I want to mitigate my project's integration risks.

Nobody likes red flags on a project schedule. However, some risks are unavoidable and at the very least we, as project managers, try to predict and quantify them, incorporating them in the risk management plan accordingly.

That's all very straight forward with true risk, that is "known unknowns" - things we know that we don't know. As we are all aware, this is significantly harder (if not impossible) to achieve when dealing with uncertainty - that is "unknown unknowns" - things we don't know that we don't know.

Collective experience indicates to us that integration implementation tasks are seldom recognised for the risk they truly represent to the schedule. Inclusion as a line item on a risk and issues register doesn't necessarily help when an integration activity spirals out of control - with far reaching consequences to dependencies across the project.

How many project scopes have you seen reigned in as a result of having to cut integration activities well short of their planned success targets?

We advocate an approach whereby these tasks are recognized for the R&D component they inevitably contain and the level of uncertainty this contributes to the schedule. Having identified the risk, we say: outsource it.

Olinqua's reason for being is to assist you mitigate these risks and uncertainties. Given our revolutionary technology, globally recognized experts and over a decade of specific experience, we are well suited to bearing this risk on your behalf.

Our combination of support and technology enables your implementation team to meet significant implementation milestones faster, through a tighter and easy to monitor process, and with more predictable results. We like to call it "useful" use.

Keep control of your schedule.  Contact us to find out how we can help.
