The Challenge
Our client aimed to upgrade their national Fixed Wireless network to 5G, involving over 2,000 sites across the country within a stringent delivery timeframe.
The primary objectives were to centralise the Project Management Office (PMO) to manage multiple workstreams effectively and to provide senior stakeholders with precise and insightful updates on the programme's progress and effectiveness.
Additionally, the client required a highly skilled technical team to support the engineering, quality, and construction demands of this significant project while ensuring minimal disruption to existing customers.
The Solution
Gibson Quai International (GQI) initiated the programme by collaborating with the client to establish a centralised PMO, incorporating a best-in-class governance, reporting, and communications framework.
This foundation was critical for the successful execution of the programme. Our PMO team worked closely with the client’s internal workstreams to ensure alignment with the new framework.
We also provided essential support and strategic direction across all aspects of design, engineering, build, and acceptance, ensuring they met the programme's high expectations.
The Result
Throughout the delivery phase, our client successfully met their ambitious construction targets, with the project maintaining its schedule and budget.
The introduction of various build practice initiatives by our team led to improved quality metrics, ensuring that the programme's goals were not only achieved but also exceeded in terms of efficiency and effectiveness.
