Our staff receive external training in Project Management, regardless of whether they are technical or non-technical, thus instilling confidence and security into our relationships with our clients. We use a number of scheduling tools such as GANTT, CPM and PERT - the tool used depends upon the particular project's needs.

Our Project Management is broken down into 4 distinct implementation stages:

1. Project Planning
• Accurately estimating project costs and time dimensions.
• Efficiently integrating and allocating resources.
• Providing for contingencies.
  
  
2. Monitoring and Control
• Establishing checkpoints and milestones to ensure we stay on track.
• Provision of structured reports.
• Regular project reviews and effective communication of the results of these reviews, both within the company team and to the customer.
  
  
3. Problem solving
• Use of decision trees customised to each project's unique requirements.
• Use of the principle of "organised disagreement" to search for creative alternatives and solutions, and to handle change where necessary.
  
  
4. Project sign off and review
• Full debrief with the customer, with particular emphasis on the objectives we both set out to achieve and how we both measured against these objectives.
• Lessons to be learned for future dealings with that customer and with other customers.
