Transformation programmes don't fail because the plan was wrong.
They fail because nobody was running them properly.
Complex programmes need more than a project plan. They need governance, rigour, senior oversight, and someone who stays close enough to the work to catch problems before they become crises.
Whether you're starting a programme and need it set up properly from day one, or you're already in trouble and need a fast recovery, we have a product for both.
The problems we solve
Outcome-led. Pre-built Playbooks.
Every product is priced and scoped before any work begins. No surprises, no open-ended engagement, no invoice that grows without warning.
Programme Mobilisation
Sets up robust programme management for your transformation programme from scratch. Includes key accelerators from governance structures to RAID logs.
Once it's set up, your team can run it themselves or we can continue through Programme Execution.
No internal PMO capability to set one up properly
Starting a transformation with no formal structure in place
Past programmes struggled from lack of governance from day one
Multiple workstreams with nobody owning the overall plan
Leadership wants governance confidence before committing budget
Programme Execution
Provides ongoing programme management for the full duration of your transformation programme from running the governance, tracking progress or chairing the steering committee. It keeps the programme on schedule and on budget.
Follows naturally from Programme Mobilisation or can be bought standalone.
Programme director or senior PMO role is vacant or stretched
Governance stood up but nobody has capacity to run it week to week
Complex programme structure that needs experienced PMO
Programme management is seen as ticking boxes
Leadership wants ongoing independent assurance
30-Day PMO Recovery Sprint
A rapid intervention for a programme that's already in trouble, whether that's due to quality, timeline, resourcing or budget issues.
We quickly diagnose the root causes, agree the fixes, and implement them in a focused sprint to get the programme back on track. If that’s not realistic, we replan to a baseline that gives it a genuine restart.
Programme is behind schedule or over budget with no recovery plan
Leadership has lost confidence in the programme
Repeatedly missed milestones with no clear explanation why
Key resources have left or the team is stretched too thin
Board or investors want an independent view of what's happening
Our track record
PMO Set Up
A FTSE 250 company was running a large-scale change programme, but resources were stretched thin across too many projects, delaying the benefits as focus was spread too wide. We stood up a fast track PMO in 4 weeks to manage resourcing, issues, and plans, giving leadership one view of how change was progressing with benefits back on track.
Programme Management
A PE-backed company was running a £20m, end-to-end business transformation. We managed the programme closely, controlling scope, managing risk and issues to protect timings, and giving senior leadership weekly updates for visibility and confidence.
Programme Recovery
A PE-backed company had tried to enhance Salesforce twice, was 2 years behind plan, and the business was suffering severe change fatigue. We assessed the status, rebaselined the plan, then set up a methodology and structure to land the project in 6 months, and got it done.
Where Programme Management leads
Programme management rarely exists in isolation. Most programmes need the right change management alongside them to make sure the changes land with the people who have to live with them.
Change Management
If your programme needs structured adoption support to make the changes land
Finance Transformation
If the programme is delivering a finance transformation and you need finance expertise alongside the governance
Technology Optimisation
If the programme you're governing is a system implementation and you need the technology expertise alongside the delivery oversight
The 30-Day PMO Recovery Sprint is built for exactly this.
A rapid diagnosis, and the fixes implemented in four weeks.
