Transcript - The Half Double Institute


too few projects are successful

00:02

one-third

00:03

that number is simply not good enough

00:10

there's a lot of things in in half

00:12

doppler that really excites me i think

00:14

the fact that it's it's been proven that

00:16

half double actually

00:17

paves the way for people involved in

00:20

project management how they can be more

00:22

successful

00:22

by simply creating more value more

00:25

impact

00:26

and even save time and resources while

00:28

doing it and that really excites me we

00:30

are in this

00:31

project factory mode where a lot of the

00:34

activities in daily life in a company

00:36

happens in the form of a project we saw

00:38

a need to upskill

00:40

competences in danish companies to be

00:43

more efficient more effective have more

00:45

impact

00:46

increase agility let's have a look at

00:48

the at the very best projects

00:50

and let's talk with some of the best

00:53

project people that we know

00:54

and in that way we created a whole

00:56

community of

00:58

fantastic people who helped us

01:01

develop the concept

01:03

[Music]

01:05

i'm pierce myvi i'm associate professor

01:07

here at august university

01:09

in specific situations and given

01:11

projects we are able to increase the

01:13

success rate

01:14

and we are able to speed up the project

01:16

at the core

01:18

of the half double methodology we have

01:20

impact flow and leadership

01:22

the reason it's so important to focus on

01:24

impact is that it clearly outlines

01:26

what will it take in order for the

01:27

project to be successful

01:29

in the impact session we have people

01:31

from all parts of the organization

01:33

it allows us to identify potential

01:35

pitfalls or opportunities

01:37

and by focusing on that we create speed

01:41

sprints create intensity and focus but

01:43

central to this

01:44

are the project room and visual planning

01:47

it's very motivating for team members to

01:49

get feedback that enables fast decisions

01:51

and fast decisions drive

01:53

constant progress my role has changed a

01:56

lot

01:56

the team can manage themselves so my

01:58

role is to make sure that they have the

02:00

right environment to execute a project

02:02

i can spend more time on finding new

02:05

opportunities instead of

02:07

discussing what we are doing

02:09

[Music]

02:14

so this is the latest result it has 50

02:16

longer battery time

02:18

it's 20 smaller in size so it's the most

02:20

comfortable experience we've ever

02:22

delivered

02:22

new products in the market in half the

02:25

time we cut down implementation time

02:27

with half double 30

02:28

from 59 weeks to 39 weeks

02:36

we have evaluated 16 projects using the

02:38

half double methodology

02:40

i would call it a promising result

02:44

[Music]

02:46

our wish and hope of course is that as

02:49

many companies as possible adopt this

02:51

new way of thinking and hopefully

02:52

it will spread to become a new standard

02:56

within how you run projects half double

02:59

is an

03:00

open a generic methodology which means

03:03

that it's

03:03

not business specific or sector specific

03:06

in any way

03:07

that's what's so ingenious and so

03:09

compelling about it

03:10

get some impact see how it works

03:14

nice and then you work from there it's a

03:16

game changer
