Structure is influenced by many factors, the most obvious being to ensure the successfull implementation of a project. This means different things to different projects. Sometimes requirements for short term access to funding and long term project success are aligned, often they are not and structure become an exercise in delicately balancing objectives.
There will exist numerous options for project design and implementation strategy. Each may suit a different funding or deployment scenario and have variable long term implications. Numerous structures may be examined and multiple structures may be pursued, with the ultimate decision often coming down to external factors as wide ranging as funding, regulatory environment or commodity prices.
We provide the ability to examine & understand all of the structures available for a project and the insight to choose the most appropriate strategies to respond to the changing development environment.
A Structured Approach
An approach to project development rooted in the understanding of requirements from key stakeholders & how these relate to core objectives.Balancing project objectives with the requirements of stakeholders can be challenging. Anticipating requirements of funders, regulators and project partners when structuring a project accelerates implementation timescales and reduces wasted effort.
A well-defined approach, with the flexibility to respond to a changing environment, enables expectations to be set for all stakeholders and will ensure the project team are aligned. Mapping requirements against forecast deliverables can inform both project structure and prioritise where effort is directed.
Structured Project
Structuring projects to meet objectives & manage risk.As the development approach evolves so necessarily will the structure. Managing this change and understanding its implications are crucial to retaining control over a project and ensuring that core objectives are achieved.
We take an empirical approach to structuring projects which centres on identifying and quantifying variables, capturing functional structures and modelling these exhaustively to discover where a project succeeds and where it fails.
We use structural scenarios to build an understanding of how a project can be designed to perform in a given environment and incremental scenarios to provide risk profiles by understand the sensitivity of projects to underlying variables. This provides confidence in the available project design, delivery routes and the ability to predict and respond to changing environments.
Risk, by its very nature, is unpredictable; there is always a Black Swan resting over the horizon which may require a fundamental re-evaluation of the project – the use of structural and incremental scenarios allows this to be performed rapidly and at little cost.
The inability to predict outliers implies the inability to predict the course of history.
