Business partnering

The business partnering approach allows organisations to utilise specialised project management skills and address resource deficiencies.

As a delivery model it falls halfway between full in-source and full out-source, allowing us to draw on the right mix of services to provide optimal outcomes.

Our business partnering approach enhances your project management capability and delivers cost savings through delivery of projects to meet time, cost and quality criteria - compared to the cost and risk penalty associated with conventional models.

Key points

  • Performance based structure

  • Ability to recruit appropriate resources and manage the project management team

  • Team size can be altered as required

  • Full lifecycle process of engagement

  • Tools, methods and skills; focus to train staff over time

  • Obvious objections recognised and addressed

  • Mutual respect is achieved through delivery and project closeout

Key benefits of partnered projects

  • Flexibility – Create a more flexible and responsive organisation with less inertia

  • Time – Minimise the implementation time through Caravel’s effective and reliable methodologies

  • Cost – Commitment to least-cost-approach while protecting your investment from risk; avoidance of schedule and cost overruns is 70% more likely for most projects and offsets Caravel’s fee

  • Expertise – As project management specialists, we are totally focused on delivering projects, you can re-deploy staff into high value revenue earning

  • Risk – Visible reporting systems ensure that risks are easily managed and controlled

  • Price – Unit prices are fixed; prices for services may be fixed upon agreement of scope

  • Quality – Meeting the business requirements first time eliminates the cost associated with rework

  • Knowledge – Project management at a higher level promotes knowledge continuity and knowledge sharing; removes the risk of project failure due to changes in the project team

  • Independence – Isolation from contractors who don’t have a vested interest in the successful delivery of the project

  • Control – Optimal control of key project aspects by retaining strategic project elements in house (Customer management, portfolio- and programme management), while using the partnering solution for all tactical elements (Project management, programme management)
