Context

The brief

Smart Metering programme with significant CAPEX/OPEX exposure and a continuous flow of BAU change requests demanding project-grade controls.

Challenge

What was at stake

  • £8M CAPEX/OPEX needed re-accrual and tight financial control.
  • 56 BAU CRs at risk of being delivered without governance.
  • RAID and dependency view across vendors was fragmented.
Approach

How I delivered

  • Re-accrued the financial baseline and embedded month-end controls.
  • Wrapped BAU CRs in lightweight project governance — RAID, milestones, sign-off.
  • Stood up a single dependency and risk view across vendors and internal teams.
