Why Pulse?

Building expert, hands-on teams

Whatever the scale and scope of your plans, we’ll build a project team with all the experience and expertise you need – engaged, motivated and committed to delivering on your objectives. Led by a senior Pulse consultant, they’ll take a hands-on, collaborative approach, and be an approachable source of support, every step of the way.

Managing complex projects

From day one of your project, we’ll establish a clear brief, with realistic goals, backed up by data science. We’ll set out transparent schedules, processes and quality standards, and we’ll take a ‘design by cost’ approach to keep your project on track, and on budget. It’s a tried and tested approach that makes sure we deliver – and never miss a deadline.

Identifying risks… and opportunities

We take a proactive approach to risk management, diligently exploring every uncertainty to avoid, mitigate and prevent project and commercial risks. At the same time, we’re actively looking for opportunities we can exploit to your benefit, from cost and time savings to innovative approaches that help fuel your competitive edge.

Portfolio and PMO

We give you full oversight of your capital project portfolio from project inception through to close out. That includes facilitating prioritisation, approval, deferral or acceleration to meet key business drivers, such as your spending plans. We then help you adopt consistent, standardised project delivery processes, right across your portfolio.

Scope and change management

We’ll work with you to bring scope change discipline into your ongoing project management processes. Our rigorous approach to creating, developing and rolling out a dedicated change management plan makes sure your budgets and schedules stay under control at all times, however complex the project.

Cost and schedule risk assessments

To give you real clarity and confidence, we use our data-driven Monte Carlo based risk assessments to demonstrate how likely projects are to meet their budget and timeline. It’s a transparent, objective approach that helps you make informed decisions, every step of the way.

Data, BI and visualisation

We’re here to help you accelerate your decision making by adopting state-of-the-art data management and visualisation tools. Together, they transform large data sets into bespoke, tailored visualisations that can be shared across your business.

Developing your entire portfolio

Whatever the scale of your life sciences construction project, we’ll see it as part of the bigger picture, understanding the part it plays in your future growth. With deep expertise in portfolio management, we can help you maximise capacity, efficiency and flexibility across your properties, realising their potential and unlocking yours.
