Overarching Management of the Umbrella Initiative to Accelerate CCS Roll-out Performance
Initial Situation: The modernization and digitalization of CCS is not feasible with today’s procedures, regulations, and processes. A high investment backlog, poor condition ratings, personnel-intensive operations, and high susceptibility to failure make CCS one of the most critical disciplines.
Problem: Structural, procedural, and organizational deficits exist throughout the entire CCS lifecycle. The large number of sub-projects, measures, dependencies, and stakeholders involved leads to high coordination and management efforts.
Requirement: Overarching management is needed to bundle the measures of the seven sub-projects, align them with a common end-to-end target vision, and track their progress transparently. This requires binding project, committee, risk, communication, and reporting structures.
Establishment of a central project management office and a task force for the overarching coordination of the umbrella initiative
Structuring and management of the 62 measures across seven sub-projects
Development and operational implementation of an overarching management and reporting concept
Establishment of risk management at the project management level
Establishment of appropriate project committees and systematic stakeholder management
Development and implementation of a communication strategy with formats tailored to target groups
Alignment of bottom-up measures with a common end-to-end target vision and derivation of necessary consequences
Ongoing monitoring of critical project milestones and support for their successful implementation
Overarching bundling and transparent management of measures for the further development of CCS
Creation of binding project, committee, risk, and reporting structures
Improved transparency regarding progress, dependencies, risks, and critical milestones
Joint alignment of the seven sub-projects with an overarching end-to-end target vision
Strengthening cooperation and communication between the departments and stakeholders involved
Contribution to the sustainable acceleration of CCS roll-out performance and the systematic rectification of existing deficits
"Brockmann & Büchner combines strategic vision with operational implementation strength in the project – from structuring the overall undertaking to providing concrete support for individual measures."
The LST initiative is aimed at infrastructure operators and network operators who need to manage a large-scale modernization or digitalization of their control and safety technology.
The approach is relevant whenever numerous sub-projects and measures are running in parallel, dependencies exist between trades and organizational units, and there is a lack of an overarching program structure that makes progress transparent and aligns all participants toward a common target vision.
