A careful approach to project planning and execution is crucial to a successful outcome

For an asset to function optimally, the necessary people, processes, and systems need to be established. There are countless examples of businesses that have had their net present values eroded, experiencing delays in achieving nameplate capacity, increased safety issues, and high implementation costs. This can result in lost opportunities and significant loss in shareholder value.

Advisory services are the comprehensive insights and solutions that transform projects from initiation to execution, a practice centered in deep industry knowledge and tried-and-tested management consulting approaches and skills.

Supported by a strong commissioning program, advisory services are the key to sustainable strategy development, maximizing shareholder value, and delivering a successful project execution.

Strategy

By drawing upon our decades of project and operational experience, we are uniquely positioned to assist clients in taking a proactive and holistic approach to managing their risks and opportunities. Rapidly changing digital and automation technology creates significant opportunities for innovation and new operating models. However, they can also add significant risk if not leveraged in an appropriate and practical way. We offer analysis, insights, perspectives, and recommendations to help clients produce results and create sustained shareholder value. 

Risk management

Our risk management process provides clients with a foundation for improved governance and strategic decision-making by better identifying, assessing, and managing risks. We collaborate with our clients to understand their tolerance for risk and apply proven principles and methodologies to support strategic decisions such as project portfolio prioritization, project configuration alternative selection, and capital budgeting. 

Business Readiness

Simply put, Business Readiness is the practice of establishing the people, processes, and systems necessary to operate a new asset safely, promptly, and on budget. An inadequate Business Readiness program can result in the erosion of 20 to 45 percent of any project’s net present value with clients experiencing delays in achieving nameplate capacity and experiencing increased safety issues and high implementation costs. Our experts can help clients develop a Business Readiness approach that mitigates these risks.
