“we do it right by doing the right things”

Mott MacDonald has highly skilled programme and project managers with a wide range of industry experience in managing business investments for many major public and private sector organisations within the UK and world-wide. Our experience has shown us that the key to successful project management is the early identification of issues and addressing through a structured Project Execution Plan (PEP), before they impact on time, costs, resources or quality.

We develop and implement the most cost effective methodology for managing programmes and projects to satisfy our customer’s requirements based on our proven management processes that incorporate all the principles of Prince 2 methodology.

Obtaining ‘buy-in’ at all levels is critical to success and a prime requisite for the effective implementation of change programmes. Therefore we build good working relationships with our customers, their representatives, programme and project team members, and all other key stakeholders.

At Mott MacDonald we believe that effective communication is essential. By applying our approach to programme and project management we ensure that all project personnel understand:

• what is to be done and when
• by whom
• responsibilities
• the inputs, outputs and risks associated with and interfaces between the key activities
• the degree of detail and accuracy of information required at each stage in the process
• the milestones and stage gates in the process
• the authorisation process for approvals
