The Challenge You Face

You need robust programme management, but you're not sure whether to build an internal PMO, hire contractors, or engage a consultancy. Budget is tight, the programme is urgent, and you need capability that outlasts the programme itself.

You're experiencing:

  • Lack of programme discipline - No consistent approach to planning, reporting, or risk management
  • Resource constraints - Can't justify permanent PMO staff for temporary programme
  • Skills gaps - Internal team lacks experience in complex transformation delivery
  • Vendor dependency risk - Don't want to be locked into a single supplier
  • Inconsistent governance - Leadership doesn't have confidence in programme reporting
  • Knowledge loss - When consultants leave, programme knowledge disappears

You need flexible PMO capability that delivers now and builds internal strength for the future.

How We Deliver

We work with your team, not for them:

  1. Needs Assessment - Understand your programme requirements and capability gaps
  2. Mode Selection - Agree the right PMO service mode for your context
  3. Setup Phase - Establish governance, tools, processes, and team structure
  4. Delivery Phase - Operate the PMO while building internal capability
  5. Knowledge Transfer - Document processes, train your team, embed good practice
  6. Handover - Transition to internal operation with ongoing support available

We use your tools and processes where possible, not force you onto ours. The goal is sustainability, not dependency.

  • DESIGN - Manage design phase coordination and decision-making
  • PREPARE - Plan detailed implementation

  • Process - Programme methodology, planning, and control processes
  • Technology - PMO tools, reporting dashboards, and collaboration platforms

Leaving a Legacy

When we exit, your organization will have:

  • Experienced internal PMO team capable of running future programmes

  • Embedded governance with leadership confidence in reporting
  • Programme knowledge base for lessons learned and best practice
  • Sustainable PMO capability that doesn't depend on consultants

We measure success by your ability to deliver the next programme without us.
