1. Introduction
Given the diversity of the projects delivered by the Group, we have not detailed how specific types of project
are executed in this process; this information and supporting best practice can be found on relevant practice
sites.
The execute process instead focuses on ensuring that we manage delivery and quality, including co-ordination,
sharing and publishing, of the deliverables.
This is managed through check and approval of deliverables.
Check and approval objectives are to:
• Confirm that the deliverable meets the scope of work in the PPW,
• Confirm the deliverable is technically correct and meets client requirements
2. Expected results
The purpose of the execute process is to ensure that:
• The Project Manager implements the PPW, cascading the necessary information to team leaders
and team members
• All deliverables are checked and approved before sharing (internal) and publishing (external)
• Project records are maintained in accordance with the PPW
• Lessons are learned, recorded and shared (as appropriate) after each major deliverable is published

information gathered about prospects for work should be brought to the attention of
the Client Account Leader. Where available, Connect Business CRM should be used
to record touch points with the client organisation as the execute activity progresses.
The Project Manager should liaise with Divisional Practice Managers for the relevant
technical work involved in the scope of work. The objective should be to reapply the
Group’s knowledge to reduce delivery risk and improve project efficiency. Where
appropriate on complex projects, support may also be sought from members of the
Excellence community such as, Technical Excellence Leaders, Sector Leaders or
Knowledge and Innovation Managers.
The role of the Project Manager throughout Execute, in addition to any role they have
in developing information, is to plan ahead and seek to ensure that with the support
of the Project Principal, Account Leader and Resource Manager for the project that
delivery is successful. Within this, the Project Manager should liaise with divisional
support services colleagues to facilitate billing the client promptly, correct commercial
implementation of the contract and compliance with the Group’s requirements. Project

of these activities.
