Begin Your ClientSide Transition Today
Take Our ClientSideSuccess Transition Webinar to Quickly Reposition Your Skillset and Secure Your First Client Side Role
Does This Sound Familiar?
Are you an Architect, Engineer, Surveyor or Planner who wants to pivot ClientSide without the expense of a post-graduate qualification, but find there are few resources available to assist?. Have you discovered that the majority of Project Management frameworks provide generic advice for several sectors, rather than focusing on ClientSide environments in the Construction and Development Sector exclusively? Then even when you do find something specialised, it's about ‘how to get’ accredited rather than ‘how to do’ the job. Without the right tools, it seems like the ClientSide skillset is learned ‘on-the-job’ rather than anywhere else, but it doesn’t have to be that way…

Your Host
Noelle McManus, MRICS, RIBA Client Advisor is a ClientSide Project Leader who has spent over two decades delivering development projects internationally. She has delivered for local and central government, university, developer and family office ‘client’ entitites in the UK, Ireland and Australia.
When Noelle first transitioned ClientSide from consultancy, she discovered that there was still much to learn to ‘client’ projects well. With little resources available to assist, she learned her ClientSide ‘know-how’ on-the-job, like many others.

What You’ll Learn During the Webinar:
Introduction - ClientSide Transition (5 mins)
Introduction and overview of webinar learning outcomes.
Learning Outcome 1 - The ClientSide Perspective (15 mins)
Understand how ‘ClientSide’ and ‘Delivery’ environments differ in mindset terms:
Being Strategic: Taking a longer term perspective to understand ‘why’ and ‘how’ your client wants to achieve project completion, rather than delivering to ‘contract’ only.
Client Stakeholder Management: Switching from managing a single external ‘client’ to having multiple ‘client stakeholders’ with different roles and influence levels.
An Adoptable Generalist: No longer a specialist providing contract deliverables, you are now an adoptable generalist, ‘clienting’ projects at both a strategic and detailed level.
Learning Outcome 2 - The ClientSide Skillset (15 mins)
Recognise that the ClientSide Skillset has three strands:
Managing Yourself: with a combination of management and leadership to influence others, secure decisions, model the way, highlight risks and provide informed advice.
Managing the ‘Client’ Organisation: working with stakeholders, internal governance processes and confirming resources and support are in place to deliver at each stage.
Managing the External Teams: briefing, commissioning, monitoring, challenging and supporting the design and delivery teams to provide the outputs and outcomes required from the project.
Learning Outcome 3- The Client Value-Add (15 mins)
Add value on a daily basis by:
Thinking Many Moves Ahead: to resolve problems and unlock opportunities.
Being Commercial: selecting a suitable project strategy, finding additional floorspace, commissioning the right team, challenging cost and programme assumptions.
Securing and Maintaining Senior Management Support: recognise when its in place and when it isn’t so you can do something about it.
