One thing all large projects have in common – whether they are for product or service procurement, technology development or business growth – is that anxiety levels rise proportionately to the financial and resourcing commitments an organisation is making. Will the right internal resources be allocated and will they be adequately funded? What is the best way to develop an in-house team to build, develop and manage relationships with third-party suppliers, and what happens if these relationships break down or personal agendas encroach on business objectives? Have all the right questions been asked of all the right stakeholders to ensure project specifications are thorough enough? Have you selected the most appropriate suppliers/vendors for the project and communicated your requirements clearly to them? Where can you go for answers to all these questions and the multitude of others that each project creates along the way? PMC offers the expertise your organisation needs to create and develop the strategies and relationships required for a successful project. We do this in three ways:
Project Management Our wealth of expertise in both the private and public sector means that no matter whether we are instructed at the outset of a project to develop the best strategies and structures, or some way through it to recover trust, perspective and purpose, your project will be in safe hands. From immersing ourselves in your business to understand its needs at a fundamental level, to appreciating the complexities of the technologies and stakeholder relationships involved, and guiding all parties towards shared goals, our prime objective is to provide you with a holistic project management service.
People Management Internal stakeholder buy-in and preparedness are often two of the most important factors in a project’s success. Jayne has a proven track record in developing high-performing team and partnership working groups, training individuals and departments to prepare for the project ahead, and involving all relevant parties in discussions to garner support and glean all knowledge and understanding required for clear project focus. We can deliver one-off workshop sessions, training courses or ongoing support to build in-house competencies and improve team efficiencies and project effectivity.
Partnership Management The relationships you have with your suppliers and contractors must be robust, and built on a strong foundation of mutual trust for your projects to succeed. So from building or repairing individual relationships to the development of a well-resourced Intelligent Client Function (ICF) team, our objective is to create an environment in which all parties are genuinely pulling in the same direction. Without this team-mindedness there is no early warning system for recognising problems that may emerge and need to be resolved, there is no shared agenda, and there is greater risk of project and budget slip.
Jayne is a pragmatic, sleeves-rolled-up-to-get-stuck-in consultant.
