Project management

Budgetary and other constraints on public and independent organisations today often result in there being barely enough resources to handle the ‘day job’ let alone additional projects which are required to respond to legislation or deliver new services.

In these circumstances, your organisation may need to call upon external assistance in the form of professional project management. However, not all project managers understand the specific demands of a particular initiative, or appreciate the culture of public and independent sector organisations.

Socitm Consulting has a pool of expert project managers with PRINCE2 qualifications and OGC Gateway Review experience, who can provide sensitive leadership, effective organisational ability and the results expected by the business case.

Our consultants have developed their skills managing real projects in the public, independent and private sectors and can add value to your project. They understand the business issues and the pressure on resources and time that are now commonplace, and know what works and doesn’t work.
