What is Project Management?

The Project Management Institute defines the subject as follows: “A project is temporary in that it has a defined beginning and end in time, and therefore defined scope and resources. Project management, then, is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities to meet the project requirements.”

Why is Project Management important?

The importance of Project Management lies with the steering of projects. It is essential to steer, document and execute projects' workstreams, milestones, deadlines and deliverables. Without Project Management a whole project team can be mis-leaded, work without guidance, feedback and purpose. Therefore, a project manager provides vision, motivation, coaching, and inspiration to the team in order to achieve their best work.

What is an Operational Review?

An Operational Review can be understood as a detailed look within the big picture. It can be performed from various angles but with the intent to provide an impartial view and an independent advice. Using data and factual elements helps the Operational Review to come up with recommendations. Such in-depth views enable facing challenges and defining SWOT.

Why are Operational Reviews important?

Everyone, institutions and humans alike, are living in an ever-changing environment. It is key for companies to challenge their organisational structure and processes regularly. Those "sanity" checks are usually driven by growth and change but are too often performed at a very late stage when no other alternative is possible (critical performance or regulatory requirements).

Performing Operational Reviews facilitates your differentiation on the market. Those exercises stress opportunities and identify problems with associated root causes. It also ensures to maintain compliancy, productivity and profitability at a competitive level.

What is Sustainable Finance?

The European Commission defines the subject as follows: “Sustainable finance generally refers to the process of taking due account of environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations when making investment decisions in the financial sector, leading to increased longer-term investments into sustainable economic activities and projects."

Why is Sustainable Finance important?
