Project Controls Expo

Global Project Controls Consultancy of the Year

What the judges are looking for

Judges are looking for the ways in which consultancies operate as a Project Controls specialist organisation, either fully or in part support of other organisations. How are you structured and how are your strategies formulated? How has your client’s culture been impacted as a result of engagement? How have you developed your client’s processes and implemented assurance? What examples can you share of team formation, work planning and managing data and other information? What client training was required and what were the implications to/for the client of its implementation? What changes are evident as a result and what measurements are in place to monitor continued improvement?

NOTE: A key element of the submission will be client endorsement.

Each of the criteria is scored between 0 (no evidence at all) and 10 (perfect evidence) with each section being weighted accordingly (see %).
