Our Approach
Collaboration
We are a collaborative company, working closely and collaboratively with clients and partners, using our combined expertise to deliver effective solutions for their projects.
At the heart of what we do is building trusting, honest, relationships with open communication to drive these collaborations. We often act as a critical friend for clients in assessing engineering and technology options.
R&D is at the heart of what we do. We work closely with clients and partners to pull together our combined expertise in order to deliver next-generation solutions.
We are used to working on Innovate and ATI grant-funded projects in partnership for a shared aim, working closely to align our clients with academia and the UK catapults where required.
Innovation
Innovation is about pushing boundaries into the unknown. PES Performance has the expertise and processes to truly drive innovation and optimisation. We minimise risk by adopting structured workflow process with key stage gates and reviews. We optimise IP opportunities or if a distraction, file them for future leverage.
Many companies and clients feel they are Innovating when in reality they are optimising what is already there. As an innovations business we not only drive innovation but also optimisation.
Solutioneering
We are a business that has a unique position of working across multiple sectors, at all levels of engineering, giving us a holistic view of technology and processes and this allows us to cross-pollinate ideas and technologies.
This experience and unique opportunity allow us to support from a consultative approach or offering complete end-to-end solutions with our client and technology partners. The key is not to overcomplicate a challenge and we use our ‘Solutioneering’ approach to break down challenges.
When faced with a question that requires an answer, we look to get into the wider details to understand, early in the project, any restrictive issues that could affect the project downstream. We look to understand the end-to-end process and workflow. When looking for solutions our preferred method is to come up with a range of solutions and working with our partner, go through a down-select process to refine options before moving forward into greater detail.
Driving Commercial & IP value
We work with our clients and have a shared approach to maximising commercial opportunity not only for the application and project at hand but for the wider market to drive commercial value for the partnership.
Conclusion
As the old focus of delivering the Ds of design always stands; – Discover, Define, Design, Develop, Deploy and Drive. We also add in refine and optimise once the solution has reached a point that it needs to evolve as technology moves forward.
