How we helped:

We were initially asked to provide specialist support to the programme to establish an effective benefits management process to help identify and quantify improvement initiatives that would better enable the programme to achieve its aspirational objectives.

We were also tasked with improving the programme risk management process and providing fractional risk management support to help the process run effectively.

What we delivered:

  • Established a benefits management process with appropriate supporting artefacts as well as championing opportunity identification at all levels of the programme.
  • Developed a comprehensive risk management process for the programme. Our fractional risk management support ensured there was a consistent point of contact for risk-related activities with accountability to deliver.
  • Acted as the main point of contact between our client organisation and the collaborative inter-company enterprise layer, representing our client at regular working groups and management forums.
  • Built and maintained a positive working relationship with external bodies, ensuring that our clients’ interests were effectively communicated and actively promoted.

The Benefits

  • ~£50M of opportunities identified against the programme baseline.

  • Enhanced our client’s reputation among the external enterprise.

  • Increased awareness of the risks and uncertainties within contracted scope and uncontracted future scope.

  • Helped develop a strong culture of psychological safety towards threat identification.

  • Generated robust inputs to quantitative cost and schedule risk analysis and scenario analysis.

We believe that risk management isn’t just about managing risks; it's about enhancing performance by embedding risk-thinking into business decisions.
