Project delivery
We make project management work for your business, through training of your people, supporting your projects and individually coaching and advising your teams.
Some of the options available...
Getting the best team together
If you are either putting your project team together or looking at ways in which you can develop the performance of your existing team, Edison's pro-select can help. Through the use of diagnostic tools and dynamic feedback and reporting, your teams individual and collective strengths become visible. So before you make the next decision about your team contact us to find out how pro-assess or pro-select can help.
Getting the most from your team meetings
You know the answers, it's just that you need that bit of help to bring the answers out and have a process that manages these outputs in order that valuable information is captured.
Our facilitators will help you not only manage the process but ensure that captured information is formatted and easily documented to ensure that it can then be easily presented and understood. In addition we can take care of all the administration and provide full support to let you get on with working together.
Whether it is a project start up, vendor appraisal or business case analysis you only get one chance to ensure that all contributions have been evaluated in the best way possible and that the decisions and actions you are now going to take are the best you can achieve. EvenTXChange is in addition to our normal facilitation service and is an extranet web site which is specifically developed for your event and is secure content not available to anyone other than your intended audience. The extranet can contain any content required, most commonly it contains the agenda, speakers, objectives and a contribution area, where attendees can place points of view or issues for discussion at the forth coming event. Once the event has taken place the extranet can be used to continue the discussion further ensuring that you have captured all points of view, even from those who may not have been able to attend. Presentations can also be downloaded. So, if you need to get more from your event, contact us now to discuss how your EvenTXChange will go into action.
Getting the right support you need just when you need it
While we provide a wide range of training for individual members of the project team, we can also provide a number of options to help manage the project through it's life cycle phases. These options can range from soft skills development to the implementation of best practice processes and procedures.

Further support options available...
Effective project initiation - a focused approach to initiating the project.
Project Initiation is the foundation stone of all good projects. It is vital that the initiation phase is carried out correctly and the requirements, objectives, and time scales, are agreed and carefully documented. It is often the case that failure of the project to achieve it's deliverables can be directly related to an inadequate initiation. Poorly thought through ideas, lack of clear objective and changing processes leads to delays, escalating costs and eventual frustration over the final delivery. Our project initiation support guides the project team through the process, ensuring that all aspects necessary for a sound initiation have been considered.
Problem solving and decision making - facilitate your people to become more creative and innovative .
"How do we decide whether to upgrade our production plants control systems or continue using existing?"
"How can we add value to our project with today’s technology that produces a 20% better benefit realisation than current designs, but only costs 10% more to build?"
"Current project teams need three months experience before they are pulling their weight. How do we cut that to one week?"
When you ask these types of of questions you know that it is because the usual solutions are not going to work. What about ‘breakthrough thinking’, ‘thinking out of the box’ and ‘challenging paradigms’? But exactly how do you do it?
Creative problem solving is a tried and tested set of methods for finding new solutions to challenging problems. It dramatically expands the range of solutions considered and then selects and acts upon the most attractive. It unlocks the knowledge and creativity you already have. We use the best facilities and equipment in the market, to facilitate your people to become more creative and to innovate more effectively. We will work with your teams to confront their current paradigms and constructively break them. We will help them to build their thinking to release many more possible solutions.
Risk and quality review - facilitating your people to fully understand the real risk and quality opportunities.
One of the biggest contributions to the success of a project can occur at an early stage in the life cycle where an effective risk analysis process can have an ROI of at least 80%.
Edison consultants can bring a wealth of experience gained working in projects and analysing risk at various stages in the life cycle. During one of our typical workshops, your people will not only carry out effective risk analysis and quality review on the project but learn the fundamental techniques and processes for use in your next project.
Team building workshops - accelerate great team spirit, trust and collaboration.
What all of these workshops have in common is the specific approach which helps you to build high performance teams quickly, regardless of the way you choose to deliver the range of workshops.
Our approach ensures that all of the critical factors to a team's success are built into every workshop. First, we ensure that goals are set, outcomes and purpose of the team. Second, we create the Energy that a new or developing team needs, drawing upon both aspiration and inspiration. Third, the team has to have the right Attitude, so that it's developing in the right direction and with the right level of commitment. Finally, Motivation is the final ingredient that the team needs to get going. By designing each of our workshops around this simple philosophy, we ensure fast, effective and powerful team building whatever the size and purpose of the team.
Developing knowledge management - helping you learn from your experience.
If the only consistent thing about your project management or business process is that you keep making the same mistakes, a Lessons Learned Workshop will assist you in building a framework to learn from your past and invest it in improved performance on future projects.
The journey to becoming a true “learning organisation” may not be the smoothest, your post implementation review process at the conclusion of projects may, if they occur at all, lack the desired consistency and leave key improvement opportunities undiscovered. If review sessions do occur and results go unnoticed or unused by the organisation and never seem to impact on future process changes. We can help!
