Resource and operational controls
 

Our continued growth and financial performance depends on having the right resources in place. To sustain our high contract win and retention rates, we have to satisfy clients that we have the operational scale and capability to deliver our promises – whether on relatively simple contracts or large scale, multi-service packages. Through the MOB process we continuously assess the needs of each business unit to ensure that we have the necessary people, infrastructure and resources for current and future development.

Each month, we monitor and review comprehensive operational management information enabling us to manage the business in away that delivers our key financial aims.
