In order to be able to write the project accurately, the current status of the current PM and the requirements and needs for a future, standardized PM at the project and multi-project level had to be recorded in detail. For this purpose, a series of expert interviews with StMD stakeholders were conducted and the results were summarized and validated in a multi-day workshop. Furthermore, a detailed analysis of possible PM tools was prepared based on the requirements (technical and content).

In the context of the expert interviews and the workshop, we were able to support LEITWERK specifically with our methodology and moderation expertise. We were also able to draw a realistic picture of the status quo and the target image, which will be relevant for the implementation of the following phases. In addition, LEITWERK has succeeded in raising awareness of the importance of involving all stakeholders and showing that the introduction of a PM tool includes not only technical but above all also change management aspects.

As part of a comprehensive workshop series, relevant information was collected together with participants from different institutions. Based on these findings, a binding, chronological pattern plan for the successful management of storm damage has been developed. In addition, a communication strategy and concrete action instructions were developed for the affected actors in the event of a storm damage.

With the help of comprehensive and interactive workshop concepts, the status quo was quickly captured and an initial version of the sample schedule was created. By proactively resolving potential and existing conflicts between stakeholders, a large acceptance of active cooperation in the further development of the model roadmap was created. At the same time, it was possible to generate a high incentive among stakeholders to use the sample schedule independently in the future.
