Project and Portfolio Management

We get it. We’ve all been on the receiving end of a project that has blown out and not delivered what was promised. We want to change that by asking the tough questions. How are we really travelling with the delivery of this project; with all projects? Where are our risks, how can we help and who do we need to influence?

Without this level of confidence & transparency, we’re unable to promise our business owners confidence in the company’s global competitiveness.

With confidence in project output, you can now predict your project spend, your delivery schedule, your project and business risk and therefore keep your focus on the company productivity agenda; which will enhance your competitive edge in a global market.

A Single Source of Truth

Focus HQ manages all project data through a simple and intuitive interface providing embedded reporting tools, giving you a single source of truth for your organisation’s projects. Everything is managed in one platform (ideas, delivery, benefits & roll-up reporting), which is proven to enhance corporate memory. Importantly, the data in the platform is live, which means that both C-suite executives and project managers can enter and interrogate data in real time, fostering a culture of accountability and facilitating cultural change for delivery success.

Some of the key features of Focus HQ include:

• Being the only single PPM platform that captures and tracks the business case from start to finish of the entire delivery cycle
• Once configured, it takes less than 2 hours to train users with or without project delivery experience
• No double handling of data – once your data is input, reports are automatically created, avoiding the risk of data manipulation
• Supporting your business drive through deliberate, predictable, aligned and pragmatic project delivery practices and providing outcomes across your entire business operation
• Confidence with an information output that is true and accurate, and supports your business Executive Group in timely, reliable decision making
• Transparency – allowing you to easily track all of your project’s capital expenditure and operational expenditure from the big, the small, the simple, the complex and agile in one easy to use software facility
• Control – you can mandate and automatically track how your teams are delivering against a desired governance framework
• Results – offering each project’s alignment which are mapped to your business strategy outcomes and scenario planning, meaning a project will not be signed off until all benefits are realised.

Solution Overview

Focus HQ’s Project Portfolio Management (PPM) delivers a holistic SaaS project portfolio management tool that provides clarity and transparency to C-suite executives who can manage and align projects of any size from strategic inception, through delivery and to the end of benefits realisation. Focus HQ manages all project data through a simple and intuitive responsive application interface with embedded reporting tools to act as a single source of truth for your organisation’s projects.

Being designed around the philosophy “the ultimate complexity is in simplicity”, Focus HQ is extremely easy to implement. An average Project Manager will require less than 2 hours per week maintaining project data. Reports are all automatically generated, and because the data is maintained in the “single point of truth” solution then there is no confusion around a Projects real status. Therefore when the C-Suite Executive is looking into the single “imperative” system on a Monday morning, they can be comforted around the fact that the integrated data and reports represent an accurate and transparent picture of the project and they can immediately focus on what needs to be done.
