Our task
Working in collaboration with Willmott Dixon, Tribus set out to create an industry-leading digital platform that could transform the management of environmental risks on projects. Unlocking custom capabilities and possibilities that third-party products simply couldn’t provide, the Mi Risk platform would enable the business to work more effectively and efficiently in an area of significant importance.
Our approach
By challenging the limitations of existing market solutions and truly understanding Willmott Dixon’s core requirements, Tribus set out to reimagine risk management and create a customised digital platform for the company.
We used our unique discovery process to assess Willmott Dixon’s incumbent system and analyse its capabilities against specific compliance needs. From here, we created a development strategy and a requirements specification to meet the immediate and future needs of the business. Working closely with the client, we defined what Mi Risk needed to achieve, how it should function, and how it would best integrate within the business.
Once the strategy and designs were finalised, our Software and Product Engineering team progressed the development. During this time, we conducted weekly calls with Willmott Dixon to align plans with any business updates.
The Mi Risk platform launched at Willmott Dixon and continues to support the business with a range of functions. Of course, its primary purpose is to help Willmott Dixon adhere to ISO 14001 (standards that all construction companies need to meet). But by digitising Willmott Dixon’s working policies and practices, it also improves communication between regions, shares best practice nationally, and captures evidence of compliance for any external auditing purposes.
In addition, Tribus built a content management system (CMS) for Mi Risk that enables rapid adaptation and effective management, ensuring the platform is always up to date with the latest legal guidance and evidential requirements. It delivers real-time risk profiling to track risks from project launch, measures current risk based on completed mitigating actions, and defines a residual risk target to work towards. This essential information helps Willmott Dixon meet industry standards, deliver more efficient projects, and consolidate risk management procedures all in one place.
On a business level, Mi Risk also supports Willmott Dixon’s wider digital strategy and goals.
Working as part of the company’s larger suite of digital products, Mi Risk captures and shares data across Willmott Dixon’s full suite of proprietary business reporting applications. This provides valuable insight for improved decision-making and helps the business work more efficiently.
