Our approach
One key method to our shared success is one we call PAM – our Progressive Assurance Methodology. It’s a way for us to work together that delivers more value for you, further manages and minimizes your risk and helps you achieve authorisation.
PAM, in five simple steps
There are five key components that helps PAM make your projects a success…
Early Engagement
To ensure value from an early stage, we’ll provide clear, easily understood initial engagement at feasibility and option selection stages.
Shared Goals
We’ll establish a clear understanding of expectations and ‘what good looks like’ for you, from the very start.
Progressive Assurance
We’ll provide assurance from the start of your project to completion, with real-time status of project compliance available to stakeholders.
Risk Based Approach
Our assessment findings and conclusions are based on risk to system safety.
Corrective Actions
Non-compliance is communicated clearly, with an agreed time-bound action plan to resolve issues and prevent any potential problems further down the line.
We’ve carefully applied best practice and learning from hundreds of previous projects to make significant improvements to the CSM and RIR assessment process and de-risk the authorisation of future schemes.
