The interviewer
Our client, Brookmere Water, is a regional water utility serving 720,000 households. Twelve months into a three-year, $180m programme to fit every household with a smart meter, it has installed 144,000 meters against a plan of 240,000, and the programme director warns the budget will be exceeded. The COO wants to know what is going wrong, how big the overrun will be, and how to get the programme and its business case back on track. How would you approach this?
