General Summary
Company Programme Major Projects Risk Governance (MPRG) is an illustrative PHC project record created by David Winter. It is not an official company project record. The model could be applied in the company’s operating region across Sussex, Kent, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, particularly in the company’s office/PMO context.

Current Situation
Currently, as an illustrative project, no live company service is being delivered by PHC. However, pilot services could include weekly risk-register reviews, monthly partner-risk integration, and monthly leadership risk reports involving project managers, risk owners, planners, cost teams, and PMO leadership.
Future Vision
The vision is to deliver Major Projects Risk Governance Support, integrating risk management into the company’s infrastructure projects to improve risk visibility, ownership, and mitigation across projects. The goal is to apply this model first to major projects and then expand across the wider programme of projects.
How Do We Get There?
To achieve this, we need live integration with the company’s risk-management platform, access to project schedules and data, and formal partner-risk submissions. Establishing reliable reporting and escalation rhythms will be crucial.
Current Situation
The illustrative work is conducted from a home-office base in Essex with standard equipment like a phone, laptop, and internet access. For live company roles, equipment would align with the company’s IT/security standards.
Future Vision
The ideal future setup would be a hybrid model with remote work from Essex and planned physical attendance at key project locations and the company’s office location for workshops and stakeholder engagement.
How Do We Get There?
Establish reliable remote connectivity and ensure authorised access to the company’s systems. Additionally, manage travel effectively to accommodate hybrid work patterns.
Current Situation
Currently, David Winter is the sole active participant for this illustrative project. In a live company context, the team would likely include project managers, risk owners, planners, and other stakeholders.
Future Vision
The vision is to have a fully integrated team including company PMO leadership, project managers, delivery partners, and other key roles to support risk governance across major projects.
How Do We Get There?
Recruit and resource key roles such as Senior Risk Manager and Risk Analyst. Provide necessary training on the company’s governance and risk management systems and integrate internal expertise.
Current Situation
The illustrative project has no separate income or financial records. Funding for live implementation would come through the company’s employment or project-delivery budget arrangements.
Future Vision
The ideal financial setup includes securing funding for roles such as Senior Risk Manager and Risk Analyst, covering salary, training, and travel expenses for effective risk governance implementation.
How Do We Get There?
Secure a budget for pilot implementation, ensuring allocation for critical roles and necessary resources. Align financial management with the company’s finance and procurement systems.
Current Situation
Currently, channels include PHC Port and interview materials. In a live context, communication would be through Teams, SharePoint, and the company’s PMO and governance meetings.
Future Vision
The vision is to engage stakeholders, including company leadership, regulators, and local communities, using integrated communication channels to support project transparency and risk management.
How Do We Get There?
Leverage existing company communication channels, establish regular workshops, and provide clear, concise reports to keep all stakeholders informed and engaged.
