Retail Project Management
What we’re really passionate about is empowering people for change and contributing to elegant technical solutions that really get to the heart of solving problems, whether they’re for the end consumer or the people that work in a business.
We’ve delivered projects for some of Australia’s most well-known retailers. The 6R team work behind the scenes supporting the retailer through project management, testing, training and change management, before, during and after roll out.
We have worked with a wide variety of systems and wholeheartedly believe that, irrespective of the provider, the tech should work with the people that need to use it. It should also solve some business problems, improve processes or deliver a better result for customers. Technology that doesn’t make things better, is really just a waste of energy all round.
Technology projects take a lot of work, and so often, can be all about Gantt charts, task lists and timelines; these things are important and a project should not be without them. However, in our experience, we believe that it’s peoples’ capacity to see the need for the change that creates significant shifts and is actually what makes a project succeed.
Whilst we are concerned with the operational detail of getting stuff done, we also bring the a more strategic overview, that comes from having worked in the industry and done the job ourselves.
Our greatest concern is for the people and processes that support the technology we are working with. We love it when people inside an organisation step up to their potential and break through their own barriers to change.
From years of experience in what works and what doesn’t, we have developed a clear and simple framework and a light project toolkit that focuses on each phase in a project and connects people with purpose. The Retail Project Management services that we offer including testing, training, change management, before, during and after rollout.
What can businesses do to set themselves up for success?
As with many things it does come down to a mindset and preparedness.
Some key aspects to focus on:
1. A clear vision that explains why… and be open to all the whys that follow
In a change project there are lots of WHYS; there are questions about the way we do things and whether it’s the best way. Of course the underlying assumption is that there are better ways or there wouldn’t be a change project.
