STRATEGIC PLANNING RESULTING IN COST SAVINGS: “Tercon was instrumental in helping us in our strategic planning to prioritize both short term and long term initiatives that resulted in cost savings on procurement, plant efficiencies and process improvements.”

CORRECTED TEAM MISALIGNMENT: “I was introduced to Tercon at a time when we faced major challenges – attempting to create an integrated, high-performing team where misalignment was already well-entrenched. The team was composed of four partners with significantly different corporate and national cultures, as well as diverse interests and agendas. Tercon brought unique methods and tools that helped us increase alignment around key issues and develop ways to communicate with each other that increased our focus, collaboration and efficiency.  I’ve worked with Tercon several times since and in each case found them to be highly competent, resourceful and results-oriented.”

CHANGED LEADERSHIP PARADIGM: “Tercon’s work with our team has significantly changed my leadership paradigm in a favorable way.”

IMPRESSIVE ALIGNMENT TOOLKIT: “Tercon has an impressive Project Team Alignment Toolkit which formed the basis of much of our work, homing in on those areas identified as requiring priority attention.”

FORMED GOOD PERSONAL AND TEAM BEHAVIOURS: “There is no doubt in my mind that the investment we have put in to embark on forming the basis of good personal- and team behaviours, and from that improving team dynamics through Tercon Consulting has had a significant positive impact on the performance of our project. Particularly through the difficult periods we experienced, the investment showed team cohesion and determination to solve issues together. In setting up any future project I am involved in, this will be one of the cornerstone activities, and Tercon is well equipped to deliver.”

QUICK ALIGNMENT AND FOCUS: “Tercon helped us become aligned and focused as an integrated team, quickly and with clarity, to help us meet a challenging set of expectations.”

EFFECTIVE TOOLS FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE TEAMS: “With larger, more complex projects I believe that on-going organizational capability development is essential, not optional. Tercon’s tools for aligning teams and building effective relationships within the team and outside the team helped us work together more efficiently and also to regularly measure our progress on the journey to become a high-performing project team.”

PROVIDED INSIGHTS AND LONG TERM TEAM DEVELOPMENT: “Tercon was brought onto our large capital project in Phase 2 to help develop the foundation for a high performance leadership team.  Tercon’s work helped each of the leadership team members with new insights on individual and team behaviors.  The leadership team quickly saw the benefits and extended Tercon’s services for assistance into each of their functional teams.  Finally, recognizing the dynamic membership of projects in Phase 3 and Phase 4, Tercon partnered with the project to develop a long term Team Development Plan.  Tercon’s understanding of our culture and our method of conducting business allowed for an excellent match of team performance and project development.”

IMPROVED FORWARD VISIBILITY: “Tercon developed the Project Team Alignment survey to collect and share results with each team manager and developed an improvement plan. Their team communication tools improved our forward visibility, coupled with a critical factor selection process and a new dashboard tool.”

HIGH IMPACT  LEADERSHIP MODEL: “Just prior to the merger I completed a 360 review and development plan.  The review was structured around our corporate mission, vision and values.  While that process yielded very valuable results and contributed significantly to my personal development, the new 360 process designed specifically around the new leadership model developed by Tercon, has proven even more valuable.  The connection between the 360 review questions and the leadership model will increase the effectiveness of my personal development plan.  The emphasis on leadership dimensions in this survey is a great compliment to our already strong Management processes and tools and is key to continue to gain ground on our competitors in the arena of  Project Leadership.”

PROVIDED VALUABLE TEAM BUILDING: “We engaged Tercon to support team building activities. The scope of services included the Project Team Alignment Survey, consulting services and coaching. The Project Team Alignment Survey was useful in assessing the team’s strengths and gaps. It provided a basis for pinpointed corrections around decision making and interface management. The project conducted internal planning workshops at major transition events such as award of EPIC contract, start of manifold fabrication at local yard and start of offshore installation.  Tercon provided support in planning these events and usually included a team building segment (i.e., decision making, communication plan, roles and responsibilities).  These events were very valuable as it provided a forum for the team to align on the next body of work. This is the area where Tercon provided the most value.”
