Our approach

The Thinc Education team begins each project by defining our client’s objectives. We also engage closely with key stakeholders in order to successfully manage – and align – their objectives. We firmly believe that investing time in the initial stage of a development enables us to plan each subsequent phase with maximum efficiency.

We select team members on the basis of their suitability for specific projects and proceed to establish clear briefs, programs and budgets. We have a genuine culture of risk management, which extends to our procurement strategies and resource allocation. Our clients benefit from our use of systems that have been developed by Turner & Townsend Thinc over many years. These enable us to successfully manage the programming, contract documentation, cost and activity control of each project we handle.
