Building capability and embedding your project or programme management methodology to target resources and gain cost benefits.
Develop your staff so that they have the capability to deliver effective projects and programmes.
We help organisations ensure that you and your staff have the right skills to meet strategic and tactical challenges. You may wish to address your whole approach to project or programme management or you may want assistance on a specific initiative. Our services are designed to help you to maximize resources in projects and therefore return on investment.
Building Capability within your staff helps them to deliver their projects and programmes on time and to budget. We help organisations develop their project, programme, risk and change methods to increase their effectiveness. Many organisations find that they need a bespoke method that is tailored to their own organisational needs. Once agreed it is important that this method is embedded so that staff are using it on a day to day basis.
Embedding a method requires tailored training solutions where the staff learn the new method, this may include workshops for staff to work through possible barriers and then find suitable solutions. This also contributes to your programme and project managers’ personal development. You may have chosen standard recognised method such as PRINCE2®, MSP®, M_o_R™ and Change Management™ in which case your employees can obtain an accredited qualification.
Projects and programmes often come up against difficult situations. When you are looking to maximise resources in projects or programmes tailored solutions help your staff to be equipped with all the necessary tools. By using the project managers competency framework to measure capability it is then possible to develop areas highlighted with startup support, guidance, coaching, mentoring and assurance. We offer the Running Your Project service to help project and programmes start on track and keep on track.
Project Management ›
Use a recognised methodology to run your projects smoothly and to give senior staff an overview of progress against cost, time and quality goals.
Project Management is the running of a set of activities to meet a measurable set of goals within cost, time and quality margins. For example if you are targeted to bring a new IT development online, a construction project or an administration process change into action you are running a project.
As a recognised profession Project Management is well respected and now many members of staff have a project management element in their role. This is the part of their job where they are pushing ahead with a new change and they now need project management competency.
Project Managers need to be able to plan and then control their projects, this is helped by the use of a standard method which can be implemented across a department or organisation. These staff needs skills in portfolio management, building a business case and investment appraisal, project sponsorship, benefits management, stakeholder management, scheduling, earned value management, project finance, procurement, marketing and sales, project life cycles, hand over and close out.
Using a methodology across your organisation has the advantage that senior staff are fully informed of progress and can control the use of resources. All stakeholders can communicate in a shared terminology so that everyone involved in your project will understand how they need to act to make it successful.

Programme Management ›
Programme Management, Management of Risk and Change Management are all essential tools for making informed strategic business decisions.
MSP™ Programme Management
A business programme brings change to the organisation, usually on a large scale at strategic level. You may find that your role includes Programme Management if you are working across several areas of your business to achieve long term goals. These programmes often need change in IT, finance, facilities and human resources input along side skills from business specific departments.
In the business environment these programmes deliver a wide ranging change for example installing a new IT system, a staffing realignment, entering into new markets or transformational change to traditional working practices to deliver real cost benefits.
M_o_R® Risk Management
Management of Risk involves assessing the business context and objectives of the organisation in order to consider the possible risks.
Risk Managers, operations managers, operations directors, senior consultants, project managers and programme managers all find judging business risk is an important part of their role.
Business Risk affects all organisations, build it into your processes so you can make informed business decisions. You can be confident that you will be prepared to deal with any difficulties. You will also be well placed to use unexpected developments to your advantage.
Change Management™
You have set out your strategic goals, now use Change Management to give your staff the help they need to change their working practices in order to achieve those goals.
Times of dramatic change can be high risk, but changes can be implemented and embedded smoothly by using a tried and tested method.
Changes may be perfectly planned but to make a change stick it is necessary to ensure that staff adapt what they do day-to-day in order to see good return on investment from your new initiatives.
