The ANT IMPLEMENTATION METHOD

A clear, simple framework for all stakeholders to work inside

The Ant Implementation Method

Every client has a unique vision. Every project is different.

The Issue

It is often difficult to define a detailed scope of work to put into a project proposal. Teams are large, the environment is complex and opinions are strong. The project scope and vision often shift and change as the team goes through the design process, or the scope defined at the start by the Projects Team does not fit the Operations Team's vision. The end result is either a long, painful process with many iterations, or a result that makes at least one part of the management structure unhappy.

Our Solution

Our Ant Implementation Method (AIM) Framework which is designed around asking the right people the right questions early in the process. We don't wait for issues to maybe "come out in the wash". We get everyone involved around a table and get down to the nuts and bolts of what you want by pulling apart our first draft design, as there is no better way to focus on what the client's team wants and needs than finding out what they definitely do not want. What works? What doesn't? How can it better meet your needs? The result? We sell a process guaranteed to find a best-fit solution, and do not try to find a way to make the solution fit a scope that isn't representative of requirements. Our process gives you:
Ant Consult's AIM Framework delivers lasting solutions, water systems and irrigation infrastructure that you and your management team actually want. Check out our blog for a deep dive, or have a look at the infographic below.
