There is general consensus that poor project management is the main reason why many reform projects fail. But without systemic reform, districts cannot achieve breakthrough results for all students in all schools. ViKiwi’s president, Gee Kin Chou announced a new service that makes project management expertise available and affordable to every school district across the US. By addressing the main cause of project failure, ViKiwi can guarantee that strategic projects that are critical to systemic reform will have a greater chance of success.
Through schoolPME, Vikiwi provides school district project leaders the guidance and the tool to greatly improve the outcomes of their projects intended to achieve systemic reform, to make an immediate and sustained impact regardless of their project management experience, for a fraction of the cost of outside consultants. For less than $1000 per month, a project leader has unlimited voice and text access to a project management expert over the Internet, and use simple list management technology to organize the project, build and maintain a project plan, identify and resolve issues, control the risks, and strengthen stakeholder collaboration to keep the project moving in the right direction.
Chou said: “Many school districts know systemic reform depends on the success of their strategic projects, and they know project success depends on competent project management, but they do not have in-house project management expertise and they feel they cannot afford outside consultants. So they just hope and pray. Sometimes they are lucky, but often they are disappointed.”
Chou continued: “With schoolPME districts no longer have to make the hard budgetary choice. They can get the project management expertise to guarantee better results, for less than the cost of a consultant for one day.”
