Why Mace?

GLOBAL REACH AND LOCAL CAPABILITIES

The Mace PMO and Planning team is mobilised around the globe. With team members based across all our Mace offices, we are able to offer services wherever there is a need.

 

Through centralised resources, our team can draw on expertise gathered over decades and apply it locally, tailoring it to regional nuances and demands while maintaining global standards. Integrating completely with your teams and organisation, our people bring the right knowledge, experience and personalities to drive progress at every stage.

LIVING IN THE DIGITAL AGE

We have three decades of experience in developing easy to use digital solutions for complex commissions, so we are adept at delivering user-friendly software solutions that, if required, can leverage a clients’ existing systems to aid delivery, as well as ongoing day-to-day operations.

 

Our expertise lies in developing elegant solutions to today’s complex challenges. With ease of use and the client’s in-house capacity foremost in our minds, we combine the latest Digital innovations with traditional implementation methodologies, so that solutions can be robustly and reliably realised.

A CONSTANT EYE ON COST AND TIME

Our people understand the need to provide clients with accurate cost advice throughout the whole project lifecycle, from initial planning through to handover and operation.

 

We benchmark our estimates, budgets and timescales to provide a solid foundation for establishing the project baseline and use scheduling and reporting to maintain their legitimacy. We align our cost management with risk and schedule analysis, so we are better able to anticipate the final project costs and communicate these ahead of time.

TOOLS FOR FULL CONTROL

Constantly monitoring a project’s controls ensures that timing and budget demands are met, and that every participant knows their role. The more ambitious the proposal, the more crucial it is to have well developed controls environments in place which drive all areas of performance.

 

‘Re-inventing the wheel’ for every commission is counterproductive. Rather, best practice is built through lessons learnt and benchmarking, and then adapting to the specifics of each project, programme and portfolio. At Mace, our ISO 9001 certified management system enables us to foster service excellence, and deliver a consistent, standardised service across our global business.

TOTAL VISIBILITY

Accurate reporting and performance management is an integral part of our PMO offering, enabling efficient decision-making and progress communication. This is crucial in enabling direct management, informed decision making, the early identification and mitigation of issues, and driving performance.

 

At Mace, we provide a fully integrated reporting service, combining existing data from siloed systems to provide a ‘single source of the truth’ in a bespoke platform. Through consistent cost and schedule reporting and tracking, we baseline against previous performance, enabling our teams to effectively identify trends and potential concerns. This monitoring allows our teams to keep on track and, when issues arise, rapidly implement the most efficient risk mitigation strategy.

Our PMO and Planning capabilities have been recognised internationally, previously winning awards for innovation, transformation, social impact and success.
