Our Services

Project Management

On Course Consulting leads projects from inception through final delivery and transition to operations. We improve business operations by introducing custom or packaged software solutions that enable process changes and deliver important benefits to the organization. On Course plans the project, inspires the team and delivers the results. We develop a thorough understanding of business objectives and structure projects accordingly. Our clients grow accustomed to projects being delivered on schedule and within their budget parameters.

Transformational business changes involve multiple, diverse stakeholders within and outside the organization. On Course combines the disciplines of project management and organizational change management to ensure engagement, operational readiness, and ownership in the new solution.

Clients turn to On Course to represent their interests by managing vendors who are delivering new system capabilities. International consulting firms partner with On Course when their more challenging projects need strong leadership. Our independent project assessments identify risks that are taking on-going initiatives off track and propose solutions to bring them back in line. We bring the tools, the training and the real world proven expertise to lead successful programs and project initiatives..

Management Consulting

On Course provides advice and insight to organizations searching for ways to improve their operations in response to market pressures and new opportunities. We consider the requirement for change and the potential return on investment when forming our recommendations.

On Course develops business cases to determine if investing in new system solutions is warranted. Clients value our objectivity when evaluating candidate solutions and identifying the benefits that will result.

Clients rely on us to create roadmaps that illustrate how a series of system initiatives will improve their operations and identify the resources required to achieve those goals. Our approach allows executive sponsors to clearly see the impact of their investment decisions.

On Course draws on 30 years of experience when defining project governance structures. Many projects involve diverse sponsors and stakeholders. We define models that respect their priorities and align the outcomes they expect from the project. Clients have asked On Course to prepare governance models for projects in financial services, provincial governments and across provincial jurisdictions.
