I think Sheffield United seriously need to employ a senior project manager, they do things well, but their timing is woeful and they miss so many opportunities because of how badly timings are organised. If they had someone scheduling change and analysing risk and issues, they'd create more revenue. The role would pay for itself.
Agree, and don’t want to say too much as I have only had conversations but not lived the day-to-day there. The issue as I see it is at the strategic delivery level. I.e the role(s) with accountability to deliver the agreed strategy. At that level the culture is not that managed delivery of strategically-aligned change is a specialist skillset beyond appointing a generic manager who is “well organized”. They don’t buy into it at all. Below that level, the people in delivery roles can only operate in the culture that is set and enforced. They do seem to do their best.
Disagreeing is great. Be no point in the forum if everyone thought the same way.
Completely agree our PR from the board has been woeful since Hecky was appointed full time. We were told at that presser it would be reigned right back which has caused a lot of confusion and disatisfaction and understandably so.
Yeah I can imagine that, it would be a start to have someone who can highlight risks and issues as a starter, someone who tries to assist aligning strategic delivery and then hopefully that helps develop a culture from within itself. If Ops Managers are expected to just do it themselves I'm not surprised there's a poor culture, they have their own priorities and will end up in disagreement if another department tries to tell them what to do, but if you have a PM who can come at it from a neutral perspective and some governance to say how risks and issues are resolved and escalated, you might get more people pulling in the same direction.
Majority starts at 50.1%, ends at 100%. So I haven't invented anything.
I think you'd pass the job interview...
I don't think anyone is slating all and sundry at the club. There's a clear and recognised difference between the great job that Hecky has done on the field, compared to that being done off it. Without the on field events going so well, we'd be in even more turmoil now.
I agree to some point but do see some pitfalls with employing a Project Manager and all that entails (if following full procedures and paperwork/documentation etc.). I've been a PM and a PgM in the past and found a few PM's became too rigid and protective of their own Project only. Far too many slow any transformation and thus become less agile, due to strict time consuming governance - not always a bad thing but a balance needs to be had. PM's tend to work better with absolutes (imo) - dates, cash, personnel. In the past some work really well - eg installing a new piece of machinery or new build, but in other cases where the preffered outcome is know but the path is muddled then some PM's can struggle. |
Completely agree. But a conversation like the above just didn’t happen. They didn’t see the risk/reward of needing to employ a specific skillset or experience (as you‘ve alluded to) in order to deliver the outcomes. It wasn’t about being burned in the past with rigid approaches etc, just an absolute lack of belief the existing way needed to change.
It does sound short sighted not to have someone with an overall view with the relevant skill set - maybe they hired the wrong people on the past, who knows.
I'm still waiting for you to show me a single one where I use 99%! Don't pretend you haven't read numerous posts just ranting with no back up facts.

I talked through the 99% thing but happy to accept that it was my interpretation of what you said
So misquoting/inventing things that weren't said or inferred is how you roll.
Ah, pretending you've been completely misquoted and misunderstood. The last attack of the person with nothing to actually add.
There's no pretending, just your inability to quote anything where 99% appears. You can't because it dosen't exist, rather like your ability to debate with credibility.
Try reading earlier posts. In a nutshell rather than base criticisms on credible and justified events a good number prefer the pitchfork and burning torch approach to the club.
You’re not debating. You’re leaning on one point I’ve already clarified to try and hide the fact you have nothing worthwhile to say
Anyone on the forum a tradey - Front shirt sponsors Clive and Son Roofing on the back Pete's Plumbing Services.... Sorted!
