Non-energy Projects

"We provide instant capability"

We get things started for you straight away and either carry things through to completion or maintain project momentum while you recruit your own team.

We provide instant capability so you can make immediate progress rather than lose time or an opportunity because you’re still trying to get a team in place.

Whatever your proposal, we give it the immediate substance demanded by investors, financiers and other key stakeholders. Time is your most precious commodity and Swift & Falcon helps you make the most of it.

Whether it’s the challenge of getting the project over the line or the less obvious but equally critical challenges of holding together the partnerships and alliances vital to project success, Swift & Falcon knows how to manage them successfully.

"The Swift & Falcon team has done it"

Swift & Falcon can function equally well as an effective and core part of your project team or as a constructive third party capable of providing an independent eye to help guide the project team and strengthen project alliances and partnerships.

We have a range of strategies and approaches which we have applied successfully for over two decades. Whether it’s re-financing, facilitating strategic alignment or launching a successful world record attempt, the Swift & Falcon team has done it.

"Our experience can make the difference"

In the Project Development space, Swift & Falcon adds value as a sounding-board for your project team or as an informed reviewer able to take an impartial look at your project and its underlying assumptions.

We know what successful projects look and feel like and we know what unsuccessful projects look and feel like. Our input makes a difference and improves a project's chances of success.

The Swift & Falcon team has worked successfully over many years and on five continents to promote and position both projects and companies.

The Swift & Falcon approach is based on the development of a clear message set and defined audiences coupled with the efficient and disciplined communication of that message set to those audiences. The Swift & Falcon team is widely published across a range of international publications and has featured at many of the world’s largest energy conferences as either a presenter, Chair or both.

"We can support you efficiently and effectively across the entire media spectrum"

Swift & Falcon covers the entire spectrum of media management from creating press releases to managing large-scale and complex media briefings and press conferences. We also provide high quality media training for any of your team who may be required to interact with the media.

Swift & Falcon can create and produce your entire publishing suite and can do so with great efficiency; the record is a major corporate brochure going from a blank sheet of paper to final design within 24 hours. Swift & Falcon can also script, direct and voice-over corporate videos and team credits include some of the world’s most iconic brands.

We can support you efficiently and effectively across the entire media spectrum and we can react to circumstances and opportunities immediately.

 "Swift & Falcon can develop the tools and initiatives you need"

Often the Cinderella discipline in the corporate affairs suite, effective internal communications are a critical part of any project’s overall safety performance and ineffective internal communications risks a safety incident.

The Swift & Falcon team has worked on multiple safety programmes; as a contributor to the design of the safety regime, as the communicator of the regime’s rollout and adoption, and as the accountable individual for the project's overall safety performance.

In addition to the critical safety aspects of internal communication, Swift & Falcon can develop the tools and initiatives you need to build a strong project identity and keep your team motivated.

"Swift & Falcon will make a positive difference for you"

Projects of great complexity generally require a network of alliances and partnerships to see them safely over the line. The Swift & Falcon team has helped to develop and manage many such alliances and partnerships, including some of the most complex and diverse in the history of the energy industry.

Swift & Falcon can advise you on the right fit of partner and, more importantly, Swift & Falcon can develop the necessary frameworks and processes, particularly around the commercials and communication, that will allow you to keep the relationship on track and keep all parties driving in the same direction.

The right partnerships and alliances take your project forward quickly and efficiently while partner dissent and mis-alignment is one of the biggest single causes of project failure. Swift & Falcon will make a positive difference for you.

"Use Swift & Falcon to minimise the conflicting demands on your executive team"

One of the best and yet most neglected ways to develop a strong sense of project identity and sense of common purpose across a project team is to establish a clear brand identity and a clear idea of what the project is trying to do. Though it seems an obvious thing to say, it is very easy to overlook the importance of a brand identity in the excitement of driving a project forward.

"One of the best and yet most neglected ways to develop a strong sense of project identity"

A strong brand identity improves motivation and the sense of team and, where the project is a joint venture or some other form of commercial alliance, a clear identity creates the necessary operational space to address concerns of an imbalance in the relationship. A strong brand is an essential component of corporate stability.

The Swift & Falcon team has developed many such brands successfully and combined that process with a series of events and demonstrations to give the brand substance in the eyes of those who have to work with it.

Use Swift & Falcon to develop and deploy this often overlooked problem-solver for your project.

"Use Swift & Falcon to develop and execute the government engagement programme you need"

The right fiscal regime, regulatory environment or financial incentives can be critical to project success.

Use Swift & Falcon to develop and execute the government engagement programme you need to optimise your operating environment and give your project the strongest possible foundations.

The biggest companies in the world are experts at optimising their business environment in this way and the government relations programme is always a key part of their overall project development plan.

However, it doesn’t have to be a Rich Man’s privilege, using Swift & Falcon, you can gain exactly the same advantages for your project as any of the biggest organisations in your sector.

At Swift & Falcon, we view ‘crisis’ in the fullest sense of the word. It can mean a serious set-back but it can also mean a serious decision point. Either way, we can help you manage it.

"At Swift & Falcon, we know from experience how to make the right choices"

Setbacks happen and often the test of a project team’s excellence or otherwise is how it responds to adversity; it either grows in confidence or begins a decline that ends in failure.

At Swift & Falcon, we know from experience how to make the right choices and take the right actions and we can prepare your team on a contingency basis as well as advise on or manage the response if the worst happens.

Whether you want your existing arrangements reviewed or whether you want a bespoke programme developed, Swift & Falcon can do both.

"Swift & Falcon will get your tone and content right"

Swift & Falcon will get your tone and content right and we  have access to award-winning designers if needed. Our team has a track record of creating effective presentations for a range of demanding audiences and for some of the biggest corporate events in the world.

"The right messages are delivered in a powerful and memorable way"

The Swift & Falcon team has written speeches for multiple CEOs, Ministers and Heads of State. We work with you to ensure that the right messages are delivered in a powerful and memorable way. We make sure that you’re confident and prepared and that the speech is what it should be; a positive engagement opportunity and not a chore or a torment.

"Make the most of the opportunity"

Trade exhibitions are a valuable promotional and positioning opportunity and Swift & Falcon will make sure that you make the most of that opportunity with a professional and high-impact presence.

Every company’s needs are different and we take the time and trouble to understand those needs and develop ideas accordingly. We may not put a live cheetah on your stand but we've done it and we know how to do it safely. That's what we mean by high-impact.

"Get the results you want"

The spectrum of potential corporate events is very wide but Swift & Falcon will help you to plan and execute them to the highest standard.

Whether it’s an employee town hall, a kick-off meeting, an executive retreat or planning a plant visit by key stakeholders, Swift & Falcon will ensure that you get the results you want.
