Experience

Building the capability for consistent project delivery

An organization lacked the common foundation needed for consistent project execution. Sand Hill developed training and business processes, advised on internal systems, and worked with the client to establish consistent data structures and capture methods.

The challenge

The organization lacked established business processes that enabled its teams to execute projects consistently. It needed a common foundation for how projects were carried out and how supporting information was structured and captured.

Sand Hill's contribution

Sand Hill developed training and business processes to support project execution, advised the organization as it developed its internal systems, and assisted in establishing consistent data structures and capture methods. These connected changes addressed the capabilities of the people doing the work and the organizational support they needed to execute projects consistently.

The outcome

Project delivery became more consistent across budget and schedule performance, outage readiness and start-up readiness.

How this work connects

Consistent project delivery is an organizational capability that supports the execution of a growth strategy. The training, processes, systems and common data practices strengthened how the owner carried out its investments. Their value extends beyond an individual project to the organization's ability to undertake further work with a more consistent execution foundation.
