Has progress stalled a few weeks or months into your project or JV? Are decisions slow to be made or being reprosecuted over and over, slowing delivery? Are the leadership team stuck in storming mode, with infighting and blame taking the focus and energy away from results? Is the wider team confused and lacking direction?
Would you benefit from a high-performing and aligned leadership team in your project or JV?
Failures of Leadership in Project and Joint Venture Teams
Even with a strong plan, major projects can fall over or struggle without aligned and skilled leaders in place, steering the course. Leaders for Project and JV teams are often pulled together from across their organisations combined with a number of external consultants or contractors. Often the leaders may never have worked together prior.
Team dynamics tells us that the leaders will enter a storming phase to establish who really has control of the project. This phase is chaotic, and if not managed well will result in ongoing mistrust, undermining and bickering amongst the leaders of the project. This flows onto the wider team negatively impacting delivery.
This is where our project and JV alignment program will help.

Our Project & Joint Venture Leadership Alignment Approach
Our tailored JV & Project Leadership alignment program has four phases.
At each stage your dedicated consultant will support and coach your leaders on improving individual performance and team dynamics. They will understand how to remove the ‘difficult’ and have productive supportive conversations. This will shift the leaders from being reactive to constructive, creating a high-performing project team.
PHASE ONE: DIAGNOSE
When projects are in distress, it can be challenging to uncover what’s really going on. Everyone has an opinion. Our first step is to understand the real issues for the project leadership and key project stakeholders.
PHASE TWO: DESIGN
Each project/JV alignment program is designed to address the specific challenges within the project. Together we tailor the content and structure of the program to meet your specific needs.
PHASE THREE: DELIVER
As the project/JV leaders step through the program, they will agree and align improving their leadership dynamic. The approach and expectations of each other will be documented in their project charter – a living document that defines exactly how the leadership team will work together.
PHASE FOUR: DRIVE
We provide the project/JV leaders with a mentor for ongoing support throughout the project lifecycle. This provides a safe space to release stress, discuss issues and identify opportunities with an external project leadership expert.
