Case Study – Haag Wonen
An increase in project workload results in the implementation of Project Server Plus (PS+) to gain visibility
and control at Haag Wonen.
Based in The Hague, Dutch housing corporation Haag Wonen, is one of the largest in the city owning
more than 22,000 homes and 2,500 corporate premises. The organisation has an active policy focussed
on improving the living space of all its residents by providing adequate, well maintained and affordable
housing. By working in partnership with its residents and other third party organisations, Haag Wonen
aims to provide sustainable housing to meet the challenges faced within the city.
The toolset has allowed Haag Wonen to gain visibility of its project portfolio so that they can take
informed management decisions, effectively deliver against the corporate priorities and instantly
track progress in terms of benefit realisation.
The Issue
An unexpected influx of organisational change projects put immense pressure on the project delivery
function of Haag Wonen, causing a drop in the number of projects successfully delivered. The team at
Haag Wonen realised that with more organisational change projects to deal with and many larger sized
programmes of work coming online, they needed a toolset to help them to control and track their ever
expanding portfolio.
The Solution
The search for a tried and tested technology
solution to quickly become operational led Haag
Wonen to CXS. CXS delivered a best practice
based toolset that instantly improved the project
management capabilities at the organisation. The
implementation of PS+ rapidly progressed with
a live environment that was ready within 8 weeks.
CXS worked in partnership with Haag Wonen to
ensure skill sharing and continual communication
throughout the technology install, process design
and on-going support. Additionally, through training
CXS helped the team prepare for the management
of change, user adoption and new project
management processes.
Our fear concerning the creation of additional bureaucracy was removed the moment we saw that
the tool made our project management methods simple and easy to use.
