Stay on the right side of the Ledger

The data is in, and it’s grim. Almost 50% of projects fail to meet initial project expectations and have done so for as long as data has been collected.

This is despite the profession's understanding of what contributes to program and project success, the boom in certifications and the ‘Agile’ phenomena that is currently sweeping the world.

At Guava, we do things a little differently to ensure that your project lands on right side of the ledger

What We Do:

Our core service offering can be broken down into 3 Core Pillars:

Our Clients Say it Best

We’ve worked with some great organisations

GenU had a complex and difficult workplace relations matter to

resolve that required review and analysis over a multi-year

period and formal rectification.

The challenge is that this matter involved multiple parties to

work together on a work streamed approach to work to a

resolution. The obstacles were many -including legal, systems

and also shaping a solution to systemically address and

resolve the problem.

Guava was engaged to shape a project managed sprint

approach to enable all parties to impactfully work together, be

collectively accountable and to report the right information and

progress to all stakeholders.

The results with Guava leading this work were stunning. We

were able to resolve this matter and shape a solution that is still

in use today.

All stakeholders were super pleased to finally close this project

with such great success.

I would happily engage Guava for any or all projects for three

key reasons

1. They know how to professionally lead diverse stakeholders in

a way that empowers them to be a part of the solution.

2. Their project and program management methodologies are

nimble enough to apply in so many diverse environments

3. The Guava team -yes all teams members- are ALL highly

qualified and competent ..there is no weak link!

4. They are also fun to work with whilst being very clear on

delivering

Zemeel Saba. Executive General Manager People and Culture

Guava Project Consulting have been a god send to our

technology project environment. After the loss of some key

resources and needing to build experience, discipline and

improve processes, the Guava team were engaged to

reinvigorate the project controls and process for our

environment.

They quickly established a base line for the project and worked

through improving the knowledge and understanding of them

team. From there, their excellence in coaching and mentoring

skills really shone through.

The whole team has benefitted greatly from our engagement

with Guava Project Consulting, and I unequivocally recommend

them to any organisation looking to transform their project

environment.

When Data Action urgently required an experienced project

manager for a short-term engagement, Guava swiftly

answered the call. Their team provided us with a seasoned

professional who seamlessly integrated into our project,

requiring no handholding. The impact was immediate, injecting

new energy and momentum into our initiative.

Mark from Guava established monthly meetings with our PMO,

fostering a strong level of collaboration that resolved any

project-related challenges that surfaced.

Working with the Guava team was an absolute pleasure. I

highly recommend them.”
