Approach

Design Stage

We will work with sponsors and managers as well as the team themselves to define their objectives and goals. These could range from an established business team who want to improve their performance and team dynamics, through to a new project team who need to mobilise quickly and effectively to assure successful delivery.

The specific requirements of the team or project will drive the solutions deployed. From short team building activities, through to project mobilisation and support engagements, we will tailor the support to match the needs of the individuals. With us, the team will anticipate the “potholes and road blocks” they could face on their journey, and how they could minimise the impact of these along the way.

Execution

During delivery we will support the team through their individual programme. For project teams this typically could include:

• Project scoping
• Benefits management
• Risk management
• Change control
• Stakeholder management
• Planning and measurement
• Team dynamics
• Managing interfaces
• Managing suppliers

We will equip teams with the tools and techniques to help them identify and prioritise issues, solve problems effectively and develop solutions which retain the focus on delivery. They will be able to involve stakeholders when appropriate, gain buy in to decisions and have confidence in their plans.

Benefits

• Consistent delivery of projects to time, cost and quality
• More effective engagement of stakeholders
• Increased team performance through better understanding and application of team roles
• Tangible benefit delivery
• Faster, more effective decision making
• Outputs aligned with strategic business goals

Effective Teams & Projects

Teams and projects are a key feature of business today. High performing teams can make a real difference to the way our businesses operate, the level of service our customers receive and to our ability to stay ahead of the competition. The ability to deliver projects effectively is a basic requirement for all businesses that want to grow their market or increase profitability.

Our approaches to improving the capability of your teams and projects will ensure that they have a focus on delivering value, use the right tools and techniques to deliver effectively, and measure their performance against what the business really needs.

We improve the performance of both business and project teams, whether newly formed or established. We deal with the real day to day issues facing the team and the practical ways they can improve (and we don’t take trips hiking on the moors to do it!). Our consultants bring experience of delivering and supporting multi million pound projects in both business change and construction.
