Our Oil & Gas client came to us with this challenge….

We are a capital projects portfolio of a large multi-national oil and gas company. We have struggled with challenging market conditions and are looking for an opportunity to deliver projects faster and more efficiently.

Key approaches

By working alongside the client ADAPTOVATE were able to:

  • Installed a priority management framework to shape opportunities and bring visibility of projects in queue to stakeholders​

  • Measured impact of QDC to prove effectiveness and promote case-for-change for scaling QDC more broadly across the organization​
