The Second Client Internal

Internal Client

Approach

Our approach to serving / supporting both Clients includes

• A consistent approach & closer liaison with each major client

• Systems – Internal growth and consolidation • Specific Sector solutions

• Addressing ongoing challenges

Our External Client Project Managers and their teams require a programme that:• defines the contracted work• conforms to their WBS• allows them to predict and manage their cashflow• aligns with their reporting cycle• demonstrates progress against a baseline of their choosing• defines timing and relationship with both their and third party

activities• summarises build sequences and complex relationships• accommodates change• supports EVA techniques

Approach

• defines our contracted work• demonstrates build sequences and complex relationships• defines timing and relationship with both client and third

party activities• provides output for specific customers• captures complete and demonstrates current and future

activities• allows us to predict and manage our cashflow• provides output to meet internal reporting cycles• demonstrates the impact of change• supports Earned Budget techniques

Our Internal Project teams and Management require a programme that:
