Why we’re the leading Best Practice Consultancy in Africa

OUR CONSULTING SERVICES: Our Delivery Model

Snap Tech International’s consulting process begins with understanding your individual or company’s needs, agreeing the desired results with careful preparation, and then providing a defined schedule of engagements and workshops.

We understand that time is a precious commodity, and so use our Capability Improvement model to engage you and your team in knowledge transferring experiences where each workshop defines outcomes that lead to the agreed deliverables.

Best Practice, Delivered.

WHAT WE PROVIDE 04

Maturity assessments benchmark an organisation’s performance against criteria developed from best practice and allows for the development of improvement plans with measurable outcomes. Snap Tech is certified to carry out maturity assessments based on the P3M3 (Portfolio, Programme, and Project Management) Maturity Model, which is designed to enable organisations to understand their current level of maturity, and to highlight areas that would give them the most value and performance improvement in the short and long terms. The flexibility of the P3M3 Project Management Maturity Model allows for incremental and step change improvements in targeted areas.

We provide independent external review by a P3M specialist, and issues are raised and recommendations made providing the project or programme sponsor with a level of confidence that the project is being delivered according to the constraints of time, budget and quality. The end result is a position report on the strengths and weaknesses of the project or programme that can be used to implement the necessary changes to ensure successful delivery.

We offer guidance and advice on how to implement or re-energise your Portfolio, Programme and/or Project Support Offices by identifying key improvement areas, provide tools and techniques to run an effective delivery support office , and establish the Portfolio, Programme and Project Office’s Centres of excellence. Your portfolio and project support structure defines how well you select the right projects, and how well you will run them. Our engaging, accelerated approach starts with agreement of your requirements in a Terms of Reference, followed by knowledge transfer through outcome driven workshops.

Gain the ability to define and deliver benefits and plan the Road Map to implement required changes arising from identified improvement areas through our REV6 workshop approach. We show you how to define benefits and their measures, do strategy driven benefit mapping that “starts with the end in mind” by crafting the benefits you need to achieve in the strategy, before defining your initiatives. And how to embed this way of working into your organisation, making it a sustainable, ever maturing approach.

Our REV6 improvement workshops expertly steer the workshop team to achieve maximum results. A schedule is compiled and managed in a way that significantly reduces the cost of implementation by limiting the requirement for an on-site consultant, whilst also ensuring that the ROI is achieved, with actions derived from each workshop

This is for organisations only, in the private or public sector.

Our highly qualified and experienced consultants facilitate your project and programme methodology implementation, and help you get buy-in and acceptance of the new way of running projects from all your stakeholders. PRINCE2®, is internationally recognised as the “de facto” standard in project management and, with skilled PRINCE2 methodology implementation, this comprehensive design can  be tailored to meet any organisation’s specific needs and is designed to prevent unnecessary bureaucracy. In close co-operation with your management teams and project managers, the requirements, expectations and tailoring parameters are explored through facilitated workshops.

Why use an accredited consulting organisation?

Interim, Permanent and Contractual Placements

Team Strength Building & Leadership Development

As Richard Pharro, CEO, APMG-International points out -“APMG Accredited Consulting Organisations (ACOs) are an elite group of organisations that have undergone a rigorous assessment by APMG. To achieve accreditation they have had to prove their knowledge, experience and communication skills, achieved high examination scores in the products they are working with, and passed product knowledge interviews by independent subject experts. Finally, they have undergone surveillance and submitted client references. Which is why choosing to work with an APMG accredited consulting organisation is your guarantee of superior standards and an assurance of valid and trustworthy advice. As well as an extremely wise investment in the future of your company.”
