GPD delivers powerful services powered by the Project Design method and our collaborative platform called TeamPort, a solution for design, coordination and ongoing re-design of complex business initiatives, projects and programs. Research over the last two decades has steadily uncovered the gap between modern, complex programs and the utility of traditional planning methods. While complexity increases in products and the way organizations join to develop them, planning continues to analyze progress, costs, and risks according to traditional methods. Recent poor performance on critical programs reinforces that estimates of cost, schedule, and risk are less accurate as complexity increases. GPD's proprietary approach draws on breakthrough research and twelve years of proprietary development, and ongoing deployments in the Americas, Asia, and Europe. The integrated approach is rapid to deploy, leverages forward-looking simulations, and results in collaborative business awareness. Project Design as core capability leads organizations facing complex work to: * Design high quality plans * Build teams with situational awareness * Establish platforms for ongoing decisions
