Project Sponsor
Why do we need this?
Projects are much more complex than they were 5 years ago. The number of electrical outlets on each desk has risen by 500%, the environment and security systems are more sophisticated and value engineering of the base build is making fit-outs ever more complex.
More and more projects are over-running on time and cost and it is the client who pays.
The Role
The Project Sponsor’s role is becoming increasingly important on major projects. The role is a strategic one and the job is to focus and assist the Project Manager on to what is required to be completed on the project.
He/she is an extra assistant to the Project Manager, who co-ordinates and manages the client (who can be made up of 50-60 individuals working for the client company around the globe) leaving the Project Manager to concentrate on the contractors and designers.
The Advantages
The Project Sponsor is your policeman on the project. A good project sponsor will be essentially FREE because the project savings and improvements in delivery will be far greater than the fee.
