What we do
Pace is critical when you’re contemplating major change. We can help you make better decisions, faster.
Winning the race to the start line
Major projects play a critical role in creating value. These step-change events take our businesses forward, whether through site rationalisation programmes boosting efficiency, acquisitions generating operating synergies or new product developments driving top-line growth. Business leaders, striving continually for profit progression, need to move quickly to maximise each opportunity.
However, these projects draw heavily on precious resources. For a complex change, it takes considerable effort to evaluate different options, create realistic project plans and prepare credible financial projections. While immersed in their day-to-day operations, management teams must find bandwidth to navigate investment appraisal processes and manage senior stakeholders.
Against these challenges, is it any wonder that the delivery of valuable opportunities are often delayed by a lack of management capacity, weak business case assumptions and optimistic resource plans?
Drawing on our business experience and consulting skillset, we help clients install the foundations upon which successful projects are built: rigorous decision-making to confirm the approach, benefits plans underpinned by a robust business case, clear stakeholders’ communications, realistic timelines and a practical governance model.
