Description
Interim Programme Manager for a five company consortium project (£30M), responsible for ensuring all deliverables, progress, governance and budgets
Achievements:
-
Recovered confidence of primary funder (Innovate UK/TSB), brought transparency to reporting
-
Returned approx. £4M of funding having ensured progress on good value projects and closed poor value projects
-
Resolved commercial issues as the market changed
-
Handed over a much smaller very stable project to others which is now complete
As Interim Program Manager, I took over the management of a five company consortium developing a portfolio of offshore wind technologies.
I rapidly brought order to prime funder reporting and governance requirements (Innovate UK), restoring confidence and ensuring a continuing funding flow for a total programme value of approx. £30m.
I managed the consortium through a contractually and politically difficult period of declaring (previously not visible) spend variances and non-conformances, resolving all contractual issues arising.
I reshaped/renegotiated the scope of delivery and obligations to what:
- was achievable
- would provide best value for money for all stakeholders
- would best manage liabilities.
I handed over a now smaller, stable project to others.
