Transforming National Connectivity: Efficient Grant Management for 5G Research

A national government department needed to drive innovation in 5G research and development through a flagship programme. The initiative required not only technical expertise but also refined processes for grant allocation, financial oversight, and benefits tracking. Addressing operational inefficiencies while maintaining stakeholder alignment was paramount to its success.

Reed Professional Services (RPS) stepped in to provide tailored expertise in project delivery, financial management, and process optimisation. By establishing clear frameworks and introducing cutting-edge tools, RPS enabled the programme to transition from planning to impactful execution.

• Partnered closely with stakeholders to clearly define deliverables, ensuring alignment with strategic objectives.
• Deployed a multidisciplinary team specialising in financial oversight, benefits realisation, and project management, tailored to the programme’s unique demands.
• Introduced modern project management tools like Monday.com, revolutionising the approach to grant management and streamlining operations.

• The programme achieved significant milestones ahead of schedule, setting a benchmark for operational excellence.
• Comprehensive project artefacts, including system guides and process documentation, laid the groundwork for continued success.
• Stakeholder engagement and feedback highlighted improved efficiencies, leading to a contract extension and programme scalability.
