Our Method
Inlecom Commercial Pathways has a proven history of successfully executing challenging international collaborative research projects across diverse sectors.
From Pre-Project Kick Off to Project Closure, our Project Managers control each stage of the process, applying best practice approaches such as PRINCE2, PMP and our extensive knowledge and expertise to ensure accurate monitoring, accountability, visibility and control of each element.
Pre-Project
In this phase we bring together domain experts, academic partners and technology providers to create a project proposal. We manage the process and ensure that the project objectives are achievable, the consortium partnership has the expertise to deliver and the proposal addresses the aims and ambitions of the call.
Project Initiation
In this phase we lead the consortium partners through the Grant Preparation Phase, liaising with the European Commission addressing the needs of all stakeholders to baseline the project. We ensure that the resources to deliver are in place and that we have clarified and have an agreed understanding of the scope of work with those partners that will be responsible for delivery, avoiding confusion and differing views which can cause issues once the project is in progress.
Project Management
When the project officially starts we coordinate the kick off of the project, instigate the internal project governance structures, boards and functional committees to manage the project, we provide guidance and training on administrative aspects, Project Reporting, Risk Management and Quality control. we also provide all necessary templating and supporting tools alongside the collaborative working environment and document repositories.
Project Delivery
In the project delivery phase our Project Managers oversee and control all aspects of the on time delivery of the project, ensuring the milestones are met and the deliverables submitted on time having passed a rigorous quality process. We manage all internal and official periodic reporting aspects. Not least, we ensure that the project partners are realising their goals and that the project as a whole is successful building long term collaborative relationships.
Project Delivery
Once the project is complete we manage the project closure phase, final reporting and payments. Having successfully delivered the project we have a final wash up and bring lessons learned.
