Project management mentoring and coaching
Our ambition is straightforward. We help business leaders achieve their goals and projects.
The preliminary phase of each engagement is critical for us to enhance a deep understanding of your objectives and business issues. We take time to ask the tough questions and to understand the root causes of the issues at hand. We believe this step is essential to providing independent, actionable and enforceable guidance.
Ours is a bespoke approach. No one engagement is like another. We sometimes find it difficult to list our deals under "standard" service definitions. Each project has its own specific context, blueprint and milestones. And on each step along the way, we will work together under your supervision.
That said, we can sketch out two major areas of intervention. The first one is mentoring and coaching, to help you navigate your complex agenda. The second is to support you in the delivery of a complex and time-consuming project.
All your assignments are subject to engagement letters defining the scope of work and the commitments and responsibilities of the parties.
The following are examples of some of the projects we’re proud of. They demonstrate our ability to intervene across multiple lines, working closely with CEOs and/or CFOs.
