Effectively managing operations ‘in the field’ is an essential part of this business. Managing their equipment and assets, and ensuring operational efficiency on-site has a direct effect on financial results.
While project delivery is key to realising the value of a project, creating the value occurs primarily in the early stages of a project, and well before delivery gets underway.
Our thinking is based on our multi-year research into complex projects, conducted with the University of Technology Sydney.
Our Case study library is filled with the stories of organisations we’ve worked with to navigate complexity, achieve project performance, and transform businesses.

Helmsman’s Project Performance Diagnostic leverages the insights from more than 1000 successful projects to measure project complexity
