Interim Management
At Essential Project Solutions, we have significant experience of
managing complex programmes to ensure a successful outcome.
Major programmes often contain an element of business change.
Working with Essential Project Solutions will ensure programmes
are delivered on time, to budget and with the necessary cultural or
change benefits included.
At EPS, we believe Project Management can and should be applied
throughout the project lifecycle, from the earliest stages of Concept
definition into handover and business as usual. Project Management
comprises the management of all that is involved in achieving the
project objectives safely and within agreed time, cost, technical,
quality and other performance criteria. Project management
provides the “single point of integrative responsibility” needed to
ensure that everything on the project is managed effectively to
ensure a successful project deliverable.
For a project to be successful, the Client (the project owner), the
Professional Team (the project manager, design and commercial
teams) and the Contractor (the construction supply chain) need to
agree on the approach and outcomes.
Essential Project Solutions has extensive experience of successfully
contract managing major projects.
Sometimes, the best way to ensure success is to integrate fully with
our client’s business for a short (3-9 month) period of time.
We have the skills and experience required to deliver appropriate
and effective interim management on major projects.
