      UI/UX Design Review from Audrey Thomas

      Highland is a great partner. The sought to deeply understand our product, customers, and pain points and built a number of forward looking opportunities for us in addition to the tight scope of our project. Proactive, thoughtful, responsive, and flexible. We are a small team and found lots of value in working with Highland to get our UX refresh project up and running.

      UI/UX Design Review from ✨ Liz Pisney ✨

      We recently partnered with Highland on research and prototypes for a new information architecture on a volunteer resources site for our Chapter leaders. Having over 3000 volunteers around the globe can introduce a lot of nuance and complexity to research and design processes. The team at Highland handled it all skillfully - focusing on how to deliver the most clarity and usability to our audience. 10 out of 10, I would recommend working with the Highland team!

      Webflow Review from Lee Wiensch, CAE, CFRE

      We had a great experience working with the team at Highland to develop a new website for the Thoracic Surgery Foundation, a charitable organization aimed at advancing heart and lung health for all. Highland worked with us to re-imagine a dated website with limited functionality, and developed a a gorgeous new site that beautifully reflects the vitality of the organization. We anticipate that our award applicants, donors, surgeons and grateful patients will be able to easily navigate the new site and have a much-improved user experience. Jeff Blanchard and his team were exceptionally good listeners, and worked hard to create solutions for our complicated awards program. They provided good training to our team throughout the process so that we have been able to keep things updated and easily make changes now that the site has launched. I am grateful for their patience and very quick turnaround as we juggled a new strategic plan and new branding, all at the time of the website creation. I have been continually impressed with the expertise and the innovation that Highland brings to a project like ours. It was a pleasure to launch this site -- on time and on budget -- with their excellent work and support.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a project management company do?

A project management company oversees, plans, and executes temporary endeavors, known as projects, for clients. Its primary role is making sure a project is completed on time, within budget, and meets all defined scope and quality requirements. As part of the service, project management consulting firms also manage resources, assign talent, control risks, and coordinate communication among stakeholders. 

How long does a typical project management initiative take?

There is no typical duration for project management initiatives, as the project's length is determined by its unique objectives and constraints. Namely, small initiatives like a software patch update can take a few weeks, whereas large-scale initiatives such as engineering infrastructure or developing a new product line may take a year.  

Are there additional costs for project management consulting services?

Yes, there may be additional costs beyond the consultant's core fee, including reimbursement for expenses like travel and accommodation if the consultant works on-site, or charges for necessary project-specific items like specialized software licenses or materials.  

With a cost-plus contract, the client explicitly pays for the consultant's time plus all project expenses, whereas fixed-fee contracts typically bundle most costs together, making the final price more predictable. 

What questions should I ask a project management consulting firm before hiring?

Here are some questions you should ask before hiring a project management consulting firm: 

  1. Can you walk me through a similar project you completed for a company in our sector? 
  2. What is your non-negotiable process for keeping the project on schedule? 
  3. How often will we meet and receive progress update? 
  4. What are the all-in costs, including your fees, travel, and any necessary software? 
  5. Who will be overseeing our project, and what is their background? 
  6. How will you train our team to maintain the project deliverables after you leave? 

What tools and technologies do project management companies use?

Project management companies use specialized software for setting, organizing, tracking, and executing projects, such as Jira, ClickUp, Asana, Trello, Monday.com, and Microsoft Project. These platforms facilitate key functions like task management, resource allocation, time tracking, and risk assessment.  

Additionally, they utilize collaborative technologies like shared documents and communication tools to provide good team coordination and stakeholder alignment.
