How we help clients
OTC provides our clients with expert facilitators plus subject matter experts (as required) to conduct focused workshops. These workshops are fit-for-purpose and customised to your needs. We avoid following long winded, rigid facilitation processes. Such workshops empower teams to very quickly set the scene and agree on an action plan. We support our clients in the planning of the workshops to ensure that the targeted outcomes are met.
We are well versed in the use of collaboration tools, and can support projects and businesses to set up systems and tools to facilitate online collaboration.
We provide facilitation of training on specialised topics directed at owner representatives and project team members. These courses help project stakeholders get familiar with concepts from an owner perspective.
