Consulting & Solutions Implementation
Developing and implementing solutions for capital project systems
Capital project systems are different from normal business operations. Our core belief is that effective capital project solutions and implementation require deep understanding of how projects and project systems work. Our knowledge, captured in our Project System Excellence Model (PSEM®), is based on 35+ years of research, benchmarking, and consulting for industrial projects. Our sole focus is on helping our clients to define, create, and implement the improvements needed to make their project systems more successful.
We apply the principles of robust change management to our work to ensure our clients are positioning themselves to achieve maximum value from their capital project investments. The results of the IPA Capital Solutions–Client partnership are practical and fit-for-purpose project system solutions informed by IPA’s data-based understanding of Best Practice approaches for governance, work process, organization, and performance management.
