Johnson Matthey – Project & Portfolio Management Tool Implementation

Johnson Matthey is a global leader in sustainable technologies, renowned for cutting-edge innovation that has a positive impact on the environment.

We were appointed to spearhead a global implementation of a Project & Portfolio Management (PPM) tool called KeyedIn, a SaaS solution that support the evolving needs of PMOs, enabling business transformation, strategy realisation and organisational change across their £1m+ Capital Projects Portfolio. We supported Johnson Matthey’s internal Programme Management Office (PMO) team with preparing for changes in the way they work, transitioning from a paper-based system to an electronic system.

As Johnson Matthey experienced rapid marketplace growth, they also underwent continuous mergers and acquisitions, which resulted in a difference in the way in which each global department managed and reported on Capital Projects.

Our first step was to engage with the stakeholders across the globe to understand their requirements and how these needs manifested in their processes and practices. Based on the findings, we worked with a 3rd Party supplier to design the PPM tool. This included developing process workflows, a suite of reporting requirements and defining dashboards to enable the senior leadership teams to understand true performance in real-time.

We developed and delivered training globally across Asia, America and Europe on best practice project management processes and the new system. By the end of the project, we saw a month-on-month increase in successful project delivery and the entire organisation had one way of managing and reporting on Capital Projects globally, allowing for precision measurement and continued growth.
