Projects, Engineering & R&D

A cross-border project is late. We take over delivery.

Timelines and budgets are rarely the real problem. Cultural differences, unclear responsibilities and stakeholders with different expectations are. We set up the project, run the PMO and deliver, up to a complete production facility.

Your situation

A cross-border project is late, over budget or stuck.

  • A complex project between Europe and Japan is late, over budget or stuck.
  • Teams in two countries plan with different assumptions.
  • A plant, a line or an R&D programme has to start in the other market.
