What We Do
—
Programme Management
We offer a robust programme management service that we can align to your existing operations to give you professional and practical support. Our programme management approach is based on designing the right kind of programme architecture for your needs, leading and coordinating any portfolios that need to sit within the programme, establishing and managing projects and work streams focused on the delivery of programme goals, working effectively with stakeholders, partners and subject matter experts, managing programme resource needs and ensuring mitigation, appropriate escalation and resolution of risks. We reliably deliver programme objectives on time, on budget, to a high standard and with successful and measured outcomes.
Formulation and Theming
Before embarking on any assignment, we ensure that we have carefully understood and finalised the brief with the client. We support the client to clearly formulate the things that they want to accomplish, which includes the hard deliverables of the project alongside any softer system benefits that can also be achieved. We give an objective and reflective view of relevant issues, enabling the client to take the most effective strategic approach to any situation. Where a client is unclear about next steps we can support them to reach a clear direction by undertaking thematic reviews, benchmarking comparisons, options appraisals and benefits assessments.
System Alignment
Knowing that system changes are a constant in many organisations, we can offer support with establishing collaborative plans and approaches to enable success in new jurisdictional boundaries or new footprints for programme work. We are experienced in working on projects requiring a strong focus on integration and inter agency co-operation. We use a range of models and skills to support the achievement of aligned working and we are successful, even in very complex arrangements of organisational layers. We are extremely resilient in working with the variety of issues that aiming for system alignment generates. We can provide an approach that offers the right level of assurance, pace and transparency that is required to keep stakeholders on board and together.
Stakeholder Engagement
We specialise in galvanising and mobilising stakeholders and partners around co-produced and shared solutions that are identified and recommended after careful consideration with the client. We build and link partnerships and our approach is based on creativity and integrity. We are experienced in working with patients, customers and end users, clinicians, practitioners, experts, private, public and voluntary sector organisations, as well as regulators, leaders, the media and elected members. We can facilitate stakeholder events, design and deliver focus groups and workshops, conduct surveys and interviews, thematically analyse feedback and present collated findings from engagement processes.
Leader Effectiveness
We focus on providing meaningful insight and regular feedback to our clients, such that they are well sighted on all the near and far constraints and opportunities, relevant to the assignment. Where helpful, we offer feedback pertaining to the client’s own role as part of a total value add for a programme of work. We can support clients to align effective people to organisational objectives and resources to ensure deliverables are successfully achieved and to increase performance from teams and individuals. We work with a range of experienced and skilled professionals who provide diagnostics, assessments, coaching, mentoring and orgnaisational development diagnostics, skills assessmentm, support around change, systems, achieving high performance and overcoming blocks.
Transformation into Delivery
We are dedicated to ensuring that transformation is achieved through successful delivery. We can offer an end to end solution from strategy design to action planning and we can support clients who want to focus on any particular part of their transformation goals change. We can develop a strategy from the beginning by using a tried and tested 6 step approach: external environmental assessment, internal situational review, vision and goal setting, issue identification, options assessment and best fit recommendations. We can also support clients by enabling the translation of strategy to delivery and mobilisation.
