Portfolio and Programme Management (PPM)

Manage the programme or project by setting the tone and pace to point the initiative in the right direction from the outset. Establishing an appropriate management organisation that allows the level of control suitable to the complexity of your programme. Plus granting the insight you need to take decisions and ensure the programme or project remains aligned with the strategic priorities. 

Deliver the programme using agile and traditional methodology to allow you to thrive in a world of disruption. We work together to rapidly create customer value through sustainable new ways of working.

We help you design, implement and operate hybrid delivery models: sourcing models that use a tailored blend of on-shore, near-shore and off-shore resources to deliver high-quality outputs at reduced cost and risks. This delivery approach entails working with you to build trust and new ways of working, deliver value at speed and recognise that people and collaboration are critical to success. It also means taking an iterative approach allowing flexibility and agility in the way your leadership delivers.

Recover the programme by identifying alternative project approaches and strategies. If things get off course, this can place a project firmly back on track and salvage current and future investment. It’s all about applying a methodical approach to improve the programme’s longer-term prospects.

Assure that the programme or project is on target. By taking a systematic approach we can help you avoid pitfalls and maximise the transformational benefits. Regular risk-based reviews and action controlling will help you get your programme on the right track. You’ll receive best practice recommendations and concrete, experience-based implementation plans to work with.

Align the portfolio, enabling strategic decisions based on a balance of long-term strategies and short-term imperatives, agile governance and a series of adaptable processes, tools and techniques. The purpose is to optimise investment and project selection decisions and other strategic activity required to achieve strategic objectives. 

Assess and optimise the portfolio or programme to ensure success. We run a programme maturity assessment (PMA) to evaluate the delivery capability of your portfolio or programme and create actionable recommendations specific to the business context. This involves using PwC’s 12 elements of delivery excellence to assess the maturity and effectiveness of your organisation’s programme management, governance, delivery and controls. On this basis we can recommend actions recommended to enhance the likelihood of success.
