AMTEC Management Consulting today
announced that in conjunction with Hitachi Consulting UK, it has been
shortlisted for the 'Change Management in the Public Sector'
Award organised by the Management Consultancies Association (MCA) for the
innovative work carried out on the Future Brize Programme, a GBP340m programme
to establish Brize Norton as the RAF's centre for air transport and air-to-air
refuelling operations.
The AMTEC/Hitachi Consulting team was one of seven entries to be shortlisted
in its category. The nomination recognises how, in a turnaround project, the
team addressed the key programme management components required for a successful
outcome, providing programme stability, visibility of current project status and
the transfer of skills. The result is that the Future Brize Programme now has
the structure, governance and momentum needed to succeed. With the programme
back on track, cost savings are projected at GBP23 million per annum, morale is
high and people aspects (such as the impact on RAF families) are a top priority.
Romy Nash, AMTEC Director of Consulting, added, "With our joint
expertise, we have helped deliver a robust and stabilising programme management
environment, to enable the Senior Responsible Owner and Programme Manager to
accurately assess current programme status against planned activity to meet the
varied audit and reporting requirements of the Government, the Ministry of
Defence and the Secretary of State."
