Project Set-Up for Success

What it is

Project Set-Up for Success is a concept that Colab is renowned for.

Projects frequently hit a standstill immediately after an idea has been agreed upon, leading to a frantic search for someone to take charge. Often, an “Accidental Project Manager” emerges—typically the individual who happened to be closest to the project at the time.

Consequently, the project tends to shift from one person to another, with feedback often labeled as “in progress” for the duration of the project.

Our philosophy is that “Projects don’t end wrong, they start wrong”.

Projects require clear structure and direction to gain momentum and progress effectively.

The key to starting a project successfully is to align stakeholders around a clear focus and defined scope boundaries of what you aim to achieve. This involves crafting an execution approach, establishing a structure of responsibilities, and planning out the detailed tasks needed to deliver the project scope.

At Colab, we use a structured, facilitated approach that sets up challenging projects for success within a month, incorporating all the essential components needed for successful execution. This method is the fastest way to transition a project from stagnation to productive momentum, eliminating the lengthy and often painful planning phase.
