Some client testimonials about the PCI team:
"We heard yesterday that we have achieved preferred proponent status for the project. Please accept a very big personal thank you from me to Martin and Holly. I feel strongly that we would not have achieved this without your help. Look forwards to working with you all again in the future. " (ALT member successful proponent)
"We believe that the services and deliverables provided by PCI throughout the selection process were of the highest standard. PCI persistently supported the owners in developing Request for Proposal, selection panel scoring guidelines, the proposed commercial framework, and other inputs. PCI dealt with all issues with a high level of professionalism and provided exceptional commercial advice to the owners based on PCI’s considerable experience and knowledge of previous alliances." - Owner’s representative for two major rail alliance establishment processes
"We were very pleased with PCI’s coaching for this project. Given the tight timeframe, we appreciated your responsiveness and flexibility, and ability to zero-in on the areas that would add the most value. The transformation in our team over the two days of coaching was remarkable. On behalf of our team, I’d like to thank you, Martin, Holly, and Jim."
- Design Manager - $600m Alliance Victoria
"I found the day to be extremely beneficial to the needs of the cultural advisory group (CAG). The models and techniques used were all relevant to what we were working on and gave us a great start to commence our decision making." - Coordinator Cultural Advisory Group – Government Department Victoria
"We engaged PCI to support the establishment of a $300m project alliance. The context for the alliance was a challenging one given scoping options and interdependencies with other projects. PCI provided excellent insight, materials and support to help generate an excellent outcome for the alliance. A particular highlight for us as experienced alliance practitioners was the rigour and 'real time' responsiveness of the commercial alignment processes and tools - the likes of which we had not seen in previous alliance establishment processes and which added real value to the commercial alignment process, to our value-for-money aspirations and to building a robust relationship with our proponents. We valued the ability to have challenging discussions with PCI as the process unfolded, focused on striving for continually improved outcomes. PCI then moved seamlessly into coaching the successful proponent team as it joined with our team members to mobilise the alliance." - Director, Major Capital Road Project, Victoria
"Congratulations on the development of the positive energy with such a large audience. From my interaction with participants, I was impressed with the level of engagement with many of the new starters. It was a great 'on-boarding' experience." - ALT member $600m Alliance Victoria (Alliance launch event with 120 people)
"We engaged PCI to conduct assessment of our alliance and to run a 2-day retreat for our leadership team. During the retreat, we were skillfully encouraged and provoked to have honest, open - and, sometimes fierce - conversations to resolve sensitive issues and conflicts that had built-up over several years. We all left the retreat feeling fully connected and aligned as a team which allowed us to positively move forward. Having worked with PCI on a number of occasions now, I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for highly effective performance coaching and facilitation services." - Alliance Manager, Rail Maintenance Alliance, SA
"PCI consultants have consistently added significant value; initially, through the selection process (helping to develop our consortium into a high performing team) and then through the development and delivery phases by providing timely, insightful challenges, advice and support to a wide cross-section of the alliance team, from ALT through to guys in the field." - HR and Team Development Manager $600m Alliance Victoria
