Programmes can run behind schedule, over budget, or entirely fail to the deliver the expected outcomes. We use a forensic approach to uncover the issues.

 

 

WE OWN PROBLEMS. WE SOLVE PROBLEMS

 

KEY DANGER SIGNALS

• The programme seems green. Activity doesn’t align with expected progress. Real results are hard to find.
• Progress reports lack true clarity with items continually deferred.
• Expenditure is unpredictable, schedules keep changing, with the critical path delaying other work.
• Risks and issues are a surprise and not effectively addressed.
• Key project staff avoid the serious discussions around progress.
• Things intrinsically don’t feel right.

 

HOW WE SET THINGS STRAIGHT

We focus on four key steps to solve the issues:

• Review: We meticulously review programme plans, reports, artefacts and intended outcomes.
• Identify options: Following the review and conversations with key stakeholders, we prepare response options to recover the project based on four categories: Restart, Recover, Re-Scope or Retire.
• Planning: Once a response is determined we develop a comprehensive approach to transition to the plan, implement the recommendations and work to safely move the programme to a stable state.
• Finish: We complete the work, either in close down or once outcomes are achieved. We leave it in the hands of our clients and offer governance support if requested.
