Stryker Osteonics, Cork

“The objective in summary was to quadruple the size of this facility, take the work force from 105 to 330 and transfer the largest plant in the corporation into Cork in less then 18 months.

Fergus and his team conducted a 5-day session on site and looking back gave us the tool kit we needed to manage and execute a project of this magnitude successfully. We found his templates very user friendly and easy to understand and implement. His approach to PM using his 10-step methodology is excellent and one of the best I have seen. His workshop was open enjoyable and very practical and a good learning forum. He covers the psychology of PM quite well.

We found ETP’s approach aligned itself very well with our Business Process Excellence program so well in fact that they have been appointed as our partners for our International affiliates. Project management was seen as the first process and most critical to be overhauled in this program. Having worked with ETP gave us a big jump on the rest of the SHO sites. The process we introduced is now a benchmark in this organisation and will stay with us for a long time to come. The team completed their project on time with an outstanding quality performance and well within budget and at no stage were they ever unsure of where they were in terms of timing and issues.

I would recommend ETP to organisations as a great partner for introducing a project management methodology to their people.”
