Project Planning and Business Cases
Project Planning and Business Case development is the foundation of effective business transformation.
Our reputation has been built on our collective knowledge and experience on some of Australia’s most high-profile and complex social infrastructure projects. Our staff have a proven track record delivering exceptional project planning and compelling business case outcomes, resulting in long-standing client relationships that sustain ongoing success. Our aim is to collaboratively support our clients to assess organisational opportunities and control project risk to achieve ‘live’ projects that have transformative potential.
Our multi-disciplinary team has the expertise to deliver pragmatic service outcomes in: master planning; facility planning; business cases; benefits realisation; economic and financial appraisals; development reviews.
Our capability across the project lifecycle means we can readily accommodate a broader scope if service planning, feasibility or procurement advice are also required. Our planning approach addresses governance, risk, change, communication and value management as a matter of course.
We have successfully provided project planning and business case services for health, education, research, local government, transport, justice and sport, leisure and tourism organisations.
