Mega Project Facilitation
Mega projects demand skilled decision-making, collaboration across cultures, and the ability to manage complex, high-stakes environments with speed and agility. Elephants in Main Street International (EMSI) addresses these needs by equipping leaders with strategic facilitation, coaching, and experiential learning that foster cooperation, trust, and resilience. Through tailored workshops and data-driven sustainability tools, EMSI empowers teams to align with project goals, engage effectively with stakeholders, and navigate challenges, ensuring impactful, sustainable outcomes across even the most challenging projects.
With over 35 years of experience across diverse sectors—including financial services, EPCM, mining, FMCG, and IT & Telecoms—and a track record spanning 52 countries, Elephants in Main Street (EMS) brings unmatched competence as facilitators and coaches for mega projects. Our approach blends trust-building, equity-focused coaching, and a commitment to recognising each individual’s unique contributions. Our mission is to equip mega project teams with strategies and experiential learning techniques that foster cohesive, high-performance teams capable of achieving sustainable and productive outcomes. We work closely with multicultural, geographically dispersed teams, enabling them to co-create and implement goal-aligned strategies that support the ecosystems they serve.
Key Features of Elephants in Main Street’s Mega Project Support Package
Leadership Alignment and Strategic Foresight Workshops
EMS workshops offer leaders insight into aligning organisational culture with strategic project goals, especially within complex sectors like mining and EPCM. By focusing on transparent communication and shared values, we build trust within multicultural teams and equip leaders to unify efforts toward sustainability. Our extensive sectoral experience allows us to create bespoke strategies that address the unique challenges of mega projects while fostering a culture of mutual respect and collaboration.
Experiential Learning Modules for High-Impact Collaboration
Our News Room and Hot Seat Theatre simulations place team members in high-stakes scenarios that build critical skills in rapid decision-making, strategic alignment, and multi-stakeholder engagement. These immersive exercises enable each participant to demonstrate and refine their unique strengths, reinforcing the value EMS places on individual contributions. This hands-on approach is particularly effective for mega project teams who need to navigate diverse stakeholder expectations and achieve alignment on shared sustainability and operational goals.
Data-Driven Sustainability and Scope 3 Emissions Reduction Toolkit
EMS’s toolkit offers data-driven insights to manage Scope 3 emissions, enabling project teams to reduce their environmental footprint across the supply chain. This approach, informed by our work with multinational supply chains in sectors like FMCG and telecoms, ensures that mega projects can meet rigorous sustainability standards while optimising operational efficiency. By making data insights accessible and transparent, we foster an inclusive approach to sustainability where each team member’s actions contribute meaningfully to the project’s overarching environmental and social objectives.
Equity-Focused Coaching and Bespoke Mentorship
Equity is at the heart of EMS’s coaching programmes, ensuring that every team member has an equal opportunity to lead, contribute, and grow. Our bespoke coaching sessions empower project leaders and “Sustainability Champions” to implement fair and responsible leadership practices. Through mentorship and a strong emphasis on inclusivity, we create spaces where every voice is heard, and every contribution is valued, building a resilient, high-trust team environment essential for the success of mega projects.
Comprehensive Digital Collaboration and Knowledge Sharing Hub
EMS offers a custom digital platform to enhance team collaboration and centralise resources, ensuring seamless communication and knowledge sharing across dispersed mega project teams. Integrated with tools like Miro, Slack, and project management software, this hub provides a continuous learning environment that fosters alignment and supports team members at every level.
A Legacy of Trust, Equity, and Individual Empowerment
Our approach to mega projects prioritises trust-building, equity, and recognising each team member’s unique contributions. Through our deep understanding of multicultural dynamics and industry-specific challenges, EMS facilitates environments where team members feel empowered, supported, and aligned on a shared vision. By engaging project stakeholders, enabling transparent communication, and valuing individual contributions, we create a foundation of trust and collaboration that drives sustainable, productive outcomes.
