In prior decades, your company's Strategic Plan would likely define a 3- to 5-year roadmap with milestone objectives detailed for the journey ahead.
Nowadays, strategies are continuously evolving directions of travel that morph and adapt to challenges, threats, needs, opportunities and in-sector competition.
We'd surmise that you're likely visiting us today because you're not entirely happy with how an existing project is evolving or, perhaps, how a previous one was
delivered. Why do we say that? Because we've been there!
If your business is currently partnered with one of the large consultancies, you probably feel - more often than is comfortable - as though you've lost a worthwhile degree of meaningful
control. It's as if the tail is wagging the dog, to use a colloquialism and, as such, your business and its critical change programme has become just another number in the scheme
of things.
or
If you have partnered with a more focused company - one which is a proficient subject matter expert in your sector - then there's a good chance you're thinking that they are clearly an authority
in their field but do appear to be struggling to effect necessary change and manage the implementation itself.
These are both common enough narratives; but why do we feel confident enough to say this?
As we said previously: we've been there too!

Near-constant change is an unavoidable imperative for any successful business. Ergo, a company which organises its projects into programmes of work - using an appropriate programme
management methodology, employing healthy governance and coupled to professional project management - is more likely to see its projects succeed and, ergo, their business thrive.
Projects deliver outputs and programmes deliver outcomes - it's that simple.
"Change before you have to."
— Jack Welch
