1 Project Development & Delivery Supporting Document Our ambition is to be the best rail infrastructure project delivery organisation in the UK Document Ref: SBPT207 Version 0.3

2 Introduction To achieve the vision of delivering more capacity, moving more passengers faster, more reliably and more safely than ever will require a major capital investment programme. This programme will need to be delivered whilst demonstrating increased levels of value for money, and minimizing the impact on the running of the operational railway. We will build on the successful completion in CP4 of a significant portfolio of works, including Thameslink KO1, Kings Cross Station, FTN/GSMR, and major track renewals and signaling upgrades. However this programme will require us to further improve our capability to effectively and efficiently design, develop, integrate and deliver major projects, programmes and renewals. It will require an innovative approach to delivery, and earlier and stronger collaboration with our supply chain, and to change our approach to the specification and packaging of projects. What we have done so far? Last year we embarked on an ambitious change programme to create an organisation that can provide an effective and efficient customer focused delivery capability and provide outstanding value. We revised our capital project organisation by establishing customer-focused internal project delivery business units in the form of regional organisations matched to routes. We have retained national delivery teams and programmes where there was value in keeping specialist skills and a pan route focus: Regions Western & Wales (including Crossrail) Southern Central Scotland and the North East National Programmes Track renewals Signalling Thameslink FTN/GSMR We introduced a client structure as the first step in creating a full client capability A client capability enabling the effective development and definition of requirements and work aggregation to support efficient delivery. A simplified but robust operating model that delivers: Effective governance and assurance Improved project delivery Improved Efficiency Improved People Capability Key Initiatives Track Delivery Efficiency programme Introduction of a new Quality Management framework Simplification of systems and processes A comprehensive programme of supplier engagement events 10 point people capability workstream Review Areas We created a Network Rail International Consultancy business to enable the sale of consultancy services covering the full range of Network Rail s capabilities. We launched a series of pilot project alliances which will help inform and test or our revised customer and supply chain engagement. We are working to create A further devolved organisation with clear interfaces both with the Network Rail client organisation and the central Network Rail business. Transparency over costs and value adding services will have been achieved. Network Rail 2

3 Change the Business DIME Programme The DIME Programme was commenced in 2011 with its prime objective being to demonstrate and deliver Value for Money across the rail capital programme, seeking operational cost reductions within the delivery organisations to support the efficient delivery within CP5. The objectives of DIME are to: Create an internal client who defines what they want Re-structure the internal projects delivery business in order to become more market competitive Enable the internal projects delivery business to compete for non-nr work The strategy to achieve this will be to: Create a client capability in each Route who produce clear output requirements Commercialise the relationship between client and deliverer Align deliverer with the Routes Achieve earlier market engagement and greater supply chain collaboration Enable a simple, lean and agile deliverer structure The DIME Programme is split into four phases: Phase 1 Strategic Approval [completed] Phase 2 Programme Validation and Development [completed] Phase 3 Programme Delivery [completed] Phase 4 Programme Implementation and further changes [In Progress] By April 2012, DIME Phase 3 delivered the following: A revised capital project delivery framework which recognises devolution through the establishment of customer-focused internal project delivery organisations in the form of Regional organisations matched to routes. A client organisation structure ready to support the next stage of development in phase 4. An International Network Rail Consultancy business to enable the sale of consultancy services covering the full range of Network Rail s capabilities including Strategic Planning, Asset Management, Operations and Maintenance as well as infrastructure Projects.. A series of Pilot projects which will help inform and test or our revised customer and supply chain engagement approaches, assuring capability improvements. DIME Phase 4 will deliver by the start of CP5: A further devolved organisation with clear interfaces both with the Network Rail client organisation and the central Network Rail business, achieving transparency over costs and value adding services A client capability within the Route organisations, enabling the effective development and definition of requirements and work aggregation to support efficient delivery. A simplified but robust operating model that delivers: Effective governance & assurance Improved Project Delivery Improved Efficiency Capability Network Rail 3

4 DIME Phase 4 Approach & Outcomes DIME Phase 4 is formed and builds on the Phase 3 deliverables achieved in April 2012 and seeks to deliver the following outcomes: Services: Engage with our clients earlier in the lifecycle enabling greater innovation opportunity Leverage the IP Unique Selling Points (USPs) as well as develop a portfolio of services to be available to the marketplace Deliver and demonstrate whole life cost design solutions Engage with our supply chain earlier in the lifecycle encouraging integrated partnerships and goals Enable vertical alignment across our supply chain with more focus on the 2nd tier Reduce cost of, and improve the value for money from services provided by NRIL to IP Generate flexible business models enabling IP to enter and exit varying markets smoothly Demonstrate we are upper quartile performers compared to our peers Processes: Create an integrated simplified management system across IP Seek ISO 9001, 14001, and BS11000 accreditation A clear focus on creating simplified, flexible and fit for purpose processes/systems with clear ownership and which effectively interface with our clients Embed knowledge management within IP enabling information re-use and best practice across IP Effective governance and compliance enabling staff greater ability to make timely decisions Improve and simplify performance management information and reporting A focus on work delivered forecasting to enable accurate in-year cost and profit projections Transparent arms length engagement with NRIL People: A customer focussed business encouraging listening, flexibility, responsiveness and demonstrable VFM Live the NR values of honesty, openness, courage and service as well as being a partnering orientated business A strong focus on developing our staff so they have broader skills base whilst maintaining specialist USP skills Staff more receptive and adaptable to change Improved staff performance management Highly engaged and motivated staff Organisation: Be a P&L Business that is geographically structured with national and major programmes A flexible but leaner structure enabling staff to move easily between businesses and simple integration of partners into the business Seek industry awards and be proactive in maximising positive press coverage of IP A mature Business Development /Client Engagement discipline Network Rail 4

5 Track Delivery Efficiency Programme The Track efficiency programme has two areas of primary focus, these being Safety and Deliverability. The safety focus is on evaluation and development of the new modes of working primarily aimed at supporting an effective reduction in access requirements, whilst deliverability concentrates on technologies and approaches for Plain Line, Switches and Crossings and High Output activities.
