Project Management
We understand what it is like to run projects in small to mid-size charities and social enterprises.
​
Over and over, we see...
​
-
Limited resources: Small charities often have limited resources, which can make it difficult to implement and maintain traditional project management processes. This can lead to projects being poorly planned, executed, and monitored.
-
Lack of expertise: Small charities may not have the staff or expertise to implement traditional project management methodologies. This can lead to projects being managed inefficiently and ineffectively.
-
Lack of buy-in: Traditional project management methodologies can be complex and time-consuming. This can make it difficult to get buy-in from staff and volunteers, which can lead to resistance and problems with implementation.
-
Difficulty adapting to change: Traditional project management methodologies are often rigid and inflexible. This can make it difficult for small charities to adapt to change, which can lead to projects being delayed or even canceled.
-
Focus on outputs rather than outcomes: Traditional project management methodologies often focus on outputs rather than outcomes. This can lead to projects that are delivered on time and within budget but that do not meet the needs of beneficiaries.
​
In addition to these general challenges, small charities may also face specific challenges with traditional project management depending on their size, location, and mission. For example, charities that operate in remote areas may have difficulty accessing project management resources, while charities that serve diverse populations may need to adapt their project management methodologies to meet the needs of different cultural groups.
