METASKIL AT A GLANCE

Whatever the state of the economy, one thing remains true – to thrive organisations need to change, and change means projects. In today’s world a lot of these projects are focussed on improving efficiency but there are many organisations that are taking advantage of the climate to grow and position themselves strongly for the future. What every organisation has in common, however, is the need for their projects to succeed – to be cost effective and to deliver the change that the organisation needs.

Research in 2008 showed that it takes more than project management skills and experience to deliver a project successfully; it takes project managers with the right attitude – the ability to understand and make sense of the complex requirements that the project must meet, of the complex web of, often competing, internal and third-party stakeholders and of the other activities going on around the project. Successful delivery takes “a certain type” of project manager, someone who can quickly establish themselves and drive progress. To make life even more interesting that “certain type” varies from one organisation to another.

That is where Metaskil helps. We establish deep relationships with our clients so that we can really understand what they need to achieve, how they will establish projects and that “certain type” of person that will be most successful for them. And then we find them. Whether as individuals, as key members of the overall team or as the majority of the team we help our clients to put in place project teams that deliver.

Having established those teams we then support them – through access to our own techniques and methods, through coaching and mentoring, by providing strategic challenge, project HealthChecks and by continuing to work with our clients to ensure that focus is strongly on delivering the benefits that they need.

We work with clients in financial services, telecommunications, technology, utilities, travel, central and local government. And because we can find that “certain type” of person more than 90% of our clients use our services again and again.
