Third PersonConsulting Talk to us
For project and technology leaders

Your team was trained. The work didn't change.

Third Person Consulting finds out why, so you don't have to. We run your team through a game scenario of the work that matters, such as a go-live, an inspection or a handover, see where the calls go wrong, and fix the process so it holds.

Sound familiar?

01We trained everyone on the new software a year ago. Half the team still does it the old way.

We find where it stalls, test the new way with the people who use it, and set one way of working for the rest of the rollout.

02We go live across three plants in March, and the plan is a slide deck.

We rehearse launch week as a scenario on the real tasks, so the mistakes happen in a room, not on the floor.

03Our best superintendent retires in June, and most of her judgment calls aren't written down.

We capture the calls she makes and turn them into a scenario the next person can practise.

How it works: test it, fix it, keep it working

Start with one team. What the pilot finds decides what comes next, if anything.

01 · Test it

Scenario Pilot

US$2,400 fixed · about 3 weeks

  • A custom game scenario built on your team's real work
  • One half-day session: your team plays it, then a facilitated debrief
  • A readout: where the calls went wrong, and what to fix first
  • A year of access to the full Project: Countdown! platform
  • Your scenario as a SCORM course to keep. It runs in your LMS, or we provide one through our training partner

02 · Fix it

Fix the process

Scoped from what the pilot found

  • Agree one way of doing the work with the people who do it
  • Procedures, job aids and decision guides people will actually open
  • An expert's judgment calls captured before they retire
  • Practised in a scenario, so it sticks
Ask about a fix
03 · Keep it working

Managed Learning

Monthly, reviewed each quarter

  • Courses built and kept up to date, starting with your pilot scenario
  • Your LMS run for you: users, enrolments and reports, on your LMS or our training partner's
  • A fractional L&D lead, without a full-time hire
  • A monthly note: what's done, what's next, what's at risk

How a session runs: people make the calls themselves, with the information they'd really have. A wrong call costs minutes in a room, not money on site. The debrief ties each call to the practice behind it.

Who you'll work with

“I don't accept a best practice just because everyone else does.”

I've spent six years on project strategy and implementation in IT and in architecture, engineering and construction. Across very different organizations, the same problems kept showing up: training that never reached the work, procedures nobody followed, and best practices nobody had checked.

So I check them. Every recommendation we make cites an entry in our own Best Practices and Standards Database, with its sources and its limits. And I've spent five years designing role-play scenarios, because people learn the calls that matter by making them, not by watching slides.

What's out of step in your work?

Training that didn't change the work, a go-live coming up, or an expert about to retire. Start with a short note.

  • A reply from a person, not a sales sequence
  • A short call to understand the problem
  • A clear proposal, or an honest "we're not the right fit"
