Network Rail is cutting through the complexity of a benefits landscape

Network Rail is one of 25 partners helping to drive smarter transport infrastructure and  together with Government, i3P and the Construction Innovation Hub, formed Transport Infrastructure Efficiency Strategy (TIES) Living Lab.

The Transport Infrastructure Efficiency Strategy states, ultimately, investment in transport infrastructure will drive growth and productivity across the UK.

The benefits of Network Rail’s involvement in the Department for Transport (DfT) TIES Living Lab programmes had been clarified using Visio benefit maps and painted a very complex picture. It became apparent that they needed a tool to manage the benefits value and realization.    

Rhianna Warden, Interim Programme Director, worked collaboratively with David Waters from Asset Insights (a SharpCloud partner) and 2 Business Change Managers in her team at Network Rail, to develop a portfolio set of benefits maps and dashboards in SharpCloud which demonstrate the magnitude of the task and simplify the understanding.

"Each benefit map displays a network of benefits, linked to one or more of the bounding Corporate objectives, mapping all the cause and effect relationships between outputs, capabilities, outcomes and benefits​."
- Rhianna Warden, Programme Director (Interim)


The Benefits Management dashboard in SharpCloud:

  • Provides a view of project interdependencies
  • Enables the weighting of connectors
  • Provides a basis for willingness to pay decisions
  • Informs future investment decisions
