€35M recovered on a transformation that was too important to fail

How independent assurance helped a leading European energy provider recover value and regain control of a critical technology transformation.

Client

A leading energy provider in the EU operating critical business services and complex technology platforms.

The challenge

A critical technology transformation had reached a point where leadership needed an independent view of programme health, delivery risk and value exposure. Confidence in delivery reporting had reduced, governance decisions had slowed and the programme required senior intervention to return to control.

The approach

  • Independent diagnosis of programme health, vendor performance and true delivery risk
  • Reset of governance and executive decision-making
  • Re-negotiated scope and commercial terms with delivery partners
  • Senior assurance through to stabilisation - above the build, never competing with it

The outcome

  • €35M in value recovered
  • Transformation brought back under executive control
  • Delivery risk reduced through independent governance and decision-making

“Independent judgement created the clarity needed to make the right decisions at the right time.”
