IT Insights Dashboard Challenge: To obtain a clear and consistent view of IT business performance. Approach: Project One led a matrixed customer team, adopting an Agile approach to iteratively design and build a new automated dashboard, fed by a single data mart. We facilitated a cross-functional review of the Measures and produced a set of recommendations. A ‘best in class’ suite of supporting documentation was developed, covering process guides, data architecture and an SLA for transition to BAU. We co-ordinated operational and business readiness activities to ensure a smooth landing at the monthly IT Leadership meeting. Outcomes: The automation of the dashboard removed manual production waste, saving one working day per month for 10+ FTEs. Month-end report availability was cut in half, providing timely and transparent MI, and a refined suite of Measures enabled the IT Leadership Team to make informed decisions based on real insights.
IT unit Business Performance function Challenge: Project One was asked to take control, stabilise the service as well as simplifying and automating reporting to provide the Leadership Team with the information and insights they needed to run the business. Approach: Project One established control within four weeks, delivering a comprehensive monthly report that established a performance baseline, providing visibility and management control. Outcomes: The team defined the operational scorecard with the Leadership Team and implemented streamlined Portfolio Governance procedures to drive the annual portfolio planning process. A Tier review process was established, and a performance dashboard created, using source systems to report Workforce, Scorecard, Risk and Portfolio information. In parallel, the in-house analyst capability was developed and off-shored.

We conducted an IT Diagnostic to determine improvements to the provision of existing services, and determined how and where IT services needed to improve to align with the Science Units Business Outcomes and Plan. The review recommendations were implemented and our scope increased to drive the actions to establish and embed the new operating model.
