SWOT Analysis for CH2M Hill Strengths
CH2M Hill has many strengths within the company; some of which will be identified in this section. CH2M Hill is a well established brand name with lots of successful Government projects and private projects including the Program Management of the Olympic venues for the 2012 London Olympics. The company has a well defined code of ethics, outlined in “Jim’s Little Yellow Book”, that each employee should follow and an anonymous hotline, The Guideline, to notify the company of observed ethics violations. CH2M Hill is employee owned through an internal common stock market, giving the employees buy-in into policies and procedures (BUS100mottariano, n.d.). The company has a diversified revenue stream utilizing various areas of expertise in several engineering aspects. CH2M Hill offers full-service capabilities in various business components, among three key operating divisions, Water, Energy & Facilities; Government, Environment & Infrastructure; and International. Business groups served include: Water; Transportation; Operations and Maintenance; Government Facilities and Infrastructure; Nuclear; Environmental; Energy and Chemicals; Power; and Industrial and Advanced Technology. CH2M Hill developed, upholds and brings out its own process for organization projects for clients, called the CH2M HILL Project Delivery System. This system is such a comprehensive proven system that other firms have engaged CH2M Hill for training and a book has been publish by the firm on the process (Free SWOT Analysis, 2013).
Weaknesses
Along with its strengths, CH2M Hill also has weaknesses that it needs to overcome to maintain its level of success. The company is rather large and occupies many offices around the world making it difficult to enforce the code of ethics it is so known for in the industries it serves. CH2M Hill has difficulty ensuring compliance to regulations while performing work in so many different states and countries, opening it up to fines and lawsuits. The

    The Orion Shield Project Analysis

    “Projects account for about one fourth of the U.S. and the world’s gross domestic product” (Schwalbe 2012). With that said, there are many challenges and issues that hinder the ultimate success or completion of a project. So is evident in the case of the Orion Shield Project, whose execution faced issues of technical, ethical, legal, contractual and interpersonal natures. Taking on a role that assumes responsibilities in stark contrast to newly appointed project manager Gary Allison’s professional background and experience doomed the project from the start. Not only did Gary not have the experience, he failed to research and prepare himself, prior to the project’s inception, with the proper project management tools and techniques that are pertinent to the success of a project. The ethical issue of false promise, regarding the maximum temperature at which the shield could operate successfully, was apparent before planning had begun and the role of project manager was officially accepted by Gary Allison. This dishonest proclamation was unsettling to Mr. Allison but he failed to voice his concerns, therefore perpetuating his anxiety and lack of confidence of the projects success. Technical issues, straying from strictly scientific measures which were Mr. Allison’s sole forte, existed in the execution (or lack thereof) of project milestones. Contractual issues arise when Gary and is team failed to follow contract protocol and policy, regarding problems with communication and weekly data share amongst all stakeholders as well as manufacturing delay demands, and cost overruns. Legal issues tie into the contractual breaching that served as a continuous theme of Gary’s non-cohesive managerial process. Interpersonal or social issues continued to surface and resurface with the lack of initiated data share, communication, and responsiveness amongst all the project stakeholders. While, ultimately, Gary…

    Operations Centralized Project System

    Corporate Strategy Analysis: An operations related project management “current to desired” gap analysis has lead the VP of Operations to conclude that there is a need for a centralized project management system that captures and prioritizes all existing and future operations related projects. With this being confirmed by the other senior management and the CEO, it was determined that a centralized PMO was needed to obtain the current set business goals as well as support the planned growth. It was determined that the director of engineer that supervised and managed all previous projects for the last ten years would be named the new director of the PMO. His first project in this new position will be to develop an Operations Centralized Project System (referred to as OCPS). This document is a proposal outlining the system including the capturing of all current operations related projects, training, sequence of events and timeline. The projected time frame is twelve months from initiation to completion with 5 decision making milestones of:…
