Project Management
Project Management is the historical core competency of setec organisation. Our methods and tools provide you with real-time insights into the progress of your projects, associated risks, and actions to be taken. They also offer visibility into strategic issues to monitor, such as availability of resources, feedback and data to gather, construction work preparation, and pre-commissioning.
Whether assigned to a single project or a portfolio of projects, integrated to a general management team or an operational department, setec organisation knows how to develop appropriate information collection systems and implement project management and oversight processes and tools. We provide our clients with a comprehensive and synthesized overview to organize, coordinate, anticipate, correct, and control.
We develop a comprehensive vision of project management through our approach of “Augmented and Sustainable PMO”:
- “Augmented” because our methods and tools structure, utilize, and analyze all data generated by the project, ensuring a dynamic view of progress and reporting levels tailored to needs.
- “Sustainable” because our ambition is to integrate environmental aspects broadly (carbon, resources, biodiversity) as a fundamental component of project management, complementing the quality/costs/delays triangle.
In this approach, risk management is central to the approach, allowing for the objective and quantifiable assessment of interdependencies between these themes. We provide you with a thorough view of the risks involved, as well as support to anticipate, prioritize, and address them effectively.
The added value of setec organisation
We advise each project owner based on their needs, drawing on over 50 years of experience across more than 3,000 projects. Always at the forefront of innovation, we utilize tried and tested tools and, when necessary, adapt them to the project’s specific requirements. setec organisation’s teams rely on PMP® (Project Management Professional) certified consultants and employ the most effective project management methods and tools: specialized software (Primavera, Tilos…), innovative digital solutions for remote sharing and collaboration, reporting on Power BI, and BIM 4D, 5D, or 6D according to specific needs.
Innovation at the heart of our Project Management Practice
At setec organisation, we view innovation as a way to challenge our practices and enhance efficiency. For our project management assignments, our approach focuses on innovative tools and methods that align with your needs. These can be developed by our own engineers, those within the setec group, or sourced externally.
Project Management tasks
Our goal: to ensure the collection, processing, and appropriate level of reporting of information/data on projects or project portfolios to maintain control and provide tailored reporting for all phases and your needs.
Time management
Thanks to our expertise, we ensure robust schedules that take into account the specificities of each sector and project owner: diagnostics of applicable regulatory procedures, dialogue and consultation sequences, input data collection, consultation and procurement procedures, and board review processes. Once the master project schedule is developed, we anticipate potential obstacles to ensure to the coherence of key milestones and avoid risks of delays throughout all project phases, and in line with your specific needs.
Cost control
Cost control is a crucial objective for project success, especially since most projects rely on public funding. Our experience in establishing operational budgets, particularly for large-scale development, building, or infrastructure projects, combined with our rigor in project management control, allows us to provide a precise view of incurred expenses, actual production, remaining work, and to alert as soon as a discrepancy between the reference schedule and actual expenditures is detected.
For certain assignments, we deploy internal financial controllers to manage costs.
Risk Management
Our approach involves placing risk management at the core of project management, as each risk can impact the quality, deadlines, cost, and environmental outcomes of the projects. It includes a thorough risk analysis from the project’s inception and identifies the operational stakeholders best positioned to address these risks. It relies on facilitation methods that empower each stakeholder and foster the sharing of proposed mitigation actions.
Management of environmental impacts
Considering and monitoring all environmental impacts of projects, including their carbon footprint, is an integral aspect of project management, alongside quality, cost, and deadlines. This environmental approach to PMO ideally relies on various upstream processes (life cycle analysis, environmental value analysis, environmental certification), which help define target objectives to achieve and monitor throughout the entire life cycle of the projects.
