Case Study 3

---

A Pan-European critical infrastructure provider was delivering a multi-year portfolio of network infrastructure projects supporting essential services across multiple jurisdictions. Executive leadership required a consolidated, fact-based view of investment performance to ensure capital was deployed efficiently while maintaining resilience and regulatory obligations.

To assess portfolio-wide investment performance against approved business cases and provide executive recommendations to improve capital efficiency, deployment success rates, and long-term return on investment (ROI).

• Led investment performance analysis across all network infrastructure projects spanning multiple European markets.
• Compared actual delivery and financial outcomes against business case assumptions using:
  
  • Net Present Value (NPV)
  • Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
  • Month-over-Month (MoM) performance trends
• Identified early indicators of underperformance linked to deployment delays, capital overruns, and benefit realization gaps.

• Highlighted misalignment between capital allocation and project-level IRR across the portfolio.
• Recommended reprioritization of capital toward higher-performing, strategically critical assets.
• Introduced standardized investment performance reporting to support ongoing executive oversight.
• Advised tighter stage-gate governance to improve deployment success rates and protect projected returns.

• Improved executive visibility across a complex, multi-country infrastructure portfolio.
• Strengthened capital discipline while preserving critical network resilience.
• Enabled data-driven decisions that improved projected ROI and reduced exposure to underperforming investments.
