Global leader of Deloitte Major Programmes, Rob is leading thinking on complex programme and transformation delivery. Creator of Deloitte’s Programme Aerodynamics NextGen delivery framework, Rob specializes in strategic execution, architecting and delivering the right conditions to successfully deliver the world’s most ambitious visions. In a world where big ambition and radical change has given rise to an increasing number of programmes that are V.U.C.A (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous) in shape, Rob helps clients enhance their existing delivery capability to create an optimized forward looking and data driven delivery ecosystem equal to the challenge.
This workshop will show you how to succeed by deploying the optimal delivery ecosystem on a multi-billion dollar project. The workshop follows the talk on changing the approach on the Crossrail project (at the time the largest construction project in Europe) in which Rob and Mark share their experience, explain what went wrong and what they had to change to successfully relaunch the project. Drawing on their knowledge from this and other large projects, and studying the techniques used in Formula 1 racing, they eventually developed a new approach to deliver all types of large and complex projects.
The workshop focuses on the framework and gives more space for discussion.
