ConsultantsOur Consultants are a team of expert practitioners. They’ll not only advise you on what to do, but become part of delivering the answer. They can help you to make better decisions, reduce costs, build a more effective project organisation and develop appropriate project management strategies.

They start by understanding your organisation: your operation, competitive dynamics, culture, objectives and challenges. By seeing projects the way you do they can work to your agenda, not their own and will apply their insights to your specific strategic and operational issues. However, ACA’s culture of curiosity, innovation and reinvention means that your thinking will be challenged - with a distinctive point of view.

We’ll deliver the value we promise and that you expect.

That could mean faster time to value, lower costs, improved cash flow and higher revenue. By delivering successful projects this can help you achieve new goals, penetrate new markets, create successful mergers and simplify legacy systems and emerging technologies alike.

Let the Experts Help You!Project management consultants utilise process, discipline, and leadership to break down functional silos, engage stakeholders, and ensure your initiatives are completed within budget, scope, and schedule.

You can begin a project with us, using one of our project managers, or if your project is missing milestones or is lacking momentum, contact us and we will deploy project management consultants to get your project back on track.

Our core imperative when undertaking assignments is that of knowledge transfer (on the job training) so that your staff will gather the knowledge from our consultants to enable them to run your projects successfully once the ACA project management consultants leave your premises.

Project management consultancy services are necessary and critical to the success of complex projects (those that are high impact and time sensitive) within your organisation.

ACA selectively recruits, trains, and develops employees with strong interpersonal skills to complement their solid business and technical acumen. They receive ongoing education from our full-time, internal trainers, and attend industry conferences and training to keep current on evolving best practices. Our consultants are project management certified.

More than 75% of unmanaged projects are unsuccessful. Let ACA’s project management experts help you mitigate that risk by planning for every contingency and keeping projects on target—and on schedule. With an experienced guiding hand, your project will always be on the right side of the “success” statistic.
