Your Past Projects Are The Best Consultant You Can Hire

Details

Session #2 of our Portfolio Governance webinar series tackles a costly habit: treating finished projects as closed files instead of a source of insight for what's next. You'll walk through the "empty chair" exercise, imagining your last five projects in the room and asking what they'd tell you not to do right now, then testing whether your team can answer with real data or just gut feel.

What you'll learn...

• Why finished projects are your most under-used asset — how scope changes, design iterations, and supply chain delays from past work can inform better decisions today, if the knowledge isn't lost.

• How to run the "empty chair" exercise — a practical technique for surfacing what your last five projects would warn you not to repeat, and testing whether your team can answer with data.

• How to move from Hero Trap to strategic readiness — shift from knowledge trapped in a few experienced people to a system that turns your delivery history into predictive insight.
