L&D advisory

L&D Advisory: the PM-Partners approach
By blending expert advisory and consulting with specialist in-house training, our approach is proven to achieve effective, long-term results. We customise every solution to meet your desired outcome, leading to a noticeable impact on operational performance and your bottom line.
A combined training and advisory solution that’s tailored to your needs
Organisations across the globe are struggling to adapt, faced with an increasingly disparate workforce and significant budget cuts while at the same time needing to improve profitability. It’s now more important than ever to strategically invest in internal capability uplift, reducing the cost of outsourced talent, retaining loyal resources and creating a more efficient, profitable in-house delivery model.
Traditional training provides crucial theoretical grounding, but often isn’t applied in a way that delivers true capability uplift back in the workplace. Similarly, advisory can deliver solid project outcomes, but effective transformational change is rarely sustained once consultants leave.
Drawing on decades of global client experience, PM-Partners blends specialist training with expert advisory services to deliver a far more effective model for change. We work closely with organisations to develop a customised L&D solution that’s tailored to your unique objectives, challenges and capabilities, and offer ongoing mentoring and advice to ensure you’re set up for success long after we’re gone.
We work closely with you to understand your business and project goals, L&D objectives and budget, defining clear, measurable outcomes. Combining strategic, hands-on consultation with the relevant capability assessments enables us to create a tailored solution that delivers maximum returns.

The competition is constantly testing out new strategies in order to do something better, reach clients faster and complete tasks more efficiently.
We have decades of experience in training, delivery, coaching, and advisory services, and we work closely with our customers to develop a customised solution that is tailored to your own unique objectives, challenges and competencies.

Stephen spent over 20 years with four very diverse Multinational organisations tackling a range of complex problems and developing a mastery in project, program and portfolio management execution.
Stephen is now building a project management consultancy that aims to help an array of clients from the public and private sectors and a team who are client outcome focussed and in tune with the business strategies of our clients. The type of people who inspire me are those who have an insatiable desire to learn from the environments around them, people who have enormous tenacity and never give up and those who take enormous pride in what they do and how they go about it.
