A snapshot of the type of planning input Start 2 Finish provides across live delivery, challenged programmes, delay position review and practical contractor-side support.
The point of this page is straightforward: show the pressure points, the standard of planning judgement and the type of support clients rely on when the position needs a harder look.
Can this team look at a live programme, understand what is going wrong and help us deal with it properly? That is the standard this page is trying to meet.
Contractors and project teams are not looking for planning language for its own sake. They want to know whether the input improves visibility, sharpens challenge and gives leadership something dependable to work from.
The examples below are there to show dependable planning support, sound judgement and work that stands up on live projects.
Start 2 Finish is led by Mike Jackson. For serious buyers, that matters because the value sits in the quality of the judgement being applied to programme logic, delay position, sequencing weakness and delivery risk.
That is what the references and examples below are meant to show.
I worked with Mike for around 10 years and I found Mike to be the best Planner I have ever worked with. Mike helped support many delay claims with successful outcomes. Mike is a calm and considered individual — always willing to listen and debate alternative points of view. Mike is very much focussed upon gaining the optimum result. Mike never missed a deadline and always delivered.
