Executive Sponsor
To reduce potential project roadblocks, an executive sponsor is critical. This person is responsible for the overall project direction and success. Once objectives, expectations, and directions are outlined, this member of your team should have the credentials and credibility to eliminate project roadblocks by finding and connecting the necessary people to achieve project success. This individual engages with both Quest and hc1 executives and project management to ensure business alignment and addresses any barriers that would hinder the success of the project. Due to the problem-solving needs of the role, the executive sponsor often needs to be able to exert pressure within the organization to overcome resistance to the project.
