HMS Vanguard Submarine and DMP: Innovation and added value

Through Gleeds’ integrated and joint teaming approach, we brought together a team of qualified and experienced individuals to assist Babcock to strengthen their project controls environment and develop, implement and maintain industry best practice techniques for the estimating, planning and scheduling activities required for the HMS Vanguard DMP. We mobilised a team of 12 subject matter experts to be fully integrated into the existing customers organisation. The integrated team was led and managed by Gleeds under an alliance charter that ensured all members were aligned and focussed on delivering the objectives.
