ABOUT US

At 3BP we approach things differently.

Through collaborative and thorough assessment, we embrace a variety of perspectives to develop strategies and achieve success with our clients. We pride ourselves in delving deeper for the most efficient and effective solutions, no matter how complicated the challenge. Our innovative methodology has been refined over 20 years of delivering successful global infrastructure development projects.

As our name reminds us, the third bowl of porridge (3BP) was “just right”. Inspired by the 19th-century British fairy tale, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, the Goldilocks principle is named by analogy to the children’s story and reminds us to invest the energy required to find the best solution rather than the easiest. 3BP always arrives at each opportunity with a fresh outlook and a unique approach to our clients’ specific situational environment.

PROJECTS

SERVICES

The 3BP approach to Project Management, Strategic Consulting and Advisory Services is designed to complement our clients’ existing capabilities and to optimize performance at each critical strategic juncture.

WINNING

Requires a focused understanding of your competencies, analysis of competitors, targeted differentiation, strategic approach, and concise communications to the evaluator. Know yourself, know your competition, know your client, know your plan, execute and win.

PERFORMING

Improve business performance and understanding of objectives through formalized planning to identify tangible, realistic actions that deliver results. Agree on a direction, prepare for the journey, schedule the itinerary, set a course, depart and arrive as planned.

SUPPORTING PEOPLE

Beyond all other assets, your people are without question the most important aspect of your business. Be aware, demonstrate capacity of care, and invest time, effort and energy, win hearts, minds and commitment and witness performance improve.

STARTING UP

Establish a business culture and philosophy right from the start. Habits, attitudes and approaches developed in the initial stages will only become more difficult to alter if they are not “just right”. Identify who you want to be, understand your gaps, resolve them, train, provide sufficient time, execute and reinforce your identity.

CHANGING

Businesses and organizations evolve and require a reset analysis to ensure the structure and direction continue to be aligned and optimal. Stay connected, understand industry trends, and communicate with employees and industry experts so as not to fall behind.

DELIVERING

Successful management, control and coordination of any project come down to relationships and communications. Select people not resumes, provide the tools, policies and procedures needed, establish communications protocols and clear objectives, focus on fit and deliver.

LEADERSHIP

Leadership is a critical component to the success of any project. At 3BP we recognize that leadership comes in many forms and that one size does not fit all. There can be no “cookie-cutter” approach to real leadership.

We adjust our approach to fit the culture and requirements of the teams and timelines we support arriving to each opportunity with a fresh perspective, committed to continuous learning and improvement.

It is our mission to deliver on all project parameters and to develop the skills of those that work with us, while always remaining open to grow ourselves. We are committed to a team-first belief system and ensure our leadership communicates that everyday.

We believe that application of the correct leadership model improves the environment and outcomes for everyone. Therefore, we take the time to understand the people, the project and the objectives from the outset.

3BP and its approach to leadership is built upon a foundation of Fit, Grit and Character.

3BP TEAM

The creation of lasting, high-performance teams is rare and requires significant commitment, communication and challenges. The 3BP team of professionals has worked together collectively for decades and established a track record of exceptional performance.

  • COMMITMENT to each other, our partners, our mission and our standards.
  • COMMUNICATION that is open, honest and direct.
  • CHALLENGES that drive us, test us and focus us.

Our team approach focuses on three core elements that inform our strategy internally and externally:

  • FIT “(of a thing) of a suitable quality, standard, or type to meet the required purpose.”
  • GRIT “courage, resolve, the ability to persevere in the face of adversity.”
  • CHARACTER “the aggregate of features and traits that form the individual nature of some person or thing.”

In our experience “fit” is determined quickly, “grit” can be understood and evaluated in short order while “character” often takes time to reveal itself. However, it is an alignment of all three elements that determine the success of a team.

3BP Teams are custom built with our clients to ensure success. We are uncompromising on our commitment to establishing balanced and lasting teams and insist on satisfying our internal standards before partnering.

3BP developed a highly efficient operational concept for our network of 14 airports and headquarters  from [scratch]. Within only nine months 3BP had delivered a fully functioning operations organization and transitioned management control of all the airports  that have performed without flaws ever since.

Alexander Zinell, Chief Executive Officer, Fraport Greece

Have you ever retained a consultancy company that is too hot or too cold? Well I have! If you want one that is just right consider 3BP, they don’t just tell you what you want to hear but what you need to hear. Our success has been in part due to the people at 3BP. Their collaborative and innovative teams don’t just think of themselves as the owners representative but rather as part of the client team. 3BP just right in leading one of the most successful Regional Airports in the Country!

Sam Samaddar, Airport Director, Kelowna International Airport

3BP provided key staff and expertise to Fraport-Greece during the critical start-up phase, which proved instrumental to its success.  3BPs commitment to the mission is unparalleled in the industry.

Bill Fullerton, Chief Technical Officer, Fraport Greece

We had 3BP jump into a project when the previous project manager departed suddenly; it was complicated, time sensitive and vital to the operation. They did a great job (it came in on time, on budget and really looks great), so we are now using 3BP in a variety of other important projects at YVR.
