Consulting & Solutions Implementation
Developing and implementing solutions for capital project systems
Capital project systems are different from normal business operations. Effective capital project solutions require a deep understanding of how projects work, which is why general management consulting firms struggle in this area. IPA Capital Solutions’ sole focus is on project systems and helping our clients to define and implement the changes needed to make their project systems successful. Whether the deliverable is project process or governance structures, organizational design, project system documentation, training and coaching, or formulation of system Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), we apply the principles of change management to our work to ensure our clients realize the full benefit to achieve maximum value from capital project investment. The results of the IPA Capital Solutions-client partnership are practical and tailored project system solutions, driven by IPA’s data-based knowledge, measurement, and diagnosis of work processes, organizations, and governance and gatekeeping approaches.
