Stakeholder management and project organization

Asset design
Balance technical and commercial design considerations and support building capabilities that enable project leaders to make appropriate trade-offs.
Value engineering
Apply design-to-cost and design-to-market principles to maximize the value of infrastructure through proprietary tools and methodologies like engineering trade-off approaches, construction cost benchmarking, and cleansheet analysis.
Procurement strategies
Optimize costs and align the incentives of downstream suppliers and subcontractors through our category consolidation approach and supplier training.
Lean construction
Implement lean construction techniques such as critical path compression, parallel processing, and the last planner system to improve productivity and complete projects on time and on budget.
Commercial excellence
Apply cutting-edge sales and marketing techniques to help clients understand customers, develop pricing tactics to optimize yield, and brainstorm fare and non-fare revenue strategies.
Operational excellence

Examples of our work
Driving growth
Worked with a South American toll operator to design a new organizational structure for its corporate center—redefining roles, applying a shared service model, and developing a five-year strategy to support its future growth goals, all while managing costs.
Reducing costs
Helped a European government agency analyze its road maintenance and finance decisions to determine future funding, with subsequent support of the road authority leading to savings of 15 to 20 percent.
Increasing efficiency
Supported an urban transit system in identifying and implementing cost-efficiency measures in metro and bus operations, as well as reducing its broader administrative and support functions.
Spurring investment
Helped a North American government entity design a new public–private agency to oversee infrastructure investments and public funds to spur private investment in public infrastructure.
