Programme Management

Risk management is vital for your programme’s success because it lets you spot, understand, and address potential problems before they disrupt your plans. Risk Management is all about proactive problem solving and informed decision making.

Independent oversight gives you a helpful outside perspective, offering a fresh set of eyes that aren’t caught up in day-to-day routines or internal pressures. These independent reviewers are great at asking the right questions and challenging the usual ways of doing things, so they can spot potential issues or risks that might get missed or be hard for your team to raise on their own.

Implementing a PMO with precision demands the expertise of a seasoned PMO consultant. Begin by assessing your organisation’s unique needs and objectives, then engage in tailored PMO consulting sessions. Our adept PMO consultants at Nine Feet Tall guide you through the process, ensuring seamless integration with your existing teams. They bring a wealth of experience to help you implement best practices, driving project excellence and organisational efficiency. With our collaborative approach, setting up a PMO becomes a strategic endeavour, designed to align with your business goals.

Enlisting the help of a PMO can provide you with…
• A Birds Eye view of your project – lots of eyes, everywhere
• Ongoing risk assessment that works faster and better
• A clearer understanding of your project’s timescales and budgets
• Ability to manage prioritisation and sequencing
• Optimise resources
• Long-term tracking and monitoring of progress and success
• Reduced pressure, stress, and responsibility on your shoulders
• A better grasp of project management overall
• A much higher chance of your projects being successful

In their offer of support in the initial construction and delivery of a project, as well as during the ongoing tracking and monitoring of the project’s progress, a PMO can oversee projects from start to finish. This allows for quicker identifications of any risks, whilst at the same time granting you a clearer understanding of project timescales and budgets.
Combine all these things and you have a much greater scope of overall project control. Plus, having a specialist PMO team means less pressure on you, and a much higher chance of your project being successful.

A PMO, or Project Management Office, does exactly what it says on the tin: it provides your business with the support you need to deliver your projects quickly and efficiently, adhering to set procedures to deliver a predetermined amount of work within agreed timescales and costs. 

Nine Feet Tall have a tailor made health check which will provide a quick assessment on your programme’s health and identify areas for improvement. It involves a critical assessment of whether you are on track to deliver maximum benefits and a detailed evaluation of how your project costs, benefits, communications, reporting, risks, planning, resourcing, and governance are being managed.

Did you know only 52%* of organisations deliver projects that satisfy their stakeholders? Delivering a large, complex programme of change is tricky, risky and never just about I.T. There are always significant wider business implications and considerations.  

At Nine Feet Tall, we offer a multi-sector, pragmatic and people-focused approach that will help you to implement the changes you need to manage projects and programmes efficiently and successfully. You’ll discover how to implement programmes of change that deliver on their outcomes, not just in the short term but for years to come.

A programme of change is the long term, adjustable organisational system in which short term, rigid projects function. Where projects work towards smaller, focused outputs, programmes use these projects as steppingstones to progress and adapt towards the ever-changing bigger picture.
