Crisis Management
Crisis management for construction projects
Many projects in the construction industry develop into non-performing projects over the course of their term because one or more of the project objectives “costs”, “deadlines” or “quality” have not been achieved or are no longer achievable.
The causes are manifold:
- Unrealistic goals
- Target changes in the course of the project
- Failures by those involved in the project
- Loss of funding
- Economic factors
- Ecological and social influences
Several factors often come together. A project objective has often already been missed before the project managers recognize the need for crisis management and implement it. If it is possible to implement countermeasures during the ongoing project, project target failures can be minimized and damage limited. Based on the Six Sigma system, we take on crisis management as well as consulting and coordination services during project stops in order to bring projects that have run into difficulties to a scheduled conclusion.
