3PM has been built on the strength of our long term relationships developed with our valued clients, project teams and third parties alike. Our business was specifically established to provide a personal yet professional service, and we continue to evolve to adapt our services by listening to our clients’ needs and providing tailored advice specific to the business needs of each.
Our ethos and culture is underpinned by trust, honesty and diligence to create a collaborative environment with our industry colleagues based on mutual respect. We continue to partner with the best in the industry to form specialist, cohesive teams in order to provide high performance solutions for our mutual clients.
At the core of our business is our passionate and tenacious team who are empowered to make decisions and will go the extra mile to achieve the best results on everything we do. We have developed an environment based on harnessing teamwork, rewarding success and recognising the skills and talents of the whole team.
Project Management is not usually associated with creativity, as it is traditionally the preserve of the design contingent within project teams. At 3PM creativity means that we will always look to develop solutions that can be explained in a variety of styles, forms and outputs, all of which are tailored for the audience rather than just delivering what can sometimes be a routine answer.
We use tools and techniques that we have developed to ensure the advice we are providing can be understood by all and can be implemented in a number of ways to achieve the same result.
At 3PM we take the strategic view of all commissions to identify where opportunities lie to add value and act as the catalyst by bringing together the best teams for our clients. We spend time looking at what the client needs; asking why they need what they have asked for and what behaviours and skills are best suited to deliver the need they have of the team.
We feel that our expertise and the way we deliver complex scenarios is our differentiation from the established traditions and perceptions of Project Management execution.
We pride ourselves on our ability to create an environment that encourages innovation and tests the perceived norms.
We look for bespoke solutions where appropriate that enhance our clients’ existing systems and add to the Intellectual Property of all our commissions.
