Project Controls & Organizational Transformation

Seven complementary disciplines to make costs, deadlines, contractual obligations, risks and governance of complex programs more reliable.

  • Cost · Schedule · Risk
  • Contracts · Change
  • AI-PMO · Transformation

Intervention framework

Cost · Schedule · Risk · Contracts · Information · AI

The Project Controls function provides a common basis of data, forecasting and escalation for project teams, management and contracting parties.

01

Planning & Scheduling

Integrated planning, contractual baselines, critical path, delay analysis and progress control.

  • WBS/OBS structuring, contractual baseline and reference calendars
  • Critical path, float analysis, 4D schedules and progress curves
  • Delay analyses (TIA, window analysis, as-planned vs as-built)
  • Primavera P6, MS Project, integrated multi-contract schedules
02

Cost control & Forecasts

Budgeting, cost control, Earned Value Management, forecasting and variance analysis.

  • Estimation, budgeting, CBS and control structure by cost center
  • Earned Value Management, CPI/SPI, EAC/ETC and gap analysis
  • Contingency management, management provisions and cash flow curves
  • Integrated cost-planning reporting and Power BI dashboards
03

Contracts & Claims

Administration of EPC/EPCI contracts, change management, claims and commercial negotiation.

  • FIDIC, NEC, EPC/EPCI contracts and administration of obligations
  • Change orders, variations, claims and impact quantification
  • Notices, contractual correspondence and rights preservation strategy
  • Commercial negotiation, back-to-back suppliers and risk clauses
04

Risk Management & Opportunities

Identification, quantification and management of cost, schedule, contract and interface risks.

  • Risk register, taxonomy, appetite and escalation thresholds
  • Qualitative and quantitative analysis, Monte Carlo cost and time
  • Contingency sizing and P50/P80 confidence levels
  • Project risk reviews, portfolio and HSE/permitting interfaces
05

Document Control & Information

Document governance, Master Deliverable Register, EDMS/CDE, transmittals and revision management.

  • Coding, numbering, distribution matrices and review cycles
  • Master Deliverable Register, transmittals and customer feedback tracking
  • Configuration, revision management and as-built integrity
  • EDMS/CDE, approval workflows and end-of-project archiving
06

AI deployment for Project Managers

Use cases, data governance, predictive tools, adoption and accountability of deliverables.

  • Selection of use cases based on the problem, not the tool
  • Data preparation, quality, traceability and data governance
  • Predictive dashboards, contractual intelligence and decision support
  • Human responsibility, review of deliverables and adoption metrics
07

Organizational transformation

Front-End Loading, stage gates, matrix operating model, project governance and standardization of procedures.

  • Front-End Loading FEL-1, FEL-2 and FEL-3, from opportunity to project definition
  • Stage gates, maturity criteria, expected deliverables and Final Investment Decision
  • Operating model, roles, RACI, Project Procedures and governance bodies
  • Transformation ENERTRAG France: transition from a silo organization to a project matrix organization
  • Change management, communication routines, training and skills transfer

Front-End Loading & Stage Gate

Project development and authorization workflow

Front-End Loading gradually increases the maturity of the scope, cost, planning, risks and contractual strategy before the irreversible commitment of capital.

Opportunity

Strategic framing

Need, value creation, stakeholders, constraints and success criteria.

Gate 0 · Qualify
FEL-1

Business Planning

Business case, initial scope, hypotheses, options and order of magnitude.

Gate 1 Validate
FEL-2

Concept Selection

Comparison of concepts, CAPEX/OPEX, planning, risks, permitting and interfaces.

Gate 2 Select
FEL-3 / FEED

Project Definition

Basis of Design, estimation, level 3 planning, contracting strategy and risk exposure.

Gate 3 · FID
Execution

Delivery & Handover

Engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, start-ups and closing.

Gate 4 · Operate

ENERTRAG France · Initial situation

Execution organization structured in functional silos, with responsibilities, interfaces and decisions distributed between several functions.

Transformation towards a project matrix organization

  • Cross-functional project responsibility and reinforced coordination between functions
  • Roles, RACI, Project Procedures and decision-making bodies clarified
  • Maturity reviews and stage gates to secure the development-execution transitions
  • Predictive dashboards, risk management and multi-level communication routines
  • Alignment of execution with portfolio and EBITDA objectives

Integrated model

From baseline to executive decision

WBS/CBS, contractual planning, news, commitments, risk exposure, exchanges and contractual correspondence are reconciled in a common reporting and a consolidated forecast.

Baseline & Controls

Scope, WBS/CBS, budgets, schedule baseline, progress rules and data dictionary.

Forecast & Risk

EAC/ETC, critical path, quantitative risk analysis, contingencies and scenarios.

Governance & Decisions

Dashboards, performance reviews, escalation, change control and executive reporting.
