Functional Lead Service
Could you benefit from an experienced and disciplined expert to act as a functional lead on your project?
Specialized Expertise
Creating and maintaining competitive advantage is expensive for any business, more so when you have to invest in and nurture skill-sets from scratch that do not naturally form part of your core-business.
Where the requisite skill-set is a planning function, Metisplan can help you get past that challenge of creating and managing the required resources. Our specialized expertise allows you to access top-tier planning capabilities without the overhead of developing them internally.
Flexible Leadership Solutions
We can act as your functional lead for individual projects, or indeed a portfolio of projects managed as a programme of work, with a tried and trusted team that integrates seamlessly with your existing operations.
Our functional lead service can be engaged for appointments of specific durations, or for the express purpose of setting up and developing the planning function in your business for the long term, providing flexibility to meet your specific organizational needs.
