| We are too busy to do this right now | If this means too busy fighting fires, you need to get your project under control. |
| We don't have enough business coming through right now to need this | Work on standardising projects to reduce proposal preparation time. |
| We will hire project managers to do this | Your project managers will need an ecosystem, documentation and project standards to work within. |
| We don't think we have any issues | Congratulations you have a PMO. Is it giving the results you want ? |
| We already have Project managers. | Do you still have problems with
- Resourcing ?
- Skills ?
- Project delays ?
- Project Escalations ?

| We are under price pressure and can not add more costs | Increasing efficiency, identifying waste and driving excellence are an essential response to price pressure. |
| It will be too expensive | A 5% efficiency increase (waste reduction) with 50 people is equivalent to finding 3 more staff. |
| More administration will impact our flexibility | You increase your flexibility to act by having the tools and information to respond quickly and efficiently to crises. |
