What is TAM®?

TAM® came from the R&D work done at Stanford Research Institute which produced the "Stakeholders Concept and SWOT Analysis". It is designed to obtain the necessary agreement and commitment required to get fast results.

Benefits

If the rules are followed, TAM® ensures success. It is a unique multiple programme management system which solves the human problems of project management work. It overcomes traditional personality problems experienced when introducing changes. It can be used with any project management software programme or by itself to produce immediate and measurable results. A performance improvement between 25% to 50% can be expected because of fair play. It’s fast (38 hours) and proactive.

What's it for?

TAM is designed for use by the team leader i.e. Managing Director or a Project Manager to speed up and guarantee the success of any project. The method is used to overcome politics and the seven deadly people sins, and games that people play. Using TAM the executive can produce better budgets and profits. Acquisition or Divestment’s are easier. New Product Launches are more successful. Productivity throughout can be uplifted. Organisationally it can quickly produce MBO, Re-Engineering, Total Quality Management, Continuous Improvement Programmes, Quality Circles, achieve ISO 9000, ERP, and Investors in People, if any of these are of interest to the company.

TAM can be expanded into a comprehensive "Strategic Planning" system, with more accurate budgets and controls. The method overcomes the aggravations associated with sales forecasting, commitment and getting agreements between employees.

Its use is discretionary. The project leader, chairman, managing or functional director can decide to use it or not. It can be imposed on existing projects or on operating subsidiaries to give visibility, to increase control and accountability. The method is best used when more than one person or multi-skills are required for success. It works because the “truth of the matter” is revealed and decision made is based on honesty and true understanding. Results come from a new perception of “Fair Play”.

TAM can be applied to any function of the organisation, or project, located in any country in any language. It can be used to guarantee that the desired results are obtained.
