Outcomes

The Reveal project successfully delivered on its core objectives. Key technical outcomes included the implementation of a secure site-to-site VPN and a seamless integration with the testing partner, both of which were foundational to enabling secure and efficient data exchange. These achievements validated the project’s architectural design and 
demonstrated its readiness for operational deployment. The project also maintained strong alignment with its original scope, requiring only minimal adjustments, and was delivered on time with stakeholder confidence intact. Beyond the technical milestones, the project fostered a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement. The team remained open to feedback throughout, refining deliverables and enhancing engagement with NESO’s operational teams. This approach not only strengthened the quality of the final outputs but also surfaced valuable insights for future innovation initiatives. The Reveal project stands as a strong example of how structured delivery, adaptive thinking, and stakeholder alignment can combine to produce impactful and scalable outcomes. 

This is addition to the previous outcomes as documented in the previous 2024 REVEAL progress report.

Summary of earlier outcomes: 

• Key problem statements were identified which REVEAL can address, linked to wider energy sector challenges, which positions the project as an impactful initiative. 
• Key vision and purpose statements were synthesized with stakeholders to ensure the project is grounded in the collective input and aspirations of those involved, enhancing its credibility. 
• Additional ‘Trials Conditions and Scenarios’ module designed as part of the Live Trial Environment to bring further value in later development iterations. 
• NESO and industry stakeholders bought in to core solutions and understand the benefits of REVEAL, further enabling proposed developments to go forward. 

Lessons Learnt

One of the key lessons learnt from the Reveal project is the value of maintaining a flexible and responsive delivery approach, even when the core plan remains largely unchanged. The team’s openness to feedback and commitment to continuous improvement enabled them to refine deliverables, enhance stakeholder engagement, and adapt to evolving operational insights without deviating significantly from the original scope. This experience highlights the importance of embedding agility into project governance structures, ensuring that future projects can accommodate iterative learning, stakeholder collaboration, and emerging opportunities—ultimately leading to more resilient and impactful outcomes.
