About Klarad
The first Project Management firm built on a "conscious" business approach
The Origins of Klarad Management
Klarad Management was founded in 2008 after the realization that the quality of Project Professionals was generally not sufficient enough to meet the demands of most modern Programs and Projects. Klarad initiated the exercise of compiling a catalog of the top local and international Project Leaders its founders worked with, for or under. The purpose was two-fold:
1- The first was to have a reliable list of proven Project Leaders available for hire, based on project type, skill set and geography. PM's on this list are those whom we know, no cold calling or blind references sourced our personnel recommendations. Circulation of these names to our group of trusted contributors ensured that the most accomplished and trustworthy Projects Leaders would continue to be employed in common circles. By providing organizations names and references of great Project Leaders for hire, Klarad had built long lasting relationships with PMs and thought leaders in many organizations.
2- The relationships made between Project Leaders and the organizations who hired them have not been limited to work engagements. Klarad has brought industry leaders and PMs together in its voluntary Industry Panel. This panel facilitates inter and cross industry discussions that focus on Project Management in multiple market segments. These same panels also allow for PM's to share information. Hence PM's, Industry Leaders and Klarad all win.
Why is Klarad different from other Project Management Firms?
1 - Unlike the vast majority of Project Management firms, Klarad was founded by Project Managers. These professional PM's identified a need to serve different industries via highly reliable Project Managers.
2 - Klarad's Panel members continue to provide Project Management services directly to clients. We don't just operate from the sidelines!
3 - Klarad's is not a volume driven firm. Our number of engagements is relatively low and dependent on PM availability. We will never source unknown PM's to our clients. If we do not have available resources to provide, we will let you know. Our focus is securing a long serving client relationship via quality of service supplied.
4 - Klarad only sources PM's through their existing list of proven PM's or through personal recommendation of our Industry Panel. We do not accept cold calls from unknown PM's seeking work engagements.
5 - Our PM's aren't just "hired guns". Every one engaged is encouraged to be part of the Klarad Industry Panel that exchanges ideas and experiences. These interactions enable us to disseminate knowledge internally and on the job site.
Conscious business practice is how Klarad chooses to operate
Klarad Management's primary goal is to provide the opportunity for great Project Leaders to serve great client organizations. We look at our clients and PM's as equal stakeholders. One truly has difficulty maximizing potential without the other. Beyond work engagements, we invite both client and PM's to join our Industry Panel and to share their breadth of knowledge with other PM's and client representatives. By working together and sharing vital information, every stakeholder will directly and positively influence the future of every other stakeholder.
We look forward to partnering with you in the near future!
