| COLIN MERRICK (United Utilities) |
| Abstract: The strategy of successfully delivering a £650m construction programme based in Brighton, centred on rolling out OBM knowledge to project teams and staff within the Client organisation and the Supply Chain.
The first year of the programme was completed with all critical success factors being in place including the rolling out of the training.
In year two the organisation had to be robust enough to handle a three fold increase in spend and workforce.
This paper covers year one successes and problems encountered in year two. |
