Driving strategic change at speed to realise benefits earlier requires clarity of vision, velocity and direction.
Programme Management is an adaptable framework aimed at realising benefit from large-scale, business-led, transformational or technological change. It is made up of precisely defined roles and clearly illustrated processes, supported by a toolkit and glossary.
Strategic change is complicated because of the interdependencies between the business environment, the organisation, its people, processes and supporting technologies. Any change in one aspect will affect one or more of the others. To succeed, organisations must address the whole strategic change in an integrated way.
Benefit
Programmes are planned and delivered faster, and value generated earlier, by people at every level who know what they should be doing at all times.
Features
Practitioners are provided with simple and effective guidelines at each step of the way to cahieve quality results.
Reporting environment gives management insight into the status of the entire programme to see both potential blockages to progress and threats to successful delivery.
Sponsors always know what to expect, and quickly becoming confident that they can fulfil their benefit realisation obligations.
The framework incorporates all the knowledge and practical experience we have gained on 2,000 significant programmes and projects over 25 years.
Precisely defined roles:
Powerful set of integrated tools
Each tool is single function, simple design and consistent format.
Tools complement each other and avoid unnecessary duplication of information. They are constructed using MS Office products and therefore easy to add to or tailor to specific needs. Tools are provided as Microsoft files via the client's intranet or a Verdandi Web server.
Practitioners can select and apply them according to programme size and complexity, and the organisation's control requirements.
Learning
Foundation training courses are targeted at the learning needs of people in different programme and project roles:
For people wishing to develop their capability beyond foundation training there are learning opportunities aimed at personal development:
The framework can be used for a single programme or as part of a business-wide approach to change management including Strategy Acceleration, Value Management, Resource Management and Project Management.
It is suited to both a 'project community' or 'delivery practice' change environment and can be branded with your corporate image, tailored to your specific needs or interfaced with your current delivery framework.
