  • Multi-billion-dollar defence infrastructure programmes don’t fail in construction, they fail in the decisions made before delivery even starts. In this article, Paul Halton OBE sets out what it takes to mobilise and govern complex defence infrastructure programmes at scale, especially when timelines are fixed, scrutiny is high and the consequences of delay are significant. Key themes include: ✅ Why major defence programmes need a different operating model, not just more resource ✅ The capability gaps that commonly derail programme set-up, from business case clarity to procurement strategy and programme controls ✅ What to prioritise in the first 90 days, including stakeholder alignment, team capability assessment and a practical 12-month mobilisation plan ✅ How to deliver under political pressure with clear outcomes, disciplined governance and real-time performance reporting ✅ What strong leadership looks like across governance, commercial, engineering, project controls and baseline management ✅ What separates programmes that succeed from those that struggle, culture, set-up and delivery discipline working together If you’re planning a defence capital programme, scaling a programme management office (PMO) or strengthening programme governance, this piece offers a clear view of where to focus first.

  • Social value is increasingly part of the conversation around what good defence procurement looks like. But embedding it effectively across a complex organisation is another matter. Our work with the Ministry of Defence tackled exactly that challenge, bringing together consulting, sustainability, project management and digital expertise to help turn social value commitments into something practical and measurable. It shows how procurement can become a lever for wider impact. 💡Learn more: https://tur.town/4ebSrme #infrastructure #defence

  • Flexibility at work looks different for everyone. For Zheng Choo, it’s about having the autonomy to shape his day while delivering meaningful outcomes for clients. It’s not just the work itself that stands out, but the relationships - understanding client needs and seeing solutions come to life. Success in construction doesn't just look like technical expertise, but connecting, collaborating and creating with others.
