Control and predictability in large infrastructure projects

  • How we helped a drinking water utility gain greater control over its complex project and program portfolio.

  • • Developed a streamlined project governance structure to increase control and predictability
  • • Introduced a monthly cycle for timely discussions and decision-making
  • • Simplified reporting to enable sharper steering at every level
  • For a drinking water utility, we provide support in gaining greater control over a growing and increasingly complex project and program portfolio.
  • Stay in Control of Large Capital Projects
  • The drinking water company faces the challenge of successfully delivering an increasing number of large-scale projects. As scale and complexity grow, the need for predictability in project execution becomes more urgent. Effectively managing deviations in Finance, Risk, Organization, Time, Information, and Quality is essential for maintaining control and making informed adjustments. Accelerating decision-making processes is also a key priority, enabling more agile project management and stronger support for project leads.
  • The Impact: Simpler Reporting, Sharper Steering
  • A core principle is to create clarity for project leads and ensure they feel heard and supported. Our renewed reports focus on simplification and automation, while still surfacing the right insights for managers and executives. This provides both overview and insight at every level — and with that, the ability to steer proactively when needed.
  • "Together, we developed a clear structure for project and program management that ensures timely and consistent monitoring of progress, risks, and decisions."
