We offer decades of top level project leadership experience and deep knowledge of project management systems, strategies and methodologies to support projects and project leadership through the full life cycle of any exceptional major capital project. We recommend an initial review and assessment, extended to a full diagnostic healthcheck if preferred. This will give you confidence in areas of strength and enable support to be targeted for maximum benefit. The support can be targeted or comprehensive across all aspects and project phases.
With our extensive full life cycle experience we can support you if you are new to major projects or your organisation is highly capable and you want to deliver even better project outcomes. Life cycle experience from multiple projects has enabled feedback of what works, what delivers better outcomes and what can cause problems with new techniques new tried, tested and honed. Project management methods are always progressing and we can support you with current and latest developments such as agile work practices, teamwork, digital enablement, safety leadership, as it transitions from systems to human performance, risk, contracting and collaboration, and life cycle quality.
The priorities of successful projects vary by phase and we can help you succeed in each phase, efficiently and confidently, and deliver your business and project objectives. Example areas for support include:
- Initiation: appointment of the core project team, development of the idea through studies, high-level definition and planning, assessment of viability, developing the high-level project strategy and architecture, preparing for the set-up phase
- Set-up: resource build, development of the front end definition and business case, finalising delivery strategy and plans, stakeholder alignment, selecting contractors, obtaining licences, consent and funding, preparing for the delivery phase
- Delivery: implementation of the project scope and plans, operational management (e.g. alignment, resources, cost, progress, safety, risk, ESG, interfaces, course corrections), management and integration of EPC scope, completions and start-up and transitioning to operations.
