Client background
A new government science program needed to deliver complex information to internal and external clients through both static and dynamic approaches.
The challenge
Being relatively new, the program lacked a clear strategy or roadmap, leading to ambiguity in its direction.
Key challenges included undefined methodologies, reliance on fragmented systems, and a reactive approach focused on ad hoc needs rather than long-term objectives. These issues impacted investment attraction, data reliability, and program effectiveness.
Our approach
Firstly, we started with simplifying the complex:
We created a clear plan to map out how various business components come together to manage and share environmental information, making it easier for everyone to understand and use.
Standardising the work:
Our quality assurance processes established standard methodologies, creating consistency and strengthening the program’s foundation.
From reactive to proactive:
Instead of just reacting to immediate needs, we planned for the future, embedding change management processes to sustain progress. This helped the program focus on long-term environmental goals.
Aligning with best practices:
To ensure we were on track, we integrated recommended models like the Object Management Group’s Business Motivation Model and The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) Enterprise Metamodel, following the government’s digital and ICT planning guidelines.
The Object Management Group (OMG) Business Motivation Model (BMM) helps organisations define their goals and strategies, aligning activities with their mission and vision.
It enables informed decisions by clarifying why actions are taken and how they contribute to objectives.
TOGAF is a framework that aligns IT systems with business goals, boosting efficiency and growth.
Its Architecture Development Method (ADM) structures IT information, helping organisations streamline their operations, reduce costs, and improve outcomes.
Transparency wins:
To build trust and improve program credibility, we enhanced stakeholder management by making it transparent how co-benefits were measured and valued.
Outcomes and benefits
Clearer priorities:
With better tools and plans, the program could see what was most important and use their resources more effectively.
Better conversations:
A clearer understanding across the board meant that people could talk more effectively, ensuring more goals were met.
Lasting impact:
Our approach has set the program on a path to long-term success, leveraging change management to enhance sustainability.
Improving society:
Our assistance enhances the client’s environmental program, fosters sustainability and facilitates better resource management.
Enabling data-driven decisions benefits both the public and the environment.
