Stage 4 - Project Delivery, Commitment and Skills Transfer

This stage looks at communication and relations between client and consultant staff; and skills transfer from consultants to client staff.

Consider the statements below and reflect on their relevance to the work under review. For each statement click a button to select the option which most accurately describes the situation in the organisation or project under review (if you have used the toolkit before, your answers may have been remembered).

Rolling the cursor over the traffic light options displays a description of the red, amber or green rating in the box at the bottom of the page.

When you have selected a response to each statement, click the SUBMIT button below.

Once responses are submitted the toolkit highlights the range of issues that should be addressed, provides guidance on how to improve value for money in these areas and illustrates what good practice can look like at each individual stage – often illustrated by case examples.
