REVIEW OUR WORLD CLASS SERVICES
Civil Engineering Experience
Dr Robertson's Civil Engineering Experience is diverse, including Roads and Earthworks, Large Office Structures, Materials Science and Open Cast Mine slope design.
 
Numerous Successful Practical Projects
This formal professional experience has been supported by a life time interest in "Do It Yourself" activities around the home which have seen Dr Robertson undertake innumerable projects small and large with great success.
 
Failure is NOT an Acceptable Option
This diverse experience has firmly implanted the realization that provided there is a clear understanding that failure is not an acceptable option and provided there is willingness to undertake the detailed and rigorous analysis and design that such a position demands, it IS possible to design solutions that work, every time.
 
This experience is widely evident in Dr Robertson's work around "The Critical Factors for Information Technology Investment Success", "The Critical Factors for Strategic Planning Success", etc where constructions metaphors are widely used.
 
Success IS Achievable
Dr Robertson has personally undertaken sufficient successful projects and witnessed innumerable further successful projects that his conviction that EVERY project will succeed if properly analyzed, designed and implemented is absolutely unshakeable.
 
High Failure Rate of I.T. and Strategy is Intolerable
For this reason Dr Robertson finds the extremely high levels of I.T. and Strategy project failure intolerable in the extreme and he is committed to working with his clients to make absolutely sure that project success is guaranteed.
 
Implacable Commitment to Success
This implacable commitment to success is sometimes daunting for clients and, for that reason, JAR&A are not the recommended service provider for clients who are not absolutely determined that their projects will succeed, no matter what the cost in manpower and finances.
 
Ensure That Each Step of the Way the Job is Done Well
This is not a statement that relates to rash utilization of resources but one that relates to solid detailed step by step analysis, design, construction and implementation which ensures that each step of the way the job is done well and done right first time.
 
This takes time and costs money relative to many of the approaches that have contributed to the harsh reality of 90% of all I.T. and strategy projects failing to meet management's expectations and their design objectives.
 
Solutions for Clients who Want Success
Against this background it is taken as a given that any organization that embarks on a project and wants it to succeed will be willing to entertain the real cost of doing things right and will therefore embrace a consultant who is focussed on that objective.
 
A Cast Iron Guarantee of Success
The combined knowledge and experience outlined in the "Credentials" section of this Web Site and the supporting "About:" section provide those clients who are truly committed to successful project outcomes with a cast iron guarantee of success.
 
Profitable, Differentiated Solutions
Success that will give rise to profitable, differentiated solutions that enable the organization to create sustainable competitive advantage using solutions with operational lives measured in decades.
