Resourcing model with a difference

By TPG Africa
Johannesburg, 15 Oct 2014

Local project, programme and portfolio management company, TPG Africa, has introduced a totally new value-added resourcing module for business and project environments. This service offering is unique to the South African market and was introduced to assist clients with the ever-growing skills shortage, especially in the mining, engineering, construction, IT, banking and insurance sectors.

TPG Africa CEO, Pieter Meyer, says there is a huge demand for subject matter experts in South Africa. "We are highly recognised for our ability to source subject matter experts, general skills and support staff in these specialised sectors."

"Our resource service offerings evolve in line with market trends, working in close co-operation with our clients. We deliver best practice and leading-edge solutions, providing only the best skilled resources available in today's candidate-driven, professional-skills marketplace," he explains.

TPG Africa specialises in consulting, training and outsourcing. It aims to continuously improve its clients' project, programme, and portfolio management through the creation of synergy between people, processes and systems, in order to actively transform and deliver performance benefits and value, provide world-class solutions and manage time, cost, quality and risks.

To ensure the above-mentioned services are performed, TPG Africa provides cost-effective services for all clients by adopting a right-first-time philosophy. It also provides expertise within the portfolio and project office environments by using best practices, where applicable to an organisation.

Meyer says TPG Africa regards professionalism as the key to success. "We perform skills transfer, mentorship and coaching to staff within your company and other environments through facilitation and on the job support to ensure their self-sufficiency in the day-to-day operations. More importantly, we create and foster healthy working relationships with other local and international associations of similar interest in order to share resource skills with your company and its customers and stakeholders."

The Company's major differentiator is that it supports all its placed resources, contract and permanent resources, and provide best practice templates with no additional costs to the client. TPG Africa offers professional project portfolio, programme and project resource services by introducing its own best practice methodologies, processes and templates.

"Our resources are populated with subject experts in each discipline. Each of our business units is led by a highly experienced industry related manager, supported by skilled senior consultants and our directors have many years' practical experience to guide and support resources with knowledge," he explains.

"We are never complacent and continually seek to improve, not only to exceed our own potential but that of our employees, clients and suppliers. In addition to being investors in a 'Peoples Company', we are compliant and qualified, proving our ability to supply skilled, competent, workers to your company as a whole," he concludes.
