Who we are

Reporting that informs decisions, not just exists.

Evo8 is an independent consultancy supporting organisations across transformation, governance, planning and programme delivery, through clear reporting, effective coordination and delivery focused support.

Founded in 2019 and led by director Saqib Chowdhree, Evo8 brings over twenty years of experience delivering and controlling programmes across rail, transport infrastructure, central government, telecoms and digital. Most recent work includes chairing the change control board for the London Underground Renewals sub-programme at Transport for London.

We land quickly, work out which stakeholders matter, and build the reporting and governance that helps teams make decisions with confidence.

What we do

Services

Hands on support that sits inside the client team, from running the change board to building the tools the whole programme reports from.

Change control

Chairing change control boards and managing change requests and early warning notices from raise through impact assessment to formal decision and audit record.

Governance and stage gates

Stage gate administration and governance assurance: tracking gate readiness, supporting evidence and approvals so decisions reach the right people on time.

Period performance and finance reporting

Period reporting packs that bring schedule, risk, cost and efficiency into one decision ready view, reconciled against approved change.

PMO setup and reporting tools

SharePoint sites, Power BI dashboards, programme trackers and Jira and Confluence rollouts that give the programme a single source of truth.

Infrastructure project delivery

Project management on rail and construction workstreams, including the London Euston electrical substation on HS2 Phase 1.

Digital and software delivery

Agile and Scrum delivery of digital programmes, release pipelines for web and mobile, and platform rollouts across the UK and Europe.

Know what is actually happening on your programme, not three periods too late.

Change control, stage gate assurance and period reporting that keep leadership ahead of the programme rather than behind it.
