Programme and Risk Management

SELEX System Integration’s core Project Management competencies bring together people, processes and technology within an agile delivery framework to secure real business benefits for our clients. Our pedigree stems from delivering complex technological projects in highly regulated markets including Air, Rail and Defence, and the approach we take is based on four principal elements:

 

  1. The Programme Delivery Blueprint
  2. Transformational Change Management
  3. Stakeholder Management
  4. Lifecycle Risk Management

 

The Programme Delivery Blueprint is a proven technique adopted by SELEX Systems Integration for managing complex high profile programmes, and provides the foundation for large-scale systems integration. The Blueprint fits naturally within a programme governance framework and in essence the Blueprint describes:

 

  • The organisation, people, processes, information, rules and technology
  • The intermediate and final Business Transformation states

 

The Blueprint enables ‘Drilldown’ from the Client Capability Roadmap to individual projects ensuring alignment between each project within the programme. The Blueprint also:

 

  • Defines the interactions of the business and technology services within the overall Service Oriented Architecture
  • Ensures that integration is properly addressed throughout the programme
  • Maps project outcomes to benefits
  • Ensures that variations in project function or design remain within programme tolerances
  • Supports programme level validation
  • Maintains control within a dynamic operating environment

 

Transformational Change Management recognises that full business benefit is only realised when the beneficiaries of change are properly managed from the ‘as-is’ to the ‘to-be’ states. At SELEX Systems Integration, our approach to transformational change focuses on the organisation delivering programme benefits and the keys to success are:

 

  • Engagement with, and commitment from, all stakeholders throughout the life of the programme
  • The continuous management of all stakeholder expectations
  • Shared Vision – everyone understanding the changes needed
  • Leadership, communications and creating a change receptive culture

 

Stakeholder Management will ensure the needs, interests, concerns and influence of all stakeholders are taken fully into consideration through an initial Stakeholder Mapping and Analyse exercise. This will enable early identification of the impact of the change and the levels of resistance likely to be encountered. With this information, the SELEX Systems Integration Programme Manager:

 

  • Prepares appropriate engagement plans
  • Provides a targeted communications campaign
  • Tracks stakeholder benefits realisation

 

As a Prime Contractor and System Integrator, our Programme Management team is committed to the delivery of successful outcomes. To achieve this requires the application of risk management throughout the programme lifecycle. Lifecycle Risk Management is drawn from experience and industry best practice designed to meet the management, technical and assurance demands of clients working within a highly regulated environment. It is at the heart of the SELEX Systems Integration approach.

 

During the entire life of a programme, reviews at critical points take place to ensure that the required level of maturity has been achieved and to capture risks, issues and opportunities associated with the programme.
