Bio 

 

Keith O’Shea is a Senior Consultant and Managing Director of QTC Consulting Pty Ltd based in Perth, Western Australia, which consists of a team of highly specialised and experienced: Program, Project and Business practitioners. QTC's practitioners will travel to your location. Keith’s focus is on assisting organisations to improve their program and project performance through the application of methodologies, tools, training, mentoring and coaching. The QTC Training & Education project management courses can provide a pathway into Curtin University and/or Edith Cowan University.

A Project Audit provides an opportunity to uncover any issues, concerns or challenges that are or may be encountered in the execution of a project. It provides the Executive, the Project Sponsor and the Project Manager an interim view of what has gone well and what needs to be improved within the project, to successfully complete it. If done at the close of a project, a project audit can be used to develop success criteria for future projects by providing a forensic review. This review will provide an opportunity to learn what elements of the project were successfully managed and which ones presented some challenges. This will help the organisation identify what it needs to do, so that mistakes are not repeated on future projects. Keith O’Shea PhD is available to travel to your location to undertake project audits.
