How we help

How do you make sure a project will meet its strategic objective(s) and finish on time, within scope and budget?

In today’s pensions landscape, change projects are more important than ever. Our dedicated project management team work independently, which means we can provide robust challenge to external third-party providers as well as our own consultants, helping everyone deliver as promised.  

We follow a tried and tested PRINCE2 methodology, working collaboratively to create action plans that transform objectives into reality. Your consultant will become the central point for all information, providing full visibility of all moving parts. This means they can assess the impact of changes, flag issues and escalate when needed. Your time can then focus on decision-making (and the day job!), leaving project management in a pair of safe, effective hands.

Our consultants are highly experienced in all elements of strategic set-up and planning across a wide variety of projects. We work with you to set up robust governance, including defining objectives, identifying workstreams, setting timelines and analysing risk.

Then we create a plan on a page: a high-level snapshot of your project. This is a powerful reporting tool, helping everyone understand the objectives and process, timelines and complexity.  Supporting documentation like project plans, action logs and risk registers are created and shared regularly for full transparency and proactive management.

We work with clients from a variety of industries. Our consultants span actuarial private, defined contribution consulting, insurance and financial services and third-party administration.

We manage a wide range of projects, including guaranteed minimum pension equalisation, scheme mergers, scheme closure, data rectification, master trust implementation, credit risk modelling, longevity mortality support and more. 

Every scheme is unique, so a one-price-fits-all solution doesn’t work.

Our pricing model offers different options based on your requirements, creating a consistent, realistic and competitive approach to pricing:

Strategic: For large projects requiring full project management support, typically working with FTSE 100/250/350.

Comprehensive: Fixed budgets for projects that need dedicated project managers, possibly working with in-house resources.

Core: For limited budgets, using project co-ordinators to enhance existing monitoring and control resources.

As we always say, don’t try to eat the elephant – let us help you break it down into bite-sized chunks!
