“In order to deliver the transformed services and value for money that communities want, councils will have to challenge traditional methods of delivery”   

[Local Government White Paper]

The current rate and extent of change in local government means that there are unprecedented pressures to manage multiple, complex and inter-connecting projects.

Whether driven through external imperatives, due to social change, compliance issues or political will, or proactively developing strategic vision, success of significant change is enhanced through integration at a programme / management board level.  The extent of these changes usually impact across an organization in terms of new processes, organization, roles & responsibilities, core competencies and behaviours.  Management of organizational risk and delivery of benefits take on new meaning where projects and initiatives compete for resources, skills and management attention. The ability of the Programme Manager to cycle through strategic issues, impacts on key stakeholders and detailed project activities both real and potential, is key to delivery and keeping senior managers informed and aware of status is key to effective decision making and programme success.
