Expert advice for informed decisions
Unlock Maximum Value Early
The optimal timing for maximising the value of a project is during the early phases, where there is the greatest ability to influence ultimate project outcomes. The emphasis on these phases is known as front-end loading (FEL). Without appropriate attention and experience applied to the quality of work at the front end of a project, the project will almost certainly fail to meet its objectives.
Cheshire Solutions plays a pivotal role in ensuring these objectives are met by bringing its deep expertise and strategic focus to help support the early stages.
- Front-end Loading (FEL): Emphasising the importance of quality work in the early phases to ensure project success.
- Benchmarking: Comparing key metrics and practices with best-in-class projects to identify areas for improvement.
- Assurance: Providing independent counsel to the Board and Shareholders to ensure project alignment with strategic goals.
