Services

JPLD have unparalleled insight into the many different routes into rail. We specialise in being able to see the links between opportunities and can shape and align your business opportunities to match the needs of the client. We will coach you to develop your understanding of the market, its structure, culture and ways of working to empower your business and then work with you to find the right points of entry, people and contracts that are right for you 

The culture of the rail industry at both the macro and micro level can be frustrating and there are myriad reasons why new products, services and ways of working get delayed. JPLD have broad and deep experience of identifying and successfully unblocking issues preventing innovative products and services from being deployed. We have detailed knowledge of the underpinning processes and also the reasons why things get delayed. We can get you moving again. 

We can assist clients with all aspects of rail business development, from identifying saleable commodities and aligning them to rail markets, defining the service offering and value proposition and developing plans to link product and service to people. We can work with you across the whole lifecycle from inception to end of life, also assisting in reinvigorating stalled product sales. We can assist you in building a solid rail pipeline and work with you to deliver it in full.

We have a formal and structured methodology for rail strategy development that takes the client along the full journey from creating a vision to organising for change. This can be delivered in bitesized segments to enable the pace of change to suit you. Alternatively we can simply provide mentorship and input into your own strategy development to ensure you align with client and rail market needs.

Transformation, change and innovation is our passion and core to everything we do - whether digital, process, project, product or business related. We will work with you across the whole business lifecycle to identify opportunities for change and innovation and put practical plans in place to execute. We have extensive knowledge of other industries and domains and are experience in technology and process transfer from other industries into rail.

We are specialists in rail product, system and service development, particularly in the safety critical, signalling, digital and remote condition monitoring domain. We can identify and engage sponsors, deliver product acceptance services, troubleshoot slow approvals and develop novel or standard safety cases. We are experts across the whole development and product lifecycle and will work with you to ensure you extract maximum value and sales potential from across the product lifecycle.

A successful delivery requires the right delivery vehicle. Strategy, change, innovation, product and service development in a fast-moving business requires agile and responsive project management processes to ensure success. Standard techniques were not developed to implement change and improvement in a small, living organisation. JPL:D develop novel management methods to ensure successful, effective and fast delivery every time for your transformation, change, development, digital or troubleshooting project .

The rail industry and its culture is very bespoke and needs to be thoroughly understood if you are to successfully operate within it. Understanding and being able to manage risk when entering new rail markets, changing your service or product portfolio or entering into a new venture is critical to ensuring success. Whether it is analysing contracts, processes or the business landscape JPL:D can assist in identifying risk, developing management strategies and deriving maximum opportunity from any opportunity being considered.
