Scaling delivery for federal government client

Overcoming major delivery delays with targeted, scale delivery, and operational excellence.

  • Nine month engagement for a major Australia-wide infrastructure project facing significant delays and implementation issues.
  • Client engaged Encompass to establish annual targets and scale delivery.
  • Through targeted prioritisation, clear success metrics, and appropriate
  • governance, infrastructure delivery was scaled by 260%.

The client challenge

This major government project was underway to roll-out key infrastructure Australia-wide. The client was falling considerably behind customer targets and facing an increasing number of issues around implementation.

A major challenge in the project was managing a complex environment of stakeholders including construction partners, retail service providers, federal government, and Australian citizens. While the client had the infrastructure expertise, they didn’t have the experience in scaling a transformation program of this magnitude.

The client needed to significantly scale the delivery by over 260% and engaged us to help.
