Through our consultancy work over the last decade (with both agencies and advertisers) our mantra has been this: that good process and effective project management - far from being a cost - can and will improve business performance.
This isn't a belief that we hold. It's a fact that we know.
Process re-engineering
Client agencies working practices
Studio re-engineering
Print supply chain management
Change management
Outsourcing and off shoring production
Production, Project and Asset technologies
The three of us are passionate about best-practice project management because we've fought for it, instigated it and maintained it at many successful companies that have gone on to be even more successful.
If you're struggling with a ticklish current project or looking to totally re-imagine your ways of working or even building a process from scratch, 'Where' is here for those (and only those) express purposes.
We have a very clear vision, but that doesn't mean we try to impose a 'one-size-fits-all' solution.
Our years in operations have shown us unequivocally that every client is different. 'Treat each according to his gifts' as a wise man once said. So every solution we provide is nothing less than bespoke.
Our principles are these:
We know every organization can benefit from tailor-made, top-notch project management.
We believe in simple solutions. And transparency in their implementation.
We believe in the closest co-operation to ensure those solutions are delivered 100%.
Placement
Far from plumbing the usual pool for project and production management candidates (it's been 'over-fished' for far too long), we're nurturing our very own pool.
And we're tailoring the right project management and producing skills to the right project management roles. Both from a client's and a job candidate's perspective, we're here to get things right.
From the clients' end:
We will immerse ourselves in your business to exactly determine the role and responsibility of project management.
As well as working to your brief, we'll also prepare our own in tandem.
We will rigorously profile using www.thomasinternational.net profiling tools to ensure candidates match your needs and culture. There will be no 'bad fits'.
