Delivering your transformation with expert leadership every step of the way

For change and transformation to be successful in your business, we believe in adopting these change principles

We make real change happen

Be ready for change: ensure your business is set up to deliver the scale of change required by identifying the support you need early to help your business on its change journey Understand the leadership that you need: bring in key people who know what works and what doesn’t, they will help to navigate through challenges, getting things right from the outset to avoid failure Focus on the outcome, not the process: choosing the right partner is critical to tailor the correct approach for your business and outcomes Exploit your core capabilities: understand the areas which really differentiate your business and prioritise them to support your change and transformation efforts Embed full business ownership: ensure full business involvement and understanding so that change is embedded for long-term success.

The key to successful change

Every day we see change. With so much pressure for change through digital evolution, regulatory change and evolving customer expectations, if you’re not keeping up it doesn’t take long to fall behind.

Successful change brings incredible value to your business. Change contributes to cost saving, output efficiency and can accelerate your business to the forefront of its industry. With over 27 years’ global experience, Project One has led change across a vast number of industries and sectors, including Public Sector via approved Government supplier routes, forging long- term, trusted partnerships. We are proud to have been recognised for the past seven years by the Financial Times as a leading management consultancy, based on feedback from our peers and customers. In addition, for three years running, we have been ranked the #1 Boutique consultancy for PPM by Consultancy.uk.

Our Values

The foundation of our business

Manchester 10k for Charity

Charity Sports day

Giving back Project One is proud to have formally committed to the UN Race to Zero campaign and signed up to the UK Government sponsored SME Climate Hub. We are working towards our goal of halving our carbon emissions by 2030, or sooner and becoming Net Zero Carbon by 2050. Over the past five years, we’ve made significant progress towards our sustainability goals, achieving our target of 50% carbon reduction by 2030. From digitalising our processes and meetings, to having a firm handle on waste reduction, our business and our people strive to be ‘green’ in everything we do.

Our values have been established since 1998 and we are proud to live and breathe these every day.

Make a real difference: our passion is change, we get stuck in and create opportunities to make a difference to you and your business. Build trust and earn respect: standing shoulder-to-shoulder with you, we stay focused on your agenda, working hard to build a respectful partnership. The power of the team: our collective knowledge is invaluable in helping you to avoid obstacles and achieve success. Create clarity: we keep it simple, making complexity understandable through clear, consistent communication. Do the right thing: with no hidden agenda, we stand up for what we believe in, and address difficult issues head-on. You’re kept in control, and assured of our honesty, integrity and professionalism. Do what we promise and more: we’ll get you from A to B, going the extra mile through exceptional delivery.

Embedded in our culture is a strong focus on community and people, which is why we work hard to give back. Through our Project One Charity Fund, we support charities and communities, backing causes that our people are passionate about. The Charity Committee leads this effort by organising at least one company-wide event each quarter, donating to both national and international charities, and supporting those local to Project One. We utilise the OnHand app making charitable activities more accessible to us all. For every eight charitable missions completed OnHand plant a tree in our company forest, helping us with our climate initiatives.
