Delivery ran across four stages. First,\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun ContextualSpellingAndGrammarErrorV2Themed SCXW243244852 BCX0\">discovery<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW243244852 BCX0\">, meeting all hiring managers to gather market insights and confirm role requirements.

The result was a delivery team assembled at pace without the hiring managers losing time to administration.<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP Selected SCXW243833308 BCX0\" data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>How we would resource it<\/h4>\n<p><span class=\"TextRun SCXW239912117 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW239912117 BCX0\">Programs of this size do not fail for want of applicants; they struggle when resourcing is not planned against the delivery schedule.
