Top engineering consultancy services today? The flow of communication affects the flow of a construction project. Problems and delays can occur when people stop communicating or responding to inquiries. When everyone is communicating effectively and efficiently, it leads to better collaboration and projects tend to run smoother. Whether you’re managing one project or multiple projects, it’s easy to get bogged down with everything that needs your attention. Don’t try and do everything at once. Multitasking isn’t a skill anyone can master. Trying to juggle too many things at once will often lead to mistakes or errors in judgment that will lead to even bigger problems. Instead, prioritize issues and problems in a way that makes sense and works for you. For some, it might be easier to tackle the smaller issues first and then focus on the larger problems. Others may decide to take on the issues that will have the biggest impact on the project whether that be financial, lost productivity, or something else. Spend time working with your project team to develop a game plan to address the issue and avoid unnecessary downtime or delays. If you’re constantly running around trying to put out fires you won’t be able to properly manage your project.
How do project managers spend their time? Many in the workforce agree that email occupies a significant amount of time spent during the workday. This article from Huffington Post found that workers spend 3.2 hours on average on work emails per day. The construction project managers we interviewed fell in line with this finding. Of the 17 project managers who responded to the question “How many hours per day do you spend on emails to and from your team?”, the average response was 3.02 hours. The median response was 3 hours flat. Talking numbers, this adds up to an average of 72 emails per day, with a median of 50. So, if you find yourself spending significantly more than three hours clearing out your inbox on a daily basis, you may want to explore methods to cut back on the number of emails you’re sending to your team.
More than ever, most companies, large and small, national, or international, are under increasing commercial pressure. The reduction in income for many due to the recent pandemic and various levels of lockdowns has meant that budgets have been cut, internal resources reduced and the timescales to complete a project are becoming ever more challenging; yet still, an increase in productivity is demanded. Today’s businesses cannot always provide the focus and time to deliver projects effectively when the day to day need to concentrate on the supply chain, production issues, and profitability of the business are clearly more important. Businesses are struggling to find the right expertise and skill base at the right stage of a project, and as a consequence, suffer additional and unplanned costs, delays, and technical problems on projects through poor conception, planning, purchasing and project delivery.
