Areas of focus / Professional practice
The disciplines behind reliable delivery.
These are the project controls and commercial management subjects I work with and write about. I share practical perspectives here to encourage better-informed conversations about the work.
01 / Integrated controls
A joined-up view of delivery.
How cost, schedule, risk, change and performance information fit together; controls frameworks, baselines, data quality, traceability and assurance.
02 / Cost & performance
Understanding performance and forecast.
Cost management, total cost thinking, estimates at completion, earned value, trends, variance and the communication of performance information.
03 / Risk & uncertainty
Making uncertainty discussable.
QCRA and QSRA, risk and opportunity management, mitigation, contingency governance and ways to connect risk insight to cost and schedule decisions.
04 / Contract & change
Commercial practice in changing programmes.
NEC3 and NEC4 processes, compensation events, accepted programmes, change management, commercial governance and the importance of timely, clear communication.
05 / People & governance
Good controls depend on good conversations.
Governance, stakeholder engagement, executive reporting, team leadership, coaching and translating detailed controls into clear insight for decision-makers.
