We have summarised below some examples of the types of support we provide in the area of Project Management.

Our Project Management Capabilities
Developing PM Capability:
• Designing scalable PM lifecycle models (based on PRINCE2 or otherwise), with supporting tools and techniques (including delivery “toolkits”)
• Delivering PM skills workshops to support existing (or newly created) PM approaches (almost always using “experiential” workshops where people learn the skills by working on their own, real, live projects)
• Designing and facilitating workshops for deployment of PM “best practices” (by helping project teams identify how those practices can/should be applied to their own projects)
Delivering on projects:
• Providing project management support to line managers, to help them define and scope projects
• Facilitating projects to ensure they stay on track and achieve the necessary momentum
• Coaching line managers who are in PM roles, to enable them to drive their own projects
Information & Reporting:
• Establishing proportionate governance and reporting systems to enable programmes and projects to report progress and to give senior managers confidence in what each project is achieving
• Coaching project office staff to develop reporting systems
• Coaching project office staff to help them provide facilitation support to project managers and teams
Reviewing and Improving PM:
• Working with Programme/Project Office teams to develop approaches to help the organisation develop more effective PM capabilities (e.g. through a balance of communications, education, learning events, facilitation, coaching and “pilot” projects)
Our consultants’ experience has included work in the following sectors:
• Government Agencies/Public Bodies (e.g. DoH, IIP(UK), Food Standards Agency, YJB)
• Media (e.g. BBC)
• Facilities Management/Construction (e.g. BAA, Amey)
• Manufacturing (e.g. Leaderflush Shapland, SP Systems)
