09 Dec 09. Four experienced firms have today combined to launch a new alliance aimed at providing Defence sector procurement teams with a range of services including the development of bid and delivery teams, plus the provision of the best collaborative working environments for successful defence projects and programmes. With large numbers of Government procurement programmes failing to deliver on time and on budget the Alliance of firms has been established to offer procurement teams a suite of proven tools, skills and resources to help organisations – large or small, Government or industry – to work at the peak of their effectiveness and efficiency. The four firms, AxiaMetrics, Christopher Lewis Associates, DigitalMeeting and Precision Leadership, have combined to offer end to end support and guidance to help procurement and programme delivery teams identify where, what and when critical issues need to be addressed. Each of the four individual firms will bring together their expertise and range of services to help companies counter serious defence programme deficiencies including slow progress, high staff attrition rates and cost overrun.
The four firms specialise in the following areas:
* AxiaMetrics – specialists in the profiling of individuals, organisations and teams through value-based profiling technology. Outputs include unique assessments and people solutions in recruitment, personal development, project management and team building.
* Christopher Lewis Associates – a full service, brand led marketing consultancy with capability in evaluating and developing ‘what success will look like’ and then evolving/codifying the right culture to enable success.
* DigitalMeeting – a global audio, web and visual conferencing service that negates the need to travel and delivers the opportunity to unify the firm’s communication process; it enables the firm to discuss, share and collaborate with information in a totally secure and cost-effective environment.
* Precision Leadership – an Executive Coaching and Consultancy focused on developing the skills needed to achieve targets; it develops the leaders and employees within the business, enabling clients to achieve both their individual and organisation’s objectives.
