In 2016 CRL was growing rapidly, IT Project delivery was unreliable, and it did not produce the required results.
With 90 laboratories to support around the globe, project on-time delivery was less than 60%.
IT Systems are required to support all processes, from Product Ideation, Prioritization, Business Cases, Planning, Full Kitting, WIP Management, Resourcing, Project Management, Scope, Quality and Budgets.
The CRL IT PMO function was swamped with work orders. The 60% on-time harmed customer satisfaction, employee engagement, and IT productivity.
IT Project Delivery had to change:
- Reliably deliver and the flow of value on time, on budget, and on quality.
- Building project delivery was required to be a core competency.

- Prioritize and use templates for repeatable activity.
