Project Management

Schick’s approach to project management is centered on our “Have a Plan” system, which is a continuous cycle of planning, communication, execution, and review.

Our standard processes and time fences ensure that the team is clear on what needs to be done to deliver a successful project. Our reporting systems follow the same time fences to ensure that any issues are dealt with and the critical path is maintained.

This approach allows us to hold ourselves accountable to the plan and deliver successful project outcomes.
