• Compliance - programmes aimed at achieving compliance with legislation or policy.
• Strategic - deliver a clearly defined vision that realises strategic opportunities and may change the operating model.
• Emergent - evolve to respond to situations or events that are often beyond the organisation's immediate control. In IDI we have a friendly and welcoming team environment and put a strong emphasis on learning and continuously improving. In a broader context, IDI sits within the Technical Authority (TA) function, under its Chief Technology Officer. TA provides Network Rail with technical expertise, including competence and assurance regimes, in various disciplines including engineering, health and safety, security, environment and sustainability, and technology on the railway.
