Multi-National Utilities Engineering Project.
The business imperative of a US utilities engineering partner operating in a UK utilities company was to ensure all members of the partnership, in order to deliver a successful project, had aligned goals and objectives. Additionally, that the relationships in the decision making arena were as constructive as possible. It was identified by a senior manager that this was not the case.
We coached the lead partners individually and coached the teams at their project meetings helping them to find ways to negotiate their respective positions.
Using these opportunities we listened to the partners to find out what was going on between them. With them we uncovered some of the political dimensions to determine what the absolute common goals were and where their individual goals were pulling them apart. From these discussions we helped them develop constructive ways forward for the benefit of the project.
The project was delivered on time and to cost.
