ROLE
Deputy project management (external), sparring partner, methodological groundwork
SITUATION & CHALLENGE
A communications and consulting group with several companies faced a decision on its location. Scattered offices and studios, expiring leases, renovation pressure at the main site and a strong cost focus all met at once. Several options were on the table, from keeping everything as it was to a single shared location. What was missing was a solid basis for the board decision.
APPROACH
We first clarified conditions, objectives and drivers instead of rushing to assess options. Out of the variety of options grew a transparent funnel: weight the criteria, assess the options in a utility value analysis, compare the remaining sites. In parallel we built a ten-year TCO view that made savings and one-off costs visible. Everything condensed into a proposal for the board; as deputy project management we structured the project organisation and the reporting.
OUTCOME & CLIENT VALUE
The board was able to take the decision – reasoned, documented and calculated over ten years. Of five options, one viable and internally workable solution remained, bringing cost focus and site requirements together. The decision could be justified transparently to every one of the group companies. The structure and the decision bases came from Desigon, the decision stayed with the board.
