Case Study: a British multinational defence and aerospace company achieves export control compliance and programme stability with Project One

British Multinational Defence and Aerospace Company delivers £50m export control programme with Project One

The customer, a British multinational defence and aerospace company, faced a significant challenge to meet U.S. export control regulations under a Consent Agreement. It had launched a complex, £50m multi-year technology programme across autonomous business units, but the effort lacked cohesive planning, governance, and a clear change strategy for its 30,000 impacted staff. Project One was engaged to provide programme management and business change expertise to regain control and deliver the required standardised solutions.

Project One reset the programme's plans and governance, established rigorous controls, and aligned the disparate business units. They defined and executed a business change strategy, led supplier negotiations, and successfully oversaw the go-live of all six common technology solutions. This included maintaining momentum through the COVID-19 pandemic to deliver two key solutions on schedule. The results provided the customer with robust, standardised processes and the sustainable internal capability needed to demonstrate enhanced compliance.
