Successful programme delivery is essential for delivering organisational strategic objectives, despite this analyst firm Gartner report that an estimated 50-75% of programmes fail to meet their objectives, or deliver on time and on budget. In the midst of delivery those working directly within the programme are often too close to the work and can miss early warning signs of problems. As issues mount up, tensions often arise between departments and teams can become disconnected and despondent, putting the programme at risk of failure.

It has never been more important for business leaders have full visibility of the programmes they sponsor in order to understand the challenges they face and the critical risks to delivery, allowing them to make fully informed decisions and implement any required changes before major problems arise.

Based on our experience and subject matter expertise, our assessments can cover up to 15 major risk areas and include an assessment of over 100 common failure points. Our flexible approach based can be tailored to your requirements, assessments can cover all risk areas or focus on a particular area of concern. Our assessments can be conducted at any stage in the programme delivery life cycle.

We can also review multiple programmes across an organisation or portfolio to identify the risk profile and any areas of systemic risk, which can demonstrate thematic observations and lessons which can be applied across the organisation more widely.

To complete our assessments we will conduct a detailed analysis of programme processes and documentation and work with key programme stakeholders to identify any areas of risk.

As a result of our work you will receive:

• A bespoke report setting out key issues identified and the associated risks / potential impact to successful delivery; and
• A clear set of actions required to resolve any issues and reduce the risk of failure, for your programme team to take forward.
