Investment in transformation can be significant. To deliver a sustainable step-change in output for your organisation, your teams need the right capabilities, processes and toolsets to achieve the right results.
We believe that building this organisational capability is an integral part of the change and that it’s vital to transfer the skills, knowledge and ability you need to maintain new ways of working as part of the change programme. We help make your resources more efficient and effective to ensure you gain the maximum value from your investment while delivering within performance, cost, and time constraints, thereby helping you build your long-term business transformation capability.
We will help you plan and manage a programme of change to deliver the desired outcomes, embed new capabilities into your business and help you achieve benefits through independent advice, skills transfer and assurance.
We help you understand where your organisation currently is, where it needs to be and how to get it there. We’ll work with you to outline the business architecture, define controls and governance, stakeholder engagement and communications plans, benefits identification, investment appraisal and cost analysis.
We work alongside you to mentor, support and develop your team to ensure that your business has the skills it needs to deliver successfully. We can provide the tools, techniques, and analysis to ensure that the change you deploy is sustainably embedded across your organisation. We can also help develop your change team and transfer the skills they will need to conduct future change as efficiently as possible.
We can also help establish a change programme framework including controls, planning, risk, issue and dependency management, benefits profiling and realisation, quality management, performance analysis and reporting.
To optimise management information and programme delivery, we can also help design and operate Programme Management Office services.
We assess standards and control framework compliance to develop and implement skills, governance, risk and schedule management and budgetary control improvement plans, providing confidence in delivering programme benefits.
In today’s uncertain world, organisations can only survive if they can adapt, respond to external threats and quickly exploit emerging opportunities.
We help you integrate and deliver that change by managing your Portfolios, Programmes and Projects, and by realising the value of each. In doing so, we help you make decisions that focus your resources on delivering the most significant benefits.
But we aren’t “just” experienced advisors...we look beyond the big picture and partner with you to deliver projects too, transferring the skills and knowledge you need to deliver sustainable change.
We take a flexible and pragmatic approach, tailoring best practices to your specific needs, working culture and operating model.
By using disciplined approaches to planning and change control and improved reporting and accountability, we work together with you to maximise your programme or project’s chance of achieving its performance, cost, and timescale objectives.
Whether you’re beginning a new initiative on the best basis, supplementing your existing delivery initiatives, or optimising delivery to increase successful outcomes, we have the skills and experience to help you.
We offer a range of P3 management and controls, including:
Additionally, our assurance and assessment services include:

One of the most significant pressures on defence programme delivery is that of timescales and iterations: time vs tempo. In this paper, we explore answers to questions around programme viability, how we can adapt our programme models, behaviours and approaches and how to respond to tensions around time vs tempo successfully.
A variety of tensions exist in a project or programme, all of which affect how outputs and outcomes are delivered. One of these tensions is between Rigour and Tempo. In our latest whitepaper, we review some of the underlying issues and explore examples of approaches that can be used to address challenges, drawing on lessons from existing programmes.
