Strategy & Policy

Before a project can commence, detailed project strategy is required to ensure project outcomes are fit-for-purpose, efficient and economic.

An effective project strategy supports the development of a business case and ensures that the project complies with all policies, guidelines, frameworks and standards.

The strategy phase will usually progress in consultation with a broad group of stakeholders, collecting large amounts of data.

This can be a lengthy and complex process, which is why we offer our clients facilitation services to assist with the strategic direction and development of a project.

This strategic infrastructure advice enables innovative outcomes across a project’s lifecycle.

Our range of

Strategy & Policy

services include:

Facilitation

A well-facilitated workshop or planning session is critical for the development of a project or to engage with key project stakeholders, uniting project teams and creating collaborative results.

We aim to understand the project, stakeholders and objectives, and develop tailored workshops for clients to assist with collaboration and to accelerate planning processes.

With extensive experience in procurement, delivery and commercial administration, we provide thorough asset management advice for all aspects of infrastructure asset management during the entire lifecycle - including design, construction, commissioning, operating, maintaining, repairing, modifying, replacing and decommissioning/disposal.

Governance & Assurance Support

Transparent and effective governance arrangements are essential for managing organisational performance, integrity and accountability- and robust assurance systems further support these arrangements.

Our team has produced and implemented governance frameworks, assurance guidelines and other documentation on a range of high-profile projects across numerous sectors.

We are experienced not only in organisational governance and assurance, but project and portfolio-level framework implementation also.

We are confident in leading teams through the development and implementation of governance change management and new assurance processes, and specialise in creating tailored governance systems, founded on industry best practice and legislative requirements for both private and public clients.

Positive changes in the industry - such as embracing agile working, increased public consultation requirements, and peer review of business case documentation - are all drivers for stronger and more effective governance systems.

Robust assurance systems further support this, ensuring that governance, risk management and process controls are of the highest quality.

Investor Assessment, Evaluation & Prioritisation

The investment of private or public funds in an asset or project is a critical decision.

This decision requires high level due diligence, market analysis, cost projections and portfolio level review.

To accurately evaluate and prioritise investment decisions and client expectations, goals and risk tolerances must firstly be understood in detail.

This involves a robust understanding of costs and stakeholder engagement to determine a thorough prioritisation assessment and cost-benefit analysis.

We understand that investment decisions are a critical, yet complex part of infrastructure delivery.

Our team is experienced in both private and public investment assessment and evaluation, and can advise on the prioritisation of investment decisions at a portfolio level.

Working across major strategic infrastructure, disaster recovery and financial projects, we have developed a deep understanding of government needs with regards to investment decisions.

We are experienced in undertaking cost-benefit analysis studies, and return on investment analysis, to inform Cabinet Budget Review Committee documentation, business cases, executive briefings, board discussions and project control groups.

Investor analysis often requires a high level of discrete stakeholder engagement, inter-departmental consultation, policy review and alignment, and an understanding of the broader goals, objectives and risk appetite of an organisation.

We are experienced in negotiating with stakeholders and collating organisational goals and objectives to achieve a deep understanding of investment requirements, to enable leaders to make informed decisions with minimal risk.

Options Evaluation & Value Engineering

For a project to be successful, the viability of options and outcomes need to be tested to demonstrate effectiveness and commercial value.

We have extensive experience in options analysis and perform value reviews to address immediate problems, guiding long-term strategy.

Through this, we have achieved exceptional outcomes for both large and small infrastructure projects, through peer reviews and in an advisory capacity across various sectors.

Our hands-on experience means that we can anticipate risks that arise in the development and review phases to enable outcomes that are pragmatic and comprehensive.
