Guthrie needed a consistent and streamlined method for requesting projects and submitting ideas.

Results
Projects are now staffed with appropriate resource levels. The tools are easy to use and understand, so employees were able to start using them with minimal training and on-boarding.
Partner
Innovative-e
Innovation in healthcare and in project management
Project intake and initiation was haphazard. Projects were being requested ad-hoc via hallway conversations. There was no standard way to request a project and many great project ideas never surfaced. The circumstances became cumbersome and fell on two people to maintain project status using Excel and homegrown software. A consistent method and system were needed to address these issues.
Using Innovative-e's three-step approach
Guthrie partnered with Innovative-e, a leading MS Gold PPM partner. Using Innovative-e’s three-step approach; Foundation, Process Enablement, and Success Management, Guthrie realized quick wins and long term benefits.
