Challenge
- Changes to the R&D organisational structure and strategic governance process created a need to review and optimise governance at a project level
- There was appetite to simplify the current R&D operational governance model, reinforce project team empowerment and embed agility within the operational governance model
Solution
- Interviewed more than 40 key stakeholders to identify opportunities for improvement in the current operational governance model and summarised them in a diagnostic
- Led working groups to form solutions for priority ‘hot topics’ identified in the diagnostic and refined them in Core Team and Steering Committee meetings
- Evolved the operational governance model in line with three guiding principles: simple, empowered, agile
Results
- Newly defined operational governance model for asset-level and cross-project decision-making and guidance
- A clear implementation plan to embed operational governance changes including the implementation governance model, roadmap, and communication plan
