"A control system for major project delivery"

Approach / Method.

MPDAF:Major projects rarely fail because of one isolated issue. They fail when strategy, governance, assurance, delivery disciplines, supply chain, operations, and decision-making do not function as a coherent system.MPDAF™ provides that system — a full lifecycle, systems-based integration model providing full lifecycle control of major projects through better governance and progressive assurance.MPDAF™ integrates strategic need, investment justification, delivery strategy, systems engineering, progressive assurance, governance, integrated planning, supply chain model selection, commissioning, readiness for service, operations review, and benefits realisation.The result is clearer decisions, stronger governance, earlier risk visibility, improved delivery control, and greater confidence that major projects will deliver as intended outcomes.Working independently across government, operators, and Tier 1 consultancies, we bring both strategic and practitioner-level experience to see the full project system objectively — not from within the delivery noise, but across it.

P3MC:Today - many companies struggle with actual implementation of AI: rewiring processes, training people effectively, and driving real change rather than just running pilots.P3MC.ai begins this journey from the beginning for project-based organisations, focusing on the why in their strategy, before proceeding to the 'how'. This is not just theory - Broughton & Co. delivers from the perspective of builders, strategy and target operating model, and 'in the trenches' project delivery enabling us to enhance your project organisation with AI technologies - integrating with humans and not replacing them.Human capital and token capital workflows, domain knowledge, and accumulated judgment into systems that fit your strategy and that improve with each use.

Experience.

"The objective is a repeatable delivery system — yet prior to MPDAF, only 0.5% of projects deliver the trifecta: successful delivery to budget, schedule, with the required quality and benefits."

Broughton & Co. changes these statistics.

Our mission is to change these legacy statistics by addressing the root cause of failure — the absence of a coherent full-lifecycle delivery system. Through MPDAF™, owner need, requirements, strategy, governance, assurance, delivery disciplines, the supply chain, and the operator are integrated into a single system of control. This creates alignment from the outset, maintains visibility and accountability through delivery, and enables timely intervention where risk emerges. The result is a repeatable delivery model — capable of consistently achieving better cost, schedule, quality, and benefits realisation.

• What is MPDAF™?

MPDAF™ is a systems-based control model for major project delivery.It integrates strategic need, investment justification, delivery strategy, systems engineering, assurance, governance, integrated planning, supply chain model selection, commissioning, readiness for service, operations review, and benefits realisation into one coherent delivery system.It ensures projects set off on the right footing, and systematically delivers through control steps with progressive assurance and governance checks and balances to ensure integrated control.

• Why is this needed?

Major projects rarely fail because of one isolated issue.They fail when strategy, governance, assurance, delivery disciplines, supply chain, operations, and decision-making do not work as one system.MPDAF™ is designed to address that fragmentation.

• What makes MPDAF™ different?

MPDAF™ is not an additional layer of governance or assurance. It is a control system that integrates strategy, delivery, assurance, and operations into a single structure of control.Traditional assurance often identifies issues after they have already become embedded.MPDAF™ is designed as progressive assurance — integrated across the lifecycle — with strong governance providing earlier visibility of risk, stronger decision-making, and better control before outcomes become fixed.

• Who is Broughton & Co typically engaged by?

Broughton & Co works with government, operators, major project owners, and Tier 1 consultancies where delivery confidence, governance, value for money, and reputation matter.

• Do you replace existing teams or advisors?

No.Broughton & Co is complementary working alongside existing teams, advisors, and delivery partners.Our role is to see the full project system objectively, identify where control is weak or fragmented, and help strengthen the system of delivery.

• Can this work within existing structures?

Yes. MPDAF™ integrates with existing governance and delivery environments, improving coherence without requiring wholesale replacement.

• At what stage should Broughton & Co be engaged?

The earlier the better.MPDAF™ is most powerful when applied from strategic need and business case development through to delivery strategy and investment decision.It can also be applied during delivery, recovery, commissioning, or readiness for service where risk is already emerging.Strategically, taking lessons learned and applying systematic change to your process and operating model to integrate MPDAF™ systems and technologies.

• What benefits should clients expect?

Clearer decisions.Stronger governance.Earlier risk visibility.Better delivery control.Greater confidence that major projects will deliver the outcomes they were created to achieve.

• Is MPDAF™ a one-off review or a repeatable model?

It can be used for targeted intervention, but its greater value is as a repeatable delivery system.The objective is not simply to improve one project, but to create a model that improves how major projects are defined, governed, delivered, and realised over time.

• What happens if my current system is left unchanged?

Delivery issues become embedded, reducing the ability to influence outcomes and increasing risk to cost, schedule, and performance.

• Why Broughton & Co?

Broughton & Co are the designers of MPDAF™.We combine strategic and practitioner-level experience with independent judgement — seeing the full project system not from within the delivery noise, but across it.We are not embedded within delivery structures and we have the experience to provide project advisory, conduct initial strategic review of projects, independent assessment and advisory of corporate systems change aligning with MPDAF™, ongoing advisory, delivery support, and strategic consultation.
