Gateway reviews

A Gateway review gives a major project independent assurance at the decision points that carry the most risk. Ideas Advisory brings an accredited Gateway reviewer to Victorian Government projects, someone who helped design the process he now reviews against. If you need a Gateway review consultant who knows exactly what each gate is testing, Greg Gough has been an accredited review team member since 2008.

Greg Gough, Gateway reviewer

Greg has been an accredited Gateway review team member since 2008 and an accredited Investment Management Standard facilitator since 2007, and holds a Master of Business (Marketing) from Swinburne University of Technology. He works across investment logic mapping, Gateway review, policy development, strategic planning, investment decision-making, business analysis, and both agile and waterfall project delivery.

His experience suits the gates where the investment logic and the benefits are tested: Gate 1 (concept and feasibility), Gate 2 (business case) and Gate 6 (benefits evaluation). A business case heading for Gate 2 can be tested first through our business case review services.

Experience behind the review

Before founding Ideas Advisory, Greg spent more than a decade in senior Victorian Government roles across the Department of Treasury and Finance and the Department of Premier and Cabinet, including Senior Adviser, Strategist and Manager of the Investment Management Standard, Manager of the DataVic Access Policy, and Senior Adviser for the government's response to Infrastructure Victoria and for the My Victoria project. He helped design the Gateway Review process and the High Value High Risk guidelines, and developed many of the tools and processes behind the Victorian State Budget process and the investment lifecycle. He supported 11 Victorian State Budgets as a central agency employee, and has supported more since through Ideas Advisory.

He has trained thousands of public and private sector staff in the Victorian State Budget process, including the Investment Management Standard, Gateway review and the High Value High Risk guidelines. He has advised on Gateway review, benefit realisation, budget processes, and business case development and review across every Australian jurisdiction, international government delegations, major corporations, universities and local councils.
