Infrastructure enterprise delivery offers an alternative to transactional working.
Enterprise delivery is a collaborative approach to the execution of projects and programmes. As an alternative to the transactional model of delivery, it has the potential to reduce cost, save time and minimise waste.
This is achieved by uniting stakeholders in a single entity, the enterprise, establishing long-term relationships that enable the sharing of innovation, knowledge, best practice and experience.
For infrastructure customers and delivery partners, these benefits respond to industry challenges that are familiar across complex programmes: fragmented supply chains, duplicated effort, short-term procurement behaviours and limited knowledge transfer between programmes. The model is designed to improve how organisations work together, so value is created across the whole enterprise, rather than lost at the boundaries between contracts.
Infrastructure enterprise delivery
As the electrification and plant partner in the UK’s first enterprise delivery programme for railway renewals, Octavius understands what is needed to create and sustain a successful enterprise delivery model - the interdependent roles within it and the criticality of aligning stakeholder requirements with project outcomes.
Managing risk, ensuring accountability
As an enterprise partner, Octavius effectively combines technical expertise with commercial excellence to ensure effective and efficient governance. We align risk allocation, resource capability and digital transformation to create a clear and common view throughout the enterprise, helping to identify where risks lie – and who is accountable for them.
Creating the enterprise culture
The Octavius Way embodies the organisational culture and behaviours essential to succeed in a collaborative enterprise environment by aligning outcomes with the capabilities of high-performing, collaborative teams. Learn more about Creating an enterprise culture.
Always collaborative, always progressive
Progressive procurement is a force for good. Many organisations, while not implementing full-blown infrastructure enterprise delivery, are adopting procurement strategies designed to enhance collaboration and foster less transactional supply chain relationships. This is Octavius’ preferred way of working; it is where our people best perform. Read more about how and where we work progressively.
