Decision Making for Leaders
Project Execution Strategy
A route map by the UK Infrastructure and Projects Authority.
A good execution strategy considers:
– vision, requirements and context
– governance alignment
– risks, challenges, and opportunities
– objectives and performance targets
– controls strategy
– organisation, complexity-capability gaps, and interfaces
– delivery strategies for each scope element
– structure, continuous improvement and a flexible approach.
The project initiation routemap and the delivery environment complexity analytic (DECA) are good tools to examine complexity-capability, document gaps and agree on actions as part of establishing project execution strategy. This approach was used in developing an alternate project execution strategy for MMG’s Kinsevere sulphide processing project in the DRC.
