People are the secret

To understand how procedures and systems work is to recognise that people are the secret.

In fact, people make procedures and systems work - not the other way around. So, if a procedure or system does not efficiently give an outcome, then it will be ignored, not used and treated on a token basis.

Enthalpy's approach to procedures and systems is to seek the fit-for-purpose peak and adapt to the needs of the particular project and client. The procedures and systems must be adapted - not the owner, but to the project needs.

Enthalpy's processes of setting project needs pivot around a project execution planning structure.

Beyond processes

In Enthalpy's experience, the complexity and demands of projects have continued to escalate over past decades to the stage that natural skills and experiences alone are not enough to guarantee that following processes will yield targeted outcomes.

Instead, results can only be reasonably assured by using practical and cost effective procedures and standards.

Enthalpy's procedures and systems have been purpose-designed to be able to be transferred to any particular project or client on a functional basis. Each function stands as a module, able to be tailored to suit.

The procedures and systems are made up of individual user-based templates with guidelines, rather than a 'how to, what to' textstyle of manual.

Proformas to adopt systems

Essential to Enthalpy's approach is the use of proformas.

These include template-style documents that span the full spectrum of most project needs and are designed to be easily adapted to a particular project need.

All of Enthalpy's proformas are based on a generic distillation of Enthalpy's experiences.

By continually considering its experience, Enthalpy ensures its baseline documents are constantly upgraded and renewed.
