PMCoach™ - Project Manager Mentoring

Introduction

PMComplete Pty Ltd can provide professional, independent, confidential and specialist mentoring for both groups of Project and Programme Managers from within a single enterprise as well as individuals.  Mentoring is the provision of assistance and support by one person to another to make a significant transition in knowledge, work or thinking.

Many very capable managers find that managing programmes and projects to be a critical transition from their previous roles.  New procedures and ways of thinking demanded by governance directives, unfamiliar tools and techniques, are often faced. Many enterprises under-estimate the magnitude of these challenges.

It is at these times that an expert mentor can commonly offer significant assistance:

  • Rapid transition to new processes and procedures
  • Critical decisions need to be made
  • Overcoming issues and blockages
  • Governance problems and politics
  • Career change and adjusting to a new role
  • Project initiation and planning
  • Project recovery

A professional mentor will allow you to realise the following benefits:

  • Knowledge and capability transfer
  • Best practice suggestions
  • Risk reduction
  • Improved decision making
  • Increased confidence
  • Access to a wealth of business and project knowledge and experience from someone who has been there and done it
  • Sharing of relevant and wide-ranging experiences
  • A valuable source of contacts and networking opportunities
  • Improved productivity
  • Improved focus
  • Improved morale
  • Improved personal effectiveness
  • Improved motivation

While formal training can go some way to addressing these issues, it can rarely be specific or timely to the individual's circumstances.

Mentoring can be provided in the following ways:

  • Face-to-face, one-on-one
  • As an expert member of a project or programme steering committee
  • By ad hoc or regular telephone support
  • By e-mail
  • Mentoring for a specific project or programme
  • By reviewing key project and business documents
  • Through capability transfer
  • Provision of related reference materials and artifacts
