Better Projects.

Our project advice is superior because we first determine the team behaviors that are required to address the particular risks and opportunities on the project, and then we develop the contracting strategies and project mechanics from there.  Our client feedback from across Canada tells us the Dynamic guidance which we provide is not otherwise available in the market place today.

Better Collaboration

Organizations are struggling today to capture the value promised by collaborative contract models, often selecting a model that is too complicated or too demanding. 

We focus on simple yet effective tweaks to what project staff are already used to doing, without re-inventing the wheel.  This provides the biggest gains, more quickly, for more successful project outcomes (the best returns for the level of effort / cost expended).

Early Contractor Involvement

We explain the mechanics of Early Construction Involvement (ECI) so your people understand why it works and how to get the most out of ECI.  Our starting point is that today's approach to Design Build is not really ECI, and we optimize from there based on the specific risk & opportunity profile for the project.

Optimized Communications

As technical as it may be, the capital projects industry is truly a People business at the end of the day.  Untapping the secrets of optimized communications in the procurement and execution of capital projects is our specialty. 

We help project teams start with the end in mind, by setting up the projects for success with a focus on better communication and the "right" team behaviours that are required for a successful project.  

Better Procurement

Adding qualifications-based selection (QBS) to commercial competition drives better project results (and better value creation) than lowest price procurement. We help Owners engage QBS and ECI without being taken advantage of by market vendors.

We advise on alternative delivery models such as P3 and Integrated Project Delivery, and we advise how to optimize today's practices for better results.

Project Partnering & Project Health Checks

We help Owners integrate and align their staff with Designer and Contractor staff, so project players understand what is expected of each other for a successful project.

​We help teams to align on "what does a successful project look like here?" And then we check the project health during the life of the project.

We provide this through facilitation services for project partnering sessions, and for interim project health checks and meetings to discuss same.  Our meeting design is unique and has drawn on many best practices from around the world.

PMO in a Box!

If you need or are developing a Project Management Office (PMO), we have best-in-class template work processes and template document sets which can be readily adopted or customized for your business.  Our templates are scalable based on the size and risk profile for the different projects.  Have your PMO Director contact us!

Project Management Services

We provide direct Project Management services and coaching / training in best practices for project management.  
We also offer on-call support services for Owners who want their people to be able to Call an Experienced Advisor for guidance on their projects, whether its a 5 minute discussion or a longer engagement.

Automated Documentation
​Sets & Templates 

We provide best-in-class document sets with template forms for project management decision making, approvals, and documentation.  We also provided automation for document sets to populate project information once with One Version of the Truth. 

​We automate folder structure creation and population with the standard document set completed automatically with the reference project information.

Project Controls & Analytics

The most successful project organizations understand that success is in the details, and the details are the project controls for schedule and budget management. We provide project control services for projects, along with training in project controls.    

We also offer project management analytics and dashboard reporting tools, for efficient management oversight of project health and status.  

A Global Perspective to Improve Canadian Projects

With our understanding of how and why Canada is the most challenging environment on earth for capital construction projects, we have drawn on best industry practices from around the world to create a Project Advisory service that provides impressive results in improving Canadian project outcomes.  This includes our hands-on experience with project industry practices in Spain, Japan, Korea, & the Middle East, and detailed literature reviews of best project practices in the United Kingdom, Australia, & the United States.  

We Are Superior to your Current Advisors

Having provided our Advisory services to over 60 organizations from Ontario to British Columbia and north to the Yukon and North West Territories, we know first-hand and through abundant feedback that our knowledge and guidance is unique and superior compared to other players in this advisory space.  We provide knowledge, perspective, and guidance that the Big Box management advisory firms cannot provide, and the same is true of Engineering Consultants and Procurement Advisors across Canada.  We know this because we have been told so repeatedly by many clients across the Country. 

We attend and monitor the content at Industry Events & Conferences and see that we provide superior guidance.  We know what the Procurement Training Companies in Canada offer, and what they do not offer.  Contact us today, you will be rewarded with better projects.
