“How do you guys do this stuff? Just give me more of the same!"
... and we did, leading the production of the full and final submission
Regulatory submission
Preparing for the long term
This regulated business is required to submit a new business plan every 5 years, detailing all aspects of their operations and investment plans, defining service benefits that will be derived and the impact on customer bills. A massively complex piece of work.
With a new client Programme Director and a Project One Programme Manager appointed, our job was to get the programme running and produce a submission of which they would be proud.
Our impact:
- Brought insight into managing regulatory driven programmes based on previous experience
- Created a strong sense of content and plan ownership amongst the whole executive team
- Introduced programme management and programme office disciplines; status dashboard, steering group, clear accountabilities
- Implemented a checkpoint mechanism that created a sense of purpose and momentum around delivery and quality milestones
- Mobilised and led a team to co-ordinate 4000 pages of material into a professional submission
- Developed visual presentations to bring clarity, get engagement and drive discussion, both within the team and to the Executive team
The business result:
- The business plan was submitted on schedule and endorsed by the board
- The submission was recognised by the client and the auditors as the best ever submission by the client and a leader across the industry
- Strong recognition for the client team from the Board
