Whatever project your organisation is launching - the rolling out of new products and services, improving customer experiences or business productivity - Half Double Certification can help.
Time after time, research reveals that only 30% of projects are successful*. Most projects simply do not result in the impact they intended to. The Half Double Institute is a non-profit foundation whose methodology addresses this problem. Working in conjunction with three universities and 2,500 of the best project managers in Denmark, their methodology was created after comprehensively researching why some projects are successful, but most fail. Trials of this methodology across 16 pilot projects in 16 different organisations, resulted in 87% of these pilot projects fulfilling or partly fulfilling the project success criteria. A vast improvement in project success.
Half Double focuses on three core principles – Flow, Leadership and Impact – which leads to greater value creation and this proven increase in project success rates. Change management is also embedded in the methodology.
Half Double training and certification will teach candidates simple tools and practices to take back to their organizations, enabling their projects to have more impact in less time.
Look at Half Double’s video case studies and find out how they have helped launch better products and services quicker and executed change faster. See how Half Double projects can be completed in less time, and result in double the impact.
