Assessing Current or Planned Projects

3. How do we Compare

A one-day facilitated self-assessment workshop using ClientMAP to develop understanding and deliver an evidence based report ...

Applicable to any stage of a project from pre-formation, through project implementation and into post-project review. Facilitation ensures that the assessment team share a common understanding of the Best-Practice Guide, and deliver a fair, rational and evidence based assessment for their project.

We have frequently used this form of facilitated assessment to help develop senior management understanding and commitment, as well as involving people from all organisational levels to generate powerful insights for the teams. Facilitated workshops can be re-run at intervals during project implementation to provide a level of consistency in assessing the project over time. The outcome is an assessment report with insights provided by the experienced facilitator.

4. Independent Assessment

A rigorous, evidence based assessment providing consistency, repeatability and independence for senior decision makers ...

An independent assessment carried out by experienced assessors knowledgeable about the ICE Client Guide, best-practices and the construction industry. This is a rigorous assessment suitable for any stage of the project from pre-formation through implementation and into project close-out. A highly professional, evidence based assessment providing consistency, repeatability and independence for senior decision makers and other executive stakeholders. The assessment results in a report rich in guidance on areas of strength and opportunities for improvement.
