Pentagon Technical Services, a company renowned for its experienced leadership, was instrumental in securing a critical milestone for a facility that was grappling with significant challenges.

Pentagon Technical Services has carved a niche for itself in the industry, thanks to its straightforward style of leadership and its commitment to delivering results. The company takes great pride in its hands-on approach, with seasoned professionals who are not just leaders but also active participants on the ground. These professionals bring their extensive experience to bear in providing comprehensive project and construction management solutions.

One of Pentagon’s clients, a market leader in the development of critical infrastructure, was facing a daunting task. The client was on a tight schedule, with a looming handover of their facility to a hyperscale end user. With only twelve weeks left, the project was struggling to achieve the necessary levels of productivity. The existing project team was unable to meet the expectations of the business and project stakeholders. As a result, Pentagon Technical Services was brought on board to steer the project back on track.

The client was well aware of Pentagon’s track record, having successfully delivered for the same end user on multiple occasions. This prior experience was seen as invaluable for the client’s program delivery. Pentagon was tasked with providing senior leadership, with a specific mission to analyze the current state of the project and provide robust solutions to mitigate any potential impact on the agreed handover date.

While it’s easy to walk into a project and point out faults, Pentagon understood that this approach wouldn’t be helpful in a situation where the primary focus was on achieving a shared goal. Leveraging their experience and in-depth knowledge of the end user’s requirements, Pentagon developed a detailed action plan. This plan included a clear roadmap outlining the necessary steps for the end user to declare a successful handover.

Understanding the end user’s expectations was crucial to the success of this plan. However, even more important was the change management implemented by Pentagon and their ability to influence other project stakeholders to follow the newly designed strategy. This case study demonstrated a key characteristic of leadership: the ability to influence and motivate others.

At Pentagon Technical Services, we firmly believe that the best strategy for project success involves prudent use of the pre-construction duration and assembling a team that is passionate about project delivery and determined to succeed. Our teams of subject matter experts are ready to create a complete delivery solution, offering project security in terms of both time and cost. We look forward to helping more businesses achieve their project goals.
