Innovate UK

i3Works were employed by Innovate UK to assure projects ranging from £100-400k in value. Our role was to assess 6 project success indicators, including exploitation plan (the ability to enhance commercial value and grow the solution at the end of the investment phase) P3M and project controls, and culture. i3Works developed techniques to identify high performing teams and provided targeted recommendations centred around team building, stakeholder communications, and people-centred transformational change.

Defence Digital

Defence Digital

Defence Digital had recently introduced a new function into their delivery portfolios, the Portfolio Integration Office (PIO), responsible for ensuring programmatic coherence within and between portfolios. Because the function was new and had not been implemented consistently, Defence Digital needed to conduct assurance to establish the gap between actual and intended maturity. i3Works used their experience in both programme and project delivery and organisational change, as well as specialist assurance expertise, to develop and implement an integrated assurance framework.

Transport for London

Transport for London’s internal assurance team selected i3Works as one of its external assurance framework partners. i3Works uses their vast expertise in assurance, technology, and infrastructure to provide second-line assurance on high-budget, high-profile transport projects. i3Works develops targeted recommendations to provide the programme SROs, assurance team, and wider organization with confidence in future programme success and provides trusted, independent judgement.

A few words from Transport for London

“i3Works have completed a number of second line project assurance reviews for TfL. Deliverables have always been of a high standard, demonstrating a thorough understanding of key issues. The team has always been keen to work with us to understand exactly what we want and has actively sought, and taken on board, feedback after each review. Reports have always been delivered on time and the team has been flexible when review dates have changed.”
