While cost overruns and delays have always been serious issues, companies and governments have grown increasingly concerned about them. Large-scale projects have the ability to transform people’s lives and can bring enormous benefits to organisations and society.

Springboard
Establishing a foundation for project success
The early stages of a major project are critical to its likelihood of being delivered successfully. Organisations need to take control – a real challenge when embarking on a project for the first time, or taking on a project of unfamiliar complexity.
Intelligent control
Building the environment that puts you in control of your programme
When visibility of capital programme performance is scarce, unreliable or conflicting, stakeholder confidence and trust can be quickly lost. Programmes can derail and organisations can start to feel like passengers.
Project Partner
Working by your side to deliver critical projects successfully
When an urgent issue arises, organisations need to respond effectively and rapidly. People are pulled out of day-to-day roles and into project teams – sometimes with limited project leadership experience – which puts success under threat.
Health check
Providing independent and objective insight into complex projects
Major projects present significant risks and it is often difficult to understand if they are on track. An optimistic view is often reported, leading to poor decisions and missed opportunities to intervene. An independent perspective is essential.
Recover
Getting challenging projects back on track
When a major project is going wrong, every decision is critical. Establishing what is going on, what happened and what needs to be put right – quickly – is vital to getting a project back on track.
Resolve
Providing a pragmatic, outcomes-focused approach to project disputes
When contractual disagreements arise on major projects, decisions need to be driven objectively and by the facts to maximise the chances of success. More often impulse and emotion take over, compromising outcomes and risking reputational and financial damage.
Commercial advantage
Driving the best performance out of complex contracts
Large contracts are part of the fabric of major projects, but they often fail to deliver on the promise of managing risk and can erode considerable value – threatening objectives, increasing cost and derailing strategy.
Digital projects
Using data to provide predictive insight and drive down project costs
The emergence of digital technologies and the abundance of data in the project environment creates opportunities for project owners to unlock insights and reduce costs.
