Advisory
Advisory. Whether you’re about to undertake a transformation critical to your entire business, or whether you’re unsure how to optimise your portfolio, or maybe you just need assistance in how to define your benefits, we are there for you.
We have assisted numerous senior executives to deliver successfully - often leaders of immense experience in their chosen fields, who have been “handed” a critical change initiative to lead (having never done it before). We know what good looks like, and we can provide you with the insights required to stay ahead of the game.
Executive Support and Coaching
Portfolio’s, Program and Projects are delivered to bring about change, new products or transformational new ways of working. Sometimes, these initiatives occur in a range of organisational environments with varied levels of complexity. Our experienced consultants have the background and depth to guide and support you through the complexity, supporting your transformation journey.
We can provide Accountable Officer’s / Senior - Responsible Owner’s support and coaching that helps to navigate complexity, assisting you to ask the right delivery questions that drives confidence that the things you are accountable for are on track.
Critical Friend
Programs and projects move at an ever increasing pace, with the associated expectation of producing more with less. The pressure to deliver successfully never goes away, so having someone in your corner to help you navigate your way can make all the difference. We have many years of experience in delivery, and know first-hand the challenges you’re facing.
We can work with you in a safe environment to provide you with different perspectives and insights to refine your thinking. Regardless of what role you’re in, everyone can benefit from a critical friend. Whether it is to battle-test a strategic approach or simply white-board an idea, or anything in-between, as your Critical Friend, we will be there when you need us.
P3M Governance
Fit for purpose Governance is a key delivery success factor. Delivery clarity increases when the right Governance structure exists to support your Portfolio, Program or Project. When Governance is working effectively, clearly defined roles, responsibilities and accountability exist, supporting the flow of the right information at the right time to the right people - enhancing overall delivery certainty.
Our team have deep experience across a wide range of industries and project types. While we adhere to industry better practices, we have the knowledge and know-how to embed fit for purpose governance to support your initiatives.
Portfolio Management / Optimisation
There are often more candidate projects vying for inclusion into a Portfolio than there is budget, resource or risk capacity. Prioritising projects across a Portfolio is challenging. We provide Portfolio Optimisation know-how, with experience across Capital Infrastructure, Business and IT project portfolios.
We can help and guide the facilitation, and running of an optimised Portfolio that takes into account various factors including business strategy, benefits, resources, funding and hard constraints such as delivery and go to market time frames.
PMO Optimisation / Rationalisation
PMO’s (including EPMO’s) can play a critical role in project and program success, however often they are perceived to be a roadblock to the very success they are there to support. Often the perception is accurate, and the PMO simply is meeting organisational expectations. Consequently PMO’s often get de-funded and projects are left to fend for themselves. We can very quickly assess the situation and provide the right information and guidance to transform an under-performing PMO to one that adds value to your projects.
Strategy
You have the vision, but the roadmap to get there is not quite so clear. Its a common albeit all-too-often over-looked, scenario that can be costly if you progress down the wrong path.
We have delivered, assured, and advised on many complex transformational change initiatives, and we have learned many lessons over the years. We can assist you and your team to make appropriate considerations. We can help you cut through the ambiguity and uncertainty to focus on the things that matter.
