Below is a list of just 25 types of Project Services Business.

The list is here because I’ve found over the years that people often stay within their type of project business. They mostly don’t move from type to type.

However … here’s the interesting thing … you can really learn a lot from other types of Project Business.

PSBs in other areas often hold a key to making substantial differences to your own organisation.

So the list below is there to help you think about other types of PSB that you could reach out to, or learn from.
