Case Study:
Gannett Fleming Recovers $9 Million in Previously Lost Profits
“Gannett Fleming started working with PSMJ on a comprehensive, customized PM training program. Prior to that, we had been doing most of our PM training in-house.
Despite our best efforts, we were realizing persistently large negative variances on our projects. So our primary goal was to reduce these. Another important goal was to increase our already high levels of client satisfaction. There were also some important secondary objectives, such as reducing DSO days, etc.
These goals formed the basis for a highly customized program. PSMJ also helped us to focus on systematically implementing the lessons learned in this training program and imbedding them into our day-to-day operational practices.

Gannett Fleming
The single most significant cultural change for Gannett Fleming was the implementation of Project Principal review meetings. This activity led to the creation of an in-house Project Health and Resource Management application used to document project health based on PM assessments and the results of these review meetings.
As a result of these efforts, we have consistently reduced negative variance and increased positive variance to the point where our negative variance is now totally offset by our positive variance. Our project budget improvements have been large and contribute towards our investment in the training program. We have also measurably improved our client satisfaction evaluations.
We have found PSMJ to be very helpful, knowledgeable and totally professional during our long relationship and recommend them to anyone who desires to improve project budget performance and client satisfaction.”
