Programme Management

We are proven deliverers - ranging from small change projects to multi-national programmes of a highly complex nature. Our pragmatic and flexible ways of working are backed by a rigorous and risk-based approach to governance that ensures our programmes are always in tune with our clients' Sarbanes Oxley programmes or other regulatory requirements.

Project and Programme Delivery

We pride ourselves in our ability to deliver complex change programmes to time and budget. We are fully conversant with major project management methodologies such as Prince2; DSDM and Goal Directed Project Management. But methods are only part of the story. We are experienced at managing the often complex relationships between internal departments and multiple external suppliers to ensure that all contributors understand their role and can share in success.

We thrive in situations where delivery requires the building of internal consensus and the successful management of third parties as well as in-house teams. There is no substitute in situations like this, for experience. Real, hands-on, been-there-done-that; experience.

Project appraisal and selection

Successful programme management starts with an effective means of prioritising competing project propositions against available resources. Achieving the best mix isn't always straightforward, and important cross-project dependencies can be missed unless new projects are also assessed against the existing portfolio. We provide assistance with project appraisal to ensure that the overall mix of projects is manageable, and their contribution to improved business performance is clear.

Business and Technical Analysis

It's surprising how many organisations commence programmes of change without really defining their requirements. We can provide extensive business analysis skills to help organisations define their requirements and use the outcomes to suggest alternative ways of achieving the objective. Equally, we can undertake detailed technical analysis, including data quality and migration.

Vendor Selection

We are completely independent of any software vendor and can provide an independent interface between the client and possible software suppliers. We cut through the sales talk and get to the heart of a solution's functionality.

Business Cases and Benefit Management

If required, we can support clients in developing business cases and project financial appraisals. We can also develop frameworks for tracking benefit realisation, and work with organisations to establish sensitivities around benefit delivery.

When it comes to Programme Management, it's the quality of the team on the ground that matters, not the size of the company behind them. We pride ourselves in offering teams of exceptional individuals who put the client's interests first.
