“The shortest distance between two points is a straight line”  — Archimedes

All businesses have processes, procedures or protocols for defining how to reach their goals. Whether it's a financial accounting goal of moving invoices through the AP process more quickly, manufacturing a widget, or the capital development process to build a new building, there are always tasks associated with reaching the goal.  Everything we do in life can be broken down into tasks, and by grouping them together we can call it a project.

And so it is with project management. Project management is a series of tasks grouped together beginning with the Alpha and ending with the Omega. In order for your business to be successful, all owner's should periodically study their process to determine what works, what doesn't and implement change to reduce wasted resources; financial, material, labor or other, and improve the "bottom line."

We believe every process must be linear. It should neither have highs nor lows, and your process should not take you along a circuitous route. If either of these are the case, your policies, procedures or protocols are not efficient and your process should be reevaluated to identify where improvements are needed to eliminate waste.

At Trauth, LLC we examine our client's project development process from a different and outside perspective using critical thinking and analytical problem solving skills to identify opportunities for enhancement, and implement fiscally responsible solutions delivered on-time and within budget — after all, sometimes you can't see the forest through the trees.
