Implementing effective governance in advance of project execution reduces project risk and execution delays.
Keeping up with changes and revolutionary upheavals is challenging for most companies, especially during project execution.
Relying on outdated and fixed processes places project performance behind industry norms. Making material changes to major capital projects while they are in full execution can be like changing a tire on a Formula One race car at top speed. Our proven approach ensures that opportunities for improvement are highlighted as soon as they are discovered and are implemented quickly with minimal disruption.
Working with our client’s business and project management teams, we implement improvements through services that include:
- Project Performance Reviews
- Pre-execution Readiness Reviews
- Cold-Eye Reviews of Strategy, Contractual and Construction challenges
- Claims/Change Management Reviews
- Project Controls Reviews
- Risk Management Reviews
- Safety Management Reviews
- Quality Management Reviews
- Documentation Management Reviews
Reviewing your project at multiple points in the execution phase enables you to discover problems before they escalate.
