Peer Assist
During periods of heightened vulnerability, our experts can augment your project team.
Situation Resolving gives you the necessary input to make an informed decision, whether that requires support from base camp, or boots on the ground. A key benefit is that you only bring on the extra resources when needed.
Peer Assist means our people work side by side with yours. It’s distinct from a Project Rescue in terms of intensity and, usually, longevity. Rescue is about restoring order; Peer Assist is about giving your team more confidence around major projects or especially risk-heavy phases of work.
Types of oversight support
Peer Assist may mean providing input to the strategic process or helping to plan a project of the kind where we need to be onsite. It may involve leadership, client liaison and ongoing project management. We may also provide engineers or other technical experts to advise on regulatory compliance. While today’s post-pandemic world presents new challenges, we still do our best to get onsite if needed. We can also provide much of our advice remotely.
