Project and Programme Management

SELEX System Integration provides strong project and programme management to its clients through its competencies which bring together people, processes and technology within an agile delivery framework to secure real business benefits.

Our project and programme management expertise stems from delivering complex technological projects in highly regulated markets including defence the transport industries, and our approach is based upon four principal elements:

  • The Programme Delivery Blueprint
  • Transformational Change Management
  • Stakeholder Management
  • Lifecycle Risk Management

The Programme Delivery Blueprint (BDP) 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 BDP fits naturally within a programme governance framework, describing the organisation, people, processes, information, rules and technology, as well as the intermediate and final Business Transformation states.

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

  • Defines the interactions of the business and technology services within the overall Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)
  • 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. 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 ensures the needs, interests, concerns and influence of all stakeholders are taken fully into consideration through an initial Stakeholder Mapping and Analyse exercise. This enables early identification of the impact of the change and the levels of resistance likely to be encountered. With this information, a SELEX Systems Integration Programme Manager would:

  • Prepare appropriate engagement plans
  • Provide a targeted communications campaign
  • Track stakeholder benefits realisation

As a dedicated Solution Architect and Systems Integration business, SELEX Systems Integration’s programme management team is committed to the delivery of successful outcomes. To achieve this, the application of risk management throughout the programme lifecycle is required. 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 project or 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 them.
