McNicholas encourage collaborative working with all our clients to achieve optimum results. We are in our eighteenth year of delivering the Phoenix Natural Gas alliance. Our objective within any programme or project is to integrate seamlessly, aligning closely with clients, partners and project teams, to examine challenges from new perspectives and to seek out transferable solutions and benefits.
By working openly and honestly with our clients, we gain valuable insights into their organisational culture, needs, objectives and aspirations, enabling us to deliver informed innovative solutions that consistently meet their demands introducing the collaborative benefit of proven value.
Our plans and processes are consistent with BS11000 for Collaborative Business Relationship Management systems. We are currently working towards achieving this accreditation by working closely with clients and partners.
Experience shows us the best results in any delivery project come from integrated teams that work together as one organisation, which is why we encourage collocated teams wherever we can.
