Starfish has an impressive track record assisting New Zealand organisations in both the public and private sector.
We drive value and improvements from and throughout the programme and project process.
Our emphasis is on providing pragmatic solutions to promptly deliver defined outcomes.
We continually demonstrate that a good methodology is an enabler, not a handbrake and, importantly, does not have to be hard work!
What We See
Our clients face increasing pressure to ‘do more with less’ as well as to drive improved value from their relationships. This pressure comes from both their own activities and their suppliers of products and services to them.
Additionally, our clients can face ongoing challenges in handling large programmes of business activity, and in having the right expertise to progress particular initiatives.
This approach ensures Starfish delivers the right expertise at the right time, resulting in efficient delivery and maximised value from your investment.
Our Team
We provide experienced and pragmatic programme and project practitioners, whether part time, full-time or on an as-required basis, depending on what suits our clients. Our large team delivers generalist and specialist services that are fit for purpose and reinforce good practice. Importantly, our team is employs relevant methods such as PRINCE2 (widely supported within the public and private sectors) as well as MSP and related certifications.
The Starfish Programme and Project Management Practice can assist at each and every stage of the programme or project and at all levels, whether strategic, tactical or operational. Our experienced programme and project management consultants assist our clients with:

Starfish Programme and Project Management Value Proposition
The value proposition you access through Starfish includes:
Consultancy
High quality advice and service delivery can often be provided without requiring
full time contractors on site, as you may only need help with part of the process e.g. business case development, programme or PMO establishment or change management plan. We ensure costs for completion of services are well managed to ensure value for money.
Capacity
Extra hands are available to bolster teams, help with interim staffing, or simply to assist with high workloads. Quality consultants can be available at short notice.
Co-ordination
Different skill-sets are required at different stages, or are needed to perform specific functions e.g.
business analysis or coordination. We coordinate the resources used to minimise the management our clients are required to do.
Compliance
Starfish understands and supports good industry practice, particularly those required or encouraged by Government. We work with our clients to navigate these requirements and to mitigate associated challenges and risks.
Commitment
We are also committed to the advancement of the project management profession in New Zealand, and support the initiatives and growth of the Institute of Management Consultants of New Zealand (Starfish is the first NZ company accredited to the IMCNZ) and the Project Management Institute (PMI).
Certainty
Buying a service, rather than deploying a person, provides certainty. Outcomes, deliverables, timelines and price are clearly defined, and it is up to Starfish to deliver.
Compatible
The processes and tools we use are pragmatic and fit for purpose. They are simple for our clients to use and re-use. They seek to engage and enable governance groups, stakeholders, teams and business managers.
