Project management & business consulting
DMC provides project management and business consulting: delivery of complex capital projects to time, cost, quality and safety criteria; business requirements analysis and gap analysis; organisational change management; business process management; and project management training through workshops and workplace simulation. Delivery draws on PMBoK and PRINCE2.
Managing a large, complex project is never easy. It places demands on time, resources and budget that the organisation was not built to absorb. Successful delivery needs strong management, clear leadership, and team members with the right skills at the right moment.
DMC provides trained specialists to complement your project team, and — where the scale justifies it — industry-experienced project managers to take responsibility for delivery outright. Our advice covers location, facility type, construction requirements, risk factors and resource planning. Programme and cost targets, activities and interfaces are monitored closely so problems surface early enough to be fixed cheaply.
Project management, as we practise it, is the management of everything involved in achieving a project's objectives safely and within the agreed time, cost, technical, quality and performance criteria.
Project management training
We offer mentoring options to develop existing management staff and support them through a live project or programme. This includes designing and running workshops on project management and teamwork, using experiential learning in workplace simulation exercises. They are interactive, and — genuinely — people enjoy them.
Business requirements and analysis
Understanding and properly defining an organisation's business requirements is core to what we do. We analyse current business processes, compare them against organisational direction and future requirements, define the gap, and translate it into specific, testable business requirements — the document that determines whether a system procurement succeeds or produces something nobody uses.
Change management
The best software in the world, implemented in record time and on budget, still fails if users choose not to use it. Change management is how the hearts and minds come on board — and it belongs in parallel with the Gantt chart, not appended to the end of it.
We help organisations develop and execute change strategies that ensure:
- optimal project and stakeholder communication;
- fear and surprise are replaced with knowledge and awareness;
- learning and education requirements are complete and effective;
- ongoing support and learning strategies are in place;
- avenues of feedback are open from day one.
Our consultants follow a defined organisational change management methodology and build rigorous business engagement strategies to minimise the impact of transitions.
Business process management
BPM is the ability to see and control every part of a long-lived, multi-step transaction that spans several applications and several people — sometimes across more than one organisation. It means harnessing and enhancing the value of business processes across the extended enterprise, whoever they involve.
A BPM solution is a graphical productivity tool for modelling, integrating, monitoring and optimising process flows of any size, crossing any application, company boundary or point of human interaction.
Methodology
Our delivery framework is business-case centric, integrates systems development and delivery with our quality system, and draws on PMBoK and PRINCE2. Where a client already has a methodology, we adopt it to keep the project aligned with concurrent initiatives, and supplement it where there are gaps.
