutions Consulting, the word "problem" is describing a situation that some individual or organization has created by itself. So the solution to it lies within the individual or the organisation and we in our solution orientation are observers that are able to facilitate the own solution.

A new trend of Task Management is currently emerging on the market of consulting services, whereas this is being defined as a form of time limited support through external management capacity for implementing tasks that are already defined by the organization. What is called by others as Task Management, is part of our Project Companionship program here at PILLWAX Industrial Solutions Consulting.

This type of time limited service of a requirement to implement some idea or development within defined boundary conditions requires work within the organization and with it. And this may have forms such as:

  • Implementing new technology
  • Building projects from its idea to full implementation maturity
  • Modernisations of plant equipment or other type of technology
  • And any other form where the objective and the relevant boundary conditions - or the frame within the project shall happen - are already clearly defined

Performing project implementation in such environment requires collaboration between us and parts of your organization. Here is required to decide on amount and type of ressources the organization is able to contribute as that is a shaping criteria on implementation process itself. This closer involvement is beneficial to the buildup of relevant knowledge within the organisation along the course of implementation, however may be difficult to achieve as due to the attachment of teams or individuals to daily business routines. So a corresponding preparation phase together with us for such task implementation is preparing a much better starting position.

Such task oriented projects also require definition of the boundary conditions within the implementation shall proceed. As boundary conditions we understand the frame within all relevant activities shall happen. Now here is some vital point, where these boundary conditions might be tight or unfitting that the implementation of some task will render difficult or impossible. So task to achieve and boundary conditions require interrelating fit to allow and enable successful task management.

PILLWAX Industrial Solutions Consulting is offering Task and Implementation Management as part of our Project Companionship program for industrial organizations in the area of Plant Equipment and Technology, Automation and Information Technology.
