Recently on a turnaround project we had to develop a way to bring a remotely based   existing team together to complete a project in the middle of Lockdown 3.0. With Covid having delayed the project significantly the team needed to relaunch and start to put in place high performing behaviours to complete the project.

​Using the team canvas an online workshop was developed and using MS Teams and Miro the workshop was delivered online using the approach (keo_consult_team_canvas_workshop.pdf) outlined above.

Project now underway again and the team looking forward to getting boots and hard hats on again onsite. ​

Residential Investment Appraisal
Figure 1 - Approach to review a portfolio of projects
In Ireland, the past 18 months have been characterised by much uncertainty and a number of stops and starts in the construction industry. In particular since January 2021, there has been significant construction cost inflation resulting in increases and uncertainty in forecast development costs for projects due to these escalating costs. Decision makers need to have a range of tools available to decide which projects to prioritise, particularly when delays occur and assumptions change as they have done in the past 12 months.
 
With significant changes in project assumptions during Covid, not least changes in timing, costs and revenues, there may be possible knock-on impact on other projects. You need to be able to consider how to prioritise projects in a portfolio. This paper (download here) illustrates an approach to prioritisation of a portfolio of projects with a case study on a residential development.

Relaunch post Covid-19 - A 2-Step Approach To Turn Around Paused Projects.

21/9/2021

Projects are an iterative process of planning, doing and reviewing. From time to time despite the best intentions projects get into trouble and you have to step in to review what is going wrong and put a new plan in place to deliver a project. With the stop start impact of the Covid pandemic on a range of capital projects it may be necessary to but a new plan in place for a delayed project,
 
The following outlines a 2-step process to strategically review a project and then once the review is complete to create a turnaround plan to deliver the project.
 
The approach can of course be used as a checklist at the beginning of a project to make sure that all resources are in place to deliver a project and that a robust plan is in place to deliver certainty.

Now that the dust is settling on the launch of the "Housing For All' programme it is interesting to look at some of the key assumptions that underpin the strategy
