Embedded senior expert acting as your client-side functional lead — owning the planning function on major programmes. Access top-tier planning capabilities without the overhead of developing them internally; we integrate seamlessly with your operations.
On major programmes, the planning or controls function demands senior, dedicated leadership. Creating that competitive advantage is expensive, especially when investing in skill-sets outside your core business — our Functional Lead Service helps you access planning capabilities without that overhead.
We place an experienced expert directly into your organisation as the client-side planning or controls lead — owning the function, directing internal and supply chain planners, and reporting at programme level. We act as your functional lead for individual projects or portfolios, with specific duration appointments or long-term planning function development: the expertise of a permanent appointment, without the permanence.
