For over 30 years James Ross Consulting has deployed our expert packaging engineers and project managers into our client’s businesses and operations, to provide fast, flexible support for new and existing packaging programs.
Using external support to bolster in-house resource isn’t a new idea, nor is it a unique offering from James Ross Consulting.
However, our resources for technical support are professional engineers and project managers who are also supported by and have access to the wider James Ross Consulting global team.
Clients have used us previously to deliver on value optimization (VO) projects we have identified, to accelerate delivery of existing VO or change management projects, to help navigate programs that use new technologies or new ways of working. We also provide project management and leadership for new business ideas in areas that may differ from core business activities and also just to fill the gaps where they lack resource.
Our technical support deployment can span timeframes from short term to extended periods. Longer term deployments enable our resource to get up to speed with appropriate internal systems and to deliver on targets. Our successful deployments have often lasted years, where our embedded skilled staff become even more effective as a part of your organization. For some clients we have deployed multiple resources, and run programs for over 10 years, a reflection of our performance and our value.
While delivering the assigned and directed projects our teams will also look for and share other ideas, opportunities and experiences with the client team, furthering the delivery of results to the client. For some clients we have pushed ideas, run workshops and used global examples to enhance our partnership and bring value. For all clients we provide reliable, professional expert resource to help hit targets on-time.

As a consulting company our task is to identify and develop new ways of working, new ideas, and new solutions. With our technical support capability, we can also then move to the delivery of those ideas. From ‘telling’ to ‘doing’.
