Services
A complete management service
Encompassing Programme and Project Management, Service Management, Change
Management and Engineering and Safety Management.
Programme and Project Management
The basics of Project Management are simply stated as being the delivery of outputs to Time
Cost and Quality. These principles understate the difficulty of delivery of all but the most simple
project. Vosper Consultants are steeped in the delivery of the most difficult and complex
projects. Holding qualifications and accreditation from the Association of Project Managers
(APM); in APM Professional (APMP) and APM Practitioner Qualification (APMPQ) we are able to
add immediate value in areas of complexity and uncertainty. We offer services covering Project
Reviews, Project Controls (including Earned Value Management (EVM)) and Project Management
planning and delivery. We are well versed in Governance and Approvals and the construction
and presentation of compelling Business Cases in politicised environments with many stake
holding groups.
Our experience extends beyond the project environment into Programmes where Benefits
realisation and Change are key outcomes. We have accreditations from the Office of
Government Commerce (OGC) as Managing Successful Programmes (MSP) Practitioners. Our
services cover Programme Design, Programme Management and Programme Reviews where we
have a track record in the UK Government Major Project Authority (MPA) Gateway Review
processes, supplying Review Team Members (RTM) for high risk and business critical reviews.
All the formal frameworks are bounded, the APM for instance considering closure at project
delivery and ignoring the all-important service life and disposal elements of an enterprise.
Vosper Consultants take a lifecycle view of delivery covering all project phases from Concept to
Disposal, associated Lines of Development (such as training) and the Service elements that
combine to deliver outcomes and added-value.
Service Management
Service Management is easily ignored. At Vosper Consultants we can advise on, plan and
deliver Service Management strategies and plans using the Office of Government Commerce
Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL), the standard for Service Management. This
approach, included within a holistic programme environment can add the winning elements to
the realisation of Benefits through Positive Outcomes.
Change Management
The realisation of Benefits within a programme is largely about the successful implementation
of change.
In short, making the change stick and be enshrined within the behaviours and culture of an
enterprise. This is notoriously difficult. At Vosper Consultants we have managed and
implemented change in many environments and projects.
Engineering and Safety Management
With a proven track-record in Engineering Management, Vosper Consultants can advise, plan
and implement strategies for asset utilisation and safety management. We are used to
managing the most complex of integrated systems using Systems Engineering and SOSA
approaches. We work within regulated and rules based systems, but most importantly are very
experienced in the management of safety through the Safety Case where the simple application
of rules is not appropriate and where each application is bespoke, whether within a regulated
framework or not. We are familiar with the role of the Classification Societies in Shipping, and in
the military environment have been active in developing Lloyds Rules for Naval Ships.
Employing Chartered Engineers and other professionals we can provide assurance that all
aspects of engineering are properly managed, including design reviews, integration and
acceptance activities whether this is by design, simulation, or trials. We can identify and
manage hazards and offer Suitably Qualified and Experienced Personnel (SQEP) across many
aspects of complex, high value and safety critical engineering activities including naval
engineering and systems. Our expertise extends into the highly specialist area of Signature
Management and underwater shock, unique to the military field.
We are expert in risk-based decision making and the clear and objective thinking that underpins
a trusted risk-based approach.
