Mace client story

one team “working together”

"The four hours that you spend on the Prendo computer simulation is very very powerful stuff; we use it on each of our projects in the very early stages and also during the interim stages as we are growing our management structure."
Richard Thorpe
Director Mace Group

The Mace Group is one of the world's most accomplished consultancy and construction firms, with a reputation for finding the best solutions to complex property and real estate challenges. Mace has helped to deliver some of the most inspiring projects and programmes around the world.
 
Mace has worked with Prendo on four major construction projects: GlaxoSmithKline’s Headquarters in Brentford, London; RBS’s Headquarters in Gogarburn, Edinburgh; Terminal 2 at Dublin Airport; and most recently on the Gateway project at Birmingham New Street station.
 
For each project, Prendo has run a series of half day workshops aimed at the managers from all the various organisations involved: clients, contractors, consultants and other key stakeholders. Based around a simulation of managing a complex set of relationships in a major project, the workshops help to instill a “one team” culture and they illustrate the importance of everyone understanding all the different perspectives. The workshops also illustrate the need for effective communication strategies, and the “working together” ethos that this encourages is increasingly regarded as one of the most crucial ingredients for success in major projects.
