Independent Project Confidence
Transforming Project Delivery Investment Into Capability, Leadership And Resilience
Projects are more than vehicles for delivery. They are opportunities to strengthen capability, develop leaders and improve organisational performance.
P34B combines proven project, programme and portfolio management practices with independent review, constructive challenge and practical support to help organisations transform project delivery investment into capability, leadership and resilience.
We work with you, not for you, building the confidence, capability and capacity to succeed without dependency.
Every project seeks to transfer knowledge, strengthen leadership and leave behind sustainable improvements that continue to create value long after our involvement ends.
High-Performing Organisations Do Not Just Deliver Projects. They Use Projects To Strengthen Capability, Leadership And Resilience, Creating Value Long After Delivery Has Ended.

Before I signed up to the programme, I didn't even know what Power BI was. So this is all very new to me in that sense. I've definitely enjoyed working on it, and I've learned a lot. Especially about how to contain data. It's still new, but I've learned a lot and I'm quite happy to continue learning with Power BI, so it's been very useful.
We run a Skills Bootcamp. Having gone through the process, I think I’m more of a fan of Bootcamps now. I can really see how you can get from one point to another, whether that's somebody who's looking for work or somebody who's looking to develop.
Would like to say thank you really appreciated all sessions that increased my knowledge I especially liked the introduction to pm and the career session really useful to expand my understanding and the significance of power bi.
My experience was much greater than initially thought it would be. It benefited me a lot more than I thought and was produced, unlike any training programme.
More than expected. The boot camp helped me improve both professionally and personally
This is excellent. You’ve achieved in 1 year more than others have achieved in 4 years
Neil successfully established, developed, and lead an extremely high performing team in a very challenging environment. Neil’s professionalism and expertise in project delivery transcended through his leadership and management.
the outcomes of Neil’s impact on the programme were multiple; greatly increased levels of integration, heightened ability to react to and manage change, better understanding of programme risk and opportunity, improved programme strategy and consolidated data driven reporting tools.
Nothing short of outstanding... to initially align the teams, construct a baseline, develop fit for purpose working arrangements, processes and tools expertly tailored for the Global Manufacturing environment.
The level of support was second to none. Very different from the college placement which I did, felt like part of the project, and worked on a whole live project. Neil always made time to support and ensured that I was on the right track”. (Callum) Student working with P34B on work placement.
Not what I expected at all but was much better - in a good way. We were given the responsibility of completing the work on our own, but with full support throughout the project. Involved in all aspects of the project, much better than I expected it to be. Enjoyed the level of involvement with the schools and the stakeholders
