Acquisition of armoured patrol vehicles for the Danish soldiers

DALO was to acquire armoured patrol vehicles, a complicated process involving many different actors.

Therefore, DALO wanted assistance in accomplishing the project as the organisation did not have ready-to-run project managers available. The task involved the management and implementation of the project, and Peak’s consultant was therefore hired as a project manager.

Peaks approach:

DALO’s key goal for the project was time – the faster, the better – and Peak’s consultant assisted DALO in achieving this goal. More specifically, this involved creating an overview and managing the process. In other words, you must know who the stakeholders are and what resources are available. At the same time, it is crucial to get the right specialists on board and to ensure dialogue with the right actors at the right times.

The management of the acquisition project took place in close cooperation with the steering committee chairman and the rest of the steering committee. Also, dialogue with other stakeholders was essential to ensure that the right decisions were made at the correct times. Simultaneously, the project was based on the requirement that it should follow the PRINCE2 methodology in terms of governance. It was adapted to the reality and the situation in which DALO found itself. In addition, the construction of the new operating structure and the transfer to the user were an important aspect, so that DALO could manage the project itself and operate subsequently.
