Rescuing a stalled network consolidation
Recovered value verified against the original month-0 case under the Markham Verification Standard at month 26.
The situation
A logistics operator was fourteen months into a network consolidation that reported green and shipped nothing. There were fourteen workstreams, three steering committees and a programme office of twenty, and the depot network still ran exactly as it had on day one, which was the one fact no status report contained. The integrator’s dashboard showed 71% complete. Neither a customer nor a cost line could detect any change at all.
The board did not ask us to run the programme. It asked for the truth about it first, and then for a way to keep whatever value was still alive, which are two different pieces of work and were scoped and priced as two.
Impact in detail
All readings verified against the original month-0 case under MKM-F-003. Nothing here is measured against a re-forecast.
