Operations
Build it. Run it. Improve it.

The method
Assess → Build → Manage
A way of engaging, not a separate set of services. Not every engagement requires all three stages.
Assess
Understand the need.
Evaluate the current operation, project, system or business requirement before recommending anything.
Build
Create the solution.
Implement the appropriate process, system, service or operating structure rather than only delivering a report.
Manage
Keep it working.
Remain involved as an ongoing operational resource administering what was put in place.
How the method applies to Operations
The same three stages, applied to the operation in front of us.
Project Operations
- Assess existing project systems and controls.
- Build the required controls, software, reporting and administrative structure.
- Manage those systems throughout the project.
Business Operations
- Assess existing business processes.
- Build workflows, systems and controls.
- Manage the resulting administrative operation.
Safety & Compliance Systems
- Assess existing procedures and requirements.
- Build or adapt the required system.
- Manage administration, documentation and reporting where contracted.
Assessment
Understand the operation before changing it.
The objective is to understand how the operation runs today, identify opportunities and determine what solution actually makes sense—before anyone recommends software, staffing or a new process.
- Business process assessment
- Project operations assessment
- Project controls assessment
- Software and systems assessment
