About Projectonomics

For two decades we've been the partner organisations turn to when a programme is too complex, too critical, or too far off track to leave to chance.

Our Story

Built on the belief that no programme should fail for want of discipline

Projectonomics LLC was founded in London in 2004 by a group of chartered engineers and programme directors who had watched too many worthy projects collapse under the weight of poor governance. They set out to build a consultancy defined by one thing: delivery certainty.

Two decades on, we operate across 42 countries and 27 industries, from single high-stakes projects to enterprise portfolios worth billions. What hasn't changed is the founding principle — that structure, transparency, and rigour are what turn ambition into outcome.

We are proudly independent, privately held, and answerable only to the clients whose programmes we deliver. That independence is what lets us tell boards the truth, hold suppliers to account, and keep every engagement honest.

What defines us

  • Independent and privately owned since 2004
  • Chartered project professionals (ChPP, PMP, PRINCE2)
  • ISO 9001 & ISO 27001 certified operations
  • Transparent, fully auditable engagement model
  • Sector specialists with security clearance where required
Our Values

Principles we don't trade away

Integrity

We report the truth of a programme, even when it's unwelcome. Every engagement is transparent and fully documented.

Rigour

Discipline is our craft. Plans are baselined, risks are quantified, and controls are evidenced end to end.

Accountability

We own outcomes, not activity. Success is measured against your business case, not our hours.

Discretion

We handle sensitive programmes with professional confidentiality — always within the bounds of law, regulation, and full compliance.

Leadership

The people accountable for your delivery

A leadership team drawn from engineering, finance, defence, and life sciences — bound by a shared standard of excellence.
