Barker Lemar Approach
Barker Lemar provides quality services and sound advice. That's a claim many engineering firms can make. However, we go about it a little differently. Let us explain Barker Lemar's four-step approach to our work.
|
Listening We establish channels of communication. Examine your situation. Identify your needs, objectives, goals, and constituencies. Build confidence. Forge a partnership. Establish a working team of your people and ours. Assign responsibilities. Set budget parameters and schedules. Receive formal assignment of your project. |
|
Understanding We analyze your current situation. Identify available resources. Check our perceptions. Recognize the “givens.” Build two-way trust. Identify needed checkpoints. Inventory required expertise. Assign team and individual responsibilities. Reach agreement on possible solutions. |
|
Solving We brainstorm internally in green-light sessions. Develop and weigh possible scenarios. Examine a range of possible outcomes. Measure cause and effect relationships. Research related situations. Propose preferred and alternative solutions. Deliberate positive vs. negative consequences. Envision results. Reach consensus. Finalize and agree on project design and budget. |
|
Implementing We secure regulatory approvals and permits. Assemble and coordinate the primary implementation team and other participants. Assign responsibilities. Establish schedules. Construct the project. Provide oversight. Measure and report results. |
It's a complicated and detail-critical process. Each step is highly important . . . because we know at the heart of every project is you, your company, your community and your reputation, as well as our integrity.
