Strategic Consulting
We are in an increasingly competitive market and work environment where there is enormous competition for talent
and where employees want to work where they can develop their full potential. Companies therefore need to reevaluate issues
such as innovation, diversification and the use of new technologies & management processes as well as the training involved in
embracing these changes – in some cases even redefining the culture of ¨how we do business¨.
We offer consulting services
to support Companies and
Organizations in their assessment of
how they should conduct their
business practices or projects to
address the new challenges they are
facing or the new goals they have
proposed for profitable growth.
We assist in the following activities:
- Strategic planning
- Organizational processes
- Resource management processes
- Strategy and business planning
- Market studies
- Assets Valuation
- Logistics and supply
- Operation and maintenance
- Proposals preparation
- Best practices implementation (e.g. PMI, IPA, etc.)
- GREEN solutions (USGBC)
- ISO and OSHAS implementation
- Quality management systems Implementation
Our extensive experience in management positions in Latin America, allows us furthermore to provide consulting services to:
- Investors
- Companies with capital projects
- Engineering firms
- Construction companies
- Public agencies
Project Management
Engineering
Our experience in acquiring and implementing best practices
from different market sectors allows us to add value by applying
these practices to the management of projects in any given
market.
Our services during project life start with defining, together with
the customer and other stakeholders, the best strategy to carry
out project objective, from conceptual and feasibility studies,
through planning and design to construction management and
commissioning & start-up management.
Managing projects means managing complexity and uncertainty, and to manage those variables we implement methodologies
that reduce the risk and ensure the fulfillment of the project
objectives and stakeholder’s expectations.
To manage uncertainty and complexity, best practices in the
modern Project Management includes the use of the
recommendations of the PMI® (Project Management Institute)
for the complexity and the recommendations (Stage-gate process -FEL) of the IPA (Independent Project Analysis) for the uncertainty.
The optimal management solution and its subsequent
implementation should always be tailored to each project, taking
into account the background, context, culture and resources that
are always unique to each situation.
