Triumph choose Provek as their strategic project management training partner through experience and expertise

Triumph chose Provek as their project management training provider following a rigorous selection process. Provek has become a trusted partner through demonstrating their expertise in understanding and addressing Triumph's real world challenges through bespoke training to all levels of the business.

PM framework and bespoke training

Triumph drew on Provek’s extensive project management experience in a highly consultative engagement to develop the Triumph Project Management Framework (TPMF) and to roll-out and support its adoption by sponsors, project managers and project teams.

The challenge

There was a requirement for multi-level project management training tailored and targeted to Triumph but based on best-practice. This was to support a need for increased project management capabilities and skills within Triumph and part of an overall business transformation programme. In support of this, there was also a need for specialist support in establishing an appropriate level of project management processes and governance.

The solution

A two-stage solution was implemented.

In the first stage, initial understand and plan activities including

Sponsor workshop
One-to-one stakeholder meetings
PMA online project management assessments
A review of existing process documentation

This enabled recommendations to be identified and a road map for Triumph PM capability development created. Further elements included develop the project management process and governance which was encapsulated within a Triumph Project Management Framework document.

Stage 2 comprised of

Creation and delivery of a bespoke four-day training for core project managers
Creation and delivery a one-day training course for the wider project teams

Support was also given to reviewing key documents produced by project sponsors and project managers in delivering their projects using the TPMF.

Additional focus in TPMF training has also been placed on the importance of the right behaviours displayed by senior managers and project managers, alongside deployment of the processes, in order to maximise and sustain the benefits from this project.

The benefits

Key benefits that Triumph gained from undertaking this project included

New projects have robust processes and governance around them.
Project managers have improved project management skills.
Recogntion by Senior management of the importance of their roles in supporting and promoting the benefits of TPMF.

Tom Geary, Head of Corporate Collaborations at Triumph Motorcycles Limited commented:

“At Triumph, our partner selection process demonstrated that there are many consultancies who can eloquently describe and deliver training in the various project management frameworks, but the true challenge for Triumph was to deliver cultural and behavioural changes to ensure project management activities were adopted and delivered true value. During the selection process it was evident that Provek were different from their competition; their understanding of our real-world challenges and their explanation of the critical need to deliver both the hard and soft skills stood them apart. Ultimately, this made the decision to work with Provek very straightforward, and the subsequent years of working together has proven this was the right choice. Provek have become a trusted partner to Triumph, delivering advise to our senior management team, coaching to our project managers, and of course, training to all levels of the business.”
