Symon Riley: potential conflict
|
GLOBAL CONSULTANCY: Atos KPMG Consulting
Interviewee: Symon Riley, consultant.
Q1. Relationship.
A: PSA and project management can fit together cleanly
and efficiently, so in that sense they dovetail. However,
there can be a significant overlap between solutions providing
PSA and project management, and in that sense they can also
conflict.
This is not meant to be a mysterious response: the reason
for the apparent contradiction lies in the changing nature
of the tools offered. The PSA and project management toolkit
is evolving because the tools available do not solve (and
never have solved) all the current problems, and because the
tools themselves have different origins.
The companies who roll out PSA and project management solutions
are generally not greenfield sites in technology terms and
will have various answers to some of the issues that the new
PSA or project management solutions will be looking to alleviate.
Thus any new solution will invariably overlap, specifically
by ‘solving’ problems already solved by the current systems,
so there is an immediate potential conflict between the tools.
