Transport: wide scope
Key Programme Challenges Immovable Deadline Complex Multi-modal Multi- Stakeholders involvement Nothing bigger than this! ….Therefore need a Holistic Systems Approach
How do we assure effective and efficient Transport operations? – Quantified analysis does not necessarily provide full confidence for success – It’s no more about project-based assurance, but overall holistic confidence – It’s trust, fingers on the pulse and believing in soft as well as hard evidence – Projects are different to operations: Operations is about See, Do, Teach (instantaneous lessons learnt and used) – So...what does this mean to us? – Projects transition to Operations require a different approach to Assurance

Operations Assurance Challenges Proportionate, appropriate assurance framework that gives confidence to deliver a bespoke, integrated transport system for Games-time Operations are less tangible than capital projects & many elements are subjective ODA Transport must work collaboratively with all relevant parties to provide a multi modal transport system To achieve progressive assurance, interim objectives should be defined together with clear success criteria, to meet the overall Transport objectives Olympic Transport is a ‘system of systems’ and must be integrated Reporting must be a dynamic and active tool to provide assurance to all and aid informed decision making for Ops Managing change and impact on governance and operations throughout the life cycle A set of supportive and practical tools and processes is required to assist in the implementation of the Assurance Framework
What do we mean by assurance? Our View of Assurance: ‘Confidence of a successful outcome’ Example: OGC Definition.... All the systematic actions necessary to provide confidence that the target (programme, project, outcome, benefit, capability) is appropriate
Level of Assurance: 1.Self assessment 2.Internal peer review 3.Programme Management assessment 4.SMT intervention 5.3 rd party/Independent Expert/ Impacted Stakeholder assessment Programme Lifecycle Objectives/Critical Outcomes Measures of success Prioritise: - Risk - Importance ODAT Operations Assurance Plan: 1. Objectives/critical outcomes 2. Measures of success 3. Levels of assurance Reviews: 1.‘Pulse’ Checks 2.Games-time Readiness Review 3.Post Games Review Assurance Reports Dynamic Proportionate Plan Do Check Review/Learn Risk-based Integrated Build on existing assurance Good practice The Assurance Process

Outcomes of the Pulse Check The two strategic objectives for 2010 are that ODAT will be fully ‘operationalised’ and ‘venueised’. Over 100 critical outcomes being agreed for The review has concluded that the Transport Programme is in good shape with some key challenges to be managed
Operations Confidence Dashboard
Summary The Pulse Check has provided collective confidence for achieving success for multi-modal transport in 2012 It has never been done before: innovative/ best practice tailored proportionate approach to proactively provide confidence based upon extensive research and consultation doing it differently, with others Supports and facilitates transition to, and delivery of operations and legacy Predictive and proactive approach to Assurance with all-embracing fit-for- purpose reporting Wise before the event!
