Project Controls Management
Unlocking value at every step we work with clients to implement their project controls strategy; we set the processes and procedures and create a controlled environment and standardize reporting – one version of the truth. Quite simply – we enable and empower the project office responsible for the business and technical management of program delivery. We are supportive, integrated, and benefits-focused adding value and most importantly; forward-looking. We are the enabler for clients to deliver effective and informed decision-making. We provide a fully integrated end-to-end project control service.
Our approach recognizes the key trends and challenges that we see across the industry, including:
Market change: the environment has never been more time and cost-conscious; where project teams are expected to achieve ever more for less, and value across a wider range of performance measures. Excellence in time, cost, risk, and scope management are required.
Digitization: technologies present both opportunity, disruption, and complexity for all our clients; having data recorded and stored as a single source of validated truth. Reducing inefficiencies and enabling forward-looking insight, has a direct impact on project and program success and priority-based planning supported by the visibility of deliverables and emerging risks and issues. It is vital to ensure these delivery targets.
Pressure on Capacity & Skills: increasing market cost and time delivery pressures require more productive use of existing resources and the attraction and retention of talent and skills. Delivery organizations recognize that the outsourcing of controls or PMO functions to ensure a sufficient level of capability is assured throughout delivery. Offering better outcomes and cost benefits is increasingly important.
Perception & Benefits: projects that have been set up for success will have highly effective project control functions that consider three core elements; people, process, and systems. Working in harmony, these project control functions can accurately predict, understand and influence the time and cost aspects of projects.
Customer Expectations: very few projects meet all of their objectives and customers have rightly come to expect that every experience will be a good one. Offering clients choice and control and a feeling of being handed with care is paramount.
Project Insights & Data: projects are delivered via effective and informed decision-making. All too often project teams report what has been achieved; however, forward-looking, integrated advice and insightful reports are the key to delivering successful outcomes. This strong correlation between companies placing importance on project controls and projects meeting all or most time, cost, and quality objectives is unsurprising.
Our end-to-end service offer includes:
- Schedule, Cost & Interface Management: creating actionable plans to align time and cost delivery, reporting, and forward-looking analysis with objectives & priorities.
- Risk & Opportunity Management: enabling increased certainty and predictability in successfully achieving project, program, and business objectives.
- Change Control & Scope Management: embedding a comprehensive service, delivering a robust change culture, with pace, transparency, and assurance.
- Benchmarking & Knowledge Transfer: embedding new capabilities and ways of working in client organizations while transferring skills and knowledge.
- Performance, Insight & Reporting: providing access to centralized digitization of a single source of truth reducing inefficiencies, and enabling forward-looking insight.
