Projects your own team can run.
New products, customer projects and improvement work often depend on a few people who carry everything in their heads. We train and coach your team in practical project management, shaped to the size of your business, so your own people can run launches, improvement projects and customer projects themselves.
Signs your team could use this.
- Projects only move when one or two key people push them.
- Plans exist, but they are not updated once the work starts.
- Risks surface late, often when a customer or supplier raises them.
- Launches start before tooling, suppliers or approvals are really ready.
The parts of project management that matter in a factory.
Planning that holds
Plans with clear owners and the dates that matter, simple enough to keep up to date and reviewed regularly.
Risks handled early
A habit of naming risks while there is still time to act, with an owner and a next step for each.
Stakeholders on board
Customers, suppliers and colleagues kept informed and involved, so decisions are made in time and nobody is surprised.
Launch discipline
Right-sized gate reviews and clear criteria for when a product, process or supplier is ready for the next step.
Training and coaching on your real projects.
We agree with you which projects and which people to start with. Then we train the team in the essentials and coach them while they apply them to their own launches, customer projects and improvement work, on site and remotely, in whatever way suits the work.
Skills, habits and light tools.
- People who are confident running a project from plan to finish.
- Light tools and templates for plans, risks and reviews, sized for your business and yours to keep.
- A regular review rhythm that keeps projects on track after we step back.
The scope and a fixed fee are agreed with you before we start.
Is this for you?
Owner-managed manufacturers whose projects depend on a few people, who have a launch or a big customer project coming, or who want their team to run improvement work without outside help.
A good follow-on to a check.
It works on its own or after a check. After a launch readiness check, for example, it helps your team carry the actions through and run the next launch more smoothly. Not sure where to start? Take the Scorecard.
