Blue Harbour  /  How we work

We start by showing you what is in your data.

Tell us about your projects and, ideally, send us some example data. Within a few days we will show you what is buried in it. Clients are usually surprised by how much becomes obvious.

You then decide what happens next.

We know infrastructure as well as we know the data. Our engineers and delivery partners work alongside your team the whole way.

More detail

Step 01 · Talk to us

The conversation comes first. Tell us about your projects and the challenges you’re facing. Send some example data if you can — and if you would rather not, we read what is published for your sector instead.

Step 02 · See what’s in your data

Proof before engagement — this happens before you have committed to anything.

After we have talked, we go away and read the record — your sector’s published data, or data you send us — and come back, within a few days, with what is in it. You then decide what happens next. What usually turns up:

01Cost and schedule drift
Project slippage that is already in the numbers, months before it shows up in a report.
02Documents that disagree
The design says one thing, the schedule another. The problems show when you read them together.
03Contingency quietly being spent
Risk allowances used up without anyone deciding to, across projects that each look on track.
Step 03 · Pilot it

We set it up on a handful of your real projects, with the people who will use it.

Step 04 · Run it yourselves
01Put it into your governance
Findings go into the reports and meetings where decisions are already made.
02Yours to run
We hand it over. You can stop after any step.
