Project MANAGEMENT

Strategic project & commercial management

We all understand the key components of a successful project - being on time, within budget, meeting specifications, and exceeding client expectations. But why do so many projects fall short on these criteria?

The simple answer is that most organisations do not take a strategic approach to delivering their projects.

Which is why we have launched Project SMART, our strategic project management toolkit & masterclass training program.

Project SMART addresses this by creating a Toolkit that focuses on the key aspects of a successful project.

Drawing from our experience in delivering challenging projects, we offer unmatched insights to propel your projects forward.

Every bid should start with a bid strategy, setting out how you will secure the order.

Management
Managing the bid is key. Regular review meetings should be held.

Alignment
Align the client’s Critical Success Factors with your Competitive Advantage.

Resources
Identify key roles. Allocate the right people at the right time.

Targets
Stick to the plan. Make sure you have achieved the targets you set yourself.

Our Bid SMART approach involves three distinct stages for success. Pursuit, Bid & Convert. Together with you, we help to improve all three.
