Programme Management Solutions

Right Information, Right Time, Right People - enabling effective delivery of complex change.

Programme Management

 

The challenge

Against a backdrop of constrained funding and increasing demand, health and care organisations and systems must change and evolve to be fit for the future.

In-house resource capacity with the newly required capabilities is in short supply and the successful delivery of transformational change requires coordination and hands-on support as well as dedicated leadership.

Traditional Programme Management Offices (PMOs) can be bureaucratic, inflexible and obstructive, seen as adding unnecessary barriers and slowing progress rather than enabling smooth and efficient programme delivery.

 

Our solution

We support health and care systems with bespoke, simple programme management solutions.

Rather than enforcing dogmatic processes that add no value, our people will work with you to define a tailored PMO offer, and will provide whatever depth and breadth of support is necessary to achieve your transformational strategy.

Programme Management SolutionsThis includes:

Skilled people - Our team of experienced practitioners are able to supplement in-house resource, ensuring that you have access to the skills required to deliver.

Access to effective systems and processes - Whether your programme is in need of professional advice and guidance, or a fully managed PMO system, we have the tools, techniques and templates you require.

Governance and reporting - Once we have gained an understanding of your programme stakeholders, delivery milestones and sign off points, we will ensure that information is available to the right people in the right format, at the right time.

Risk and issue management - We will embed proven risk and issue management techniques, ensuring that mitigations are owned, and that your programme avoids unnecessary disruption.

Benefits realisation - We will support you to define, track and realise tangible programme benefits, enabling you to demonstrate the success of your new care model and ultimately achieve its desired outcomes.
