One of Mott MacDonald’s key strengths is to see a problem from our customer’s perspective. We have established a range of support services for the nuclear marker which will enable our customers to meet their strategic business, technical and operational needs, such as:

• business cases
• economic appraisals
• socio-economic assessments
• business process reengineering
• asset management
• safety cases

Business cases
We recognise that the business case is an important and strategic document covering stakeholder management, technical, risk, value management, planning, funding and commercial knowledge. Experience is essential to produce a document that clearly identifies the benefits and justifies the level of investment needed.

We have the ability to help our customers develop business cases to inform strategic investment opportunities for key programmes of work. We are capable of providing formal document that provides justification for the investment required to deliver identified business benefits. It includes an initial analysis of the status quo and the need for improvements, proposed alternative solutions, assumptions, constraints and a risk-adjusted cost-benefit analysis. We employ experts in PFI/PPP, economics and finance to help our customers realise their business ambitions.

Business process reengineering
In a changing and dynamic market such as decommissioning and clean up, business process reengineering (BPR) will give any company who embraces it a competitive edge. This will be driven by the business environment and business strategy and involves the analysis and redesign of: processes and management systems, policies, organisational, structures, job definitions, beliefs and behaviours. Information and Communications Technology (ICT) can be a key enabler in the BPR process, as it provides new and innovative design possibilities.

Successful businesses regularly use BPR to continually improve their performance. However, inefficient business design, poor financial performance, a need to reduce costs, obsolete working practices, obsolete technology, competitive pressure, poor customer satisfaction, poor product/service quality and emerging market opportunities could also present a strong case for BPR.

Economic appraisals
Infrastructure development relies heaviliy on the economic appraisal techniques. At Mott MacDonald our skilled risk, design and value management teams are able to look at projects in a critical way. Our teams look at the contractual conditions and seek to transfer risk to those parties able to control it best and enable those opportunities to deliver projects ahead of budget and programme.

Asset management

Our master planning experts are able to synthesise all pertinent requirements to allow effective planning and coordination of developments around a shared goals for our customers based on forecast demand.
