Today's business must navigate an ever-evolving landscape, turning to project management as the tool that helps organisations adapt and grow. 

In this Malekso team discussion, Senior Consultant Ken Kramme leads a roundtable conversation on the practice of different project management methodologies, their benefits and drawbacks focusing mainly on the waterfall, and agile-scrum approaches. In this podcast, Ken also outlines some of the most important factors to consider before adopting any of these approaches in order to mitigate the risks associated with starting a new project whilst maximising productivity.

We dive deep into this topic, providing valuable insight for the business owner and project management practitioners out there!

Embracing a new era:

In this episode, Malekso’s group of consultants talk about the importance of technology and the urgent need for businesses to implement it in this ever-changing world. It is important to understand that if the world was to be hit by COVID-19, it is actually positive that we were hit in today's modern world, as opposed to 30 or 40 years ago. Why? Listen to the podcast to find out!

Importantly, this digital transformation topic is one that concerns most business owners, especially those ones that have been running their business for many years without much change or evolution. They often wonder, 'how should I embrace technology and transition into the digital era'?

If this sounds like you, get yourself a drink, sit back and tune in.

In this episode, Peter and Malekso's group of consultants approach a topic of great interest amongst business' owners during the global COVID-19 pandemic: Should marketing efforts and investments be reduced due to decreased appetite from a consumer point of view?

The short answer: no, do not cut back or pause your marketing activities; we now have an unprecedented audience as a result of the social distancing and home confinement currently being practised in Australia.

However, there are a number of elements that you need to consider before you keep going with your marketing activities - given that success with marketing is not about how much do you spend on activities, but rather, how smart you are with your spend!

Make yourself comfortable and get ready to learn about marketing best practices to put in place during rough times!

Thank you to the Malekso team:

In this episode, the Malekso team of experts discuss the different perspectives and/or approaches for managing projects in challenging environments. What should you do when organisations are forced to cut on expenses, leading to postponing project plans or even in some extreme cases cancelling entire projects? How do you manage the stop start nature of project work that can be encountered in times like COVID?

Fortunately, from a strategic point of view, there are a number of factors to be considered before making important project decisions, including considerations such as the value of the project for the business, and the effort, cost and associated risks to completing the project.

Lastly, the team advises on some parameters to bear in mind when choosing a project management approach for your project, including discussions on waterfall and agile methodologies.

So take a seat, prepare a drink and be ready for some interesting conversations!

Thank you to the Malekso team: 

With the COVID-19 outbreak, uncertainty has taken over people and businesses who do not know how to react or what to do with the measures taken by their local/national governments.

In this podcast, Peter Spinda objectively explores the current landscape and shows you that even if the situation is bad, there are a number of things you could do today to prepare you and your business to better ride through this period, and better prepare for the post-COVID life; including preventing the same situation from catching you off guard in the future.

So grab a coffee/tea, sit back and tune in!!!
