What Projecting Success does

Projecting Success Ltd is a UK-based private limited company operating as a specialist management consultancy and Ofsted-registered apprenticeship training provider focused on data analytics, AI, and project delivery skills. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Ashby-De-La-Zouch, England, the company employs 11-50 staff in a remote-first model and serves UK employers across defence, construction, engineering, and government. Its commercial activities are anchored by UK Apprenticeship Levy-funded training programmes (Level 3 Data Technician, Level 4 Data Analyst and Data Analyst for PMO, and Level 7 AI Data Specialist), supplemented by data consultancy, advisory work, and one-day leadership workshops.

The company's core technology platform is Project:Brain, an AI-powered knowledge management and data ecosystem featuring Marvin, a web-hosted LLM-based chatbot built on Microsoft Azure. Marvin automates workflows, answers queries against uploaded documents, consolidates feedback across documents, generates structured briefing packs, tracks dependencies, and reconciles inconsistencies between plan, risk, and action items. Project:Brain also provides semantic frameworks for consistent meaning across project data. Supporting offerings include the Solutions Centre (an open-source platform hosting hackathon outputs and datasets), Project:Hack (community hackathon events drawing 100+ participants), a free book library covering next-generation project management topics, and a forthcoming Level 4 AI & Automation Practitioner programme.

Revenue is generated primarily through UK Apprenticeship Levy-funded training programmes, which function as recurring multi-year contracts with employer sponsors, complemented by professional services income from consultancy and one-day leadership workshops. Distribution is direct-to-employer via business development managers, supported by inside sales (online discovery sessions), community events (Project:Hack hackathons), and content marketing (open-source books, blog, newsletters). The company pursues a community-led go-to-market motion, positioning itself within an ecosystem that includes Rolls-Royce (hackathon host), the Major Project Association, the Association for Project Management, and the Construction Data Trust, the latter chaired by incoming fractional CEO Grant Findlay.

Revenue model

1. Apprenticeship Training Programmes: Revenue generated from delivering apprenticeship programmes funded primarily through the UK Apprenticeship Levy. Employers pay into the levy and can use funds to upskill employees. Non-levy paying employers can access co-funding options. Programmes include Level 3 Data Technician, Level 4 Data Analyst, and Level 7 AI Data Specialist apprenticeships.
2. Data Consultancy and Advisory Services: End-to-end consultancy services providing tailored data-driven strategies, from requirements understanding to solution delivery. Includes support for AI implementation, process automation, and project delivery optimization.
3. Leadership and Training Workshops: One-day courses for senior leaders focused on data-driven project delivery, including upcoming dates in 2025 (February, May, October).
4. Open Source Knowledge Resources: Free open-source books and resources (Next Generation Risk Management, Next Gen PMO, Project Cognition, Project Data Analytics Senior Leader's Playbook, Next Gen Assurance) distributed freely to build community and brand awareness rather than direct revenue.

• Cambridge Spark: UK data apprenticeship and training provider offering data analyst and data engineering programmes using Python and SQL; directly comparable in curriculum (data/AI upskilling) and funding mechanism (UK Levy).

Broad incumbents

• General Assembly: Global provider of data, AI, and tech training and apprenticeships (now part of Adecco); a broad incumbent offering comparable data/AI curricula and corporate upskilling programmes overlapping Projecting Success's professional training portfolio.

• Generation You Employed: Global employment-focused training organisation offering tech and data career programmes with employer hiring partners; partially comparable as a workforce-development peer operating in data/AI adjacent to project delivery.

Others
