Work Management Best Practices
The Methods to See Clearly
Upwards of 40% of projects fail, often due to inconsistent, sub-optimal daily and weekly practices. High performing companies see a 21x cost savings and a 268% ROI by investing in proven project and work management practices according to PMI. We’ll help you deploy the consistent, agile-based methods and routines to empower your team to accomplish more sooner with greater clarity, visibility and predictability.
The Systems To Accelerate
What is Work Management? Work Management is a systematic approach to orchestrating an organization’s workflows—be it a project, an ongoing process, or a routine task. It is the coordination of people and work across all levels of an organization to ensure everyone is aligned and equipped with the clarity, knowledge, tools, and support they need to complete more of the skilled work that matters most.
While Project Management focuses on the trees, Work Management focuses on the forest through the trees. It is a broad system, a way of approaching work and a set of methods for getting work done.
The Norms & Routines to Scale
As opposed to lengthy planning cycles, we maintain a strong bias to action, preferring a lean, agile approach centered on side-by-side collaboration, experimentation, adaptation and continuous improvement that reflects real-world needs and feedback. We’ve found this approach translates into faster delivery that better matches each client’s environment and goals. Leveraging technology to the fullest, we will implement and train your team on the consistent norms, habits, and routines practiced by today’s top performing organizations, tailored to the unique needs of your organization.
From weekly planning and tasking, to hand-offs, reviews, dependencies, QA, and approvals, we’ll install, train, and reinforce the sustainable methods and routines to help you and your team maintain clarity and alignment with fewer meetings and without the typical confusion and frustration.

We work with both your leadership and your front-line teams to design, deploy, and optimize at the ground level, achieving alignment, clarity, and buy-in at with an implementation and change-management plan everyone can get behind, one that minimizes disruption to your team’s existing work in progress.
Flexible Pricing Options
FlexScope™ Pricing
Weekly or Monthly Retainer
Ideal for teams in rapidly evolving environments with multiple simultaneous projects, where priorities often shift mid-stream, where flexibility and adaptation is important. FlexScope™ solutions are free from the inherent constraints of fixed scoped models where mid-course priority shifts can trigger stops and restarts caused by change orders and re-quotes as real world events, data, and feedback inform new decision making and adjustments in scope.
Pros
- Predictable weekly or monthly pricing
- Flexibility to change priorities on the fly without the need for change-orders and requotes
Cons
- More open-ended to reflect frequently shifting priorities and project deliverables
- Too many simultaneous projects can reduce focus and flow
Fixed Scope Pricing
Flat-rate Project Based
Ideal for teams with specific, targeted objectives operating in relatively predictable environments requiring fewer mid-stream priority shifts and course adjustments. Fixed Scope solutions offer pre-defined deliverables with clear starting and end-points with limited variability. Clients may switch between Fixed Scope and FlexScope solutions at any time.
Pros
- One flat price for specific pre-defined deliverables
- Increased focus on 1-3 mission critical projects
Cons
- Less flexibility to adjust priorities mid-stream
- Potential delays caused by re-quotes and change orders due to shifting requirements (scope)
