Minerva Programme and Project Management 

Building and Developing High-Impact High-Value Project Cultures

Value and Resource Focused

There are some truly worrying figures surrounding programme and project management delivery. Recent research (2020) by KMPG suggests that 70% of organizations have had at least one project failure in the past year. 50% of projects failed to consistently achieve their objectives. And only 58% of enterprises, organisations and businesses understand and appreciate the value of project management, meaning that over 40% of organisations and businesses waste resources.

Conversely, research suggests that enterprises, organisations and businesses which pursue best practice programme and project management practices waste 28 times fewer resources than those which do not.

Smarter, Intelligent Project Management Frameworks 

Minerva Programme and Project Management’s consulting services have one simple objective. Working as your trusted business and knowledge partner, we bring our multidisciplinary, multisector expertise and international experience and insight to help assure end to end programme and project excellence, across their lifecycle and all organisational levels.

Our proprietary Metian framework is designed to allow clients achieve a deeper and clearer understanding of their current programme and project management capability, capacity and delivery; as well as conduct a health check on current existing projects.

Taking a holistic, deep-dive assessment and analysis approach, Metian builds a PPM Index, scored across seven pillars and some 50 input factors. Through the resulting PPMI, clients can identify opportunities for and the pillars around which they can confidently improve their programme and project management; as well as allowing us to better deliver smarter, intelligent and bespoke services, solutions and support.

It is against this background that we offer clients internationally an exceptional depth and breadth of multidisciplinary, end to end portfolio, programme and project management expertise, experience and services, garnered across decades of experience across government, military, engineering, aviation and business environments.

To achieve success, we deploy our proprietary Agere* paradigm, an integrated, hybrid framework, developed over years of professional experience and specifically designed in accordance with our central tenet that projects are living, dynamic organisms with operate within macro and micro ecosystems, and are subject to contextual and environmental factors.

The Agere* paradigm draws upon military, aviation, engineering and technology frameworks; medical and environmental concepts; as well as PRINCE2 and Agile methodologies; all to produce a multi-dimensional, SMARTER*, intelligent framework,
