Portfolio Management

The Portfolio Management practice works within your budget, resource and time constraints to maximise the benefits that your IT projects deliver to your business.

The challenge for IT executives is to deliver maximum value to their business with limited budget and resources. We specialise in re-prioritising and aligning your portfolio of programmes and projects with business needs, and in ensuring the successful delivery of the individual projects themselves.

Below are the services that we offer to assist clients with the delivery of their portfolio:

Portfolio Management

To maximise business benefit it is essential to ensure that your IT project portfolio is aligned to the strategic objectives of your business. We deliver a structured assessment of your existing portfolio against business drivers in order to prioritise your projects and ensure investment is channelled to those areas of greatest benefit.

Project Services Office

Delivery of successful programmes and projects requires a controlled environment with repeatable processes, standardised templates and trained project managers. We can assist with implementing a Project Services Office for your IT organisation to control the initiation, execution and review of programmes and projects.

Project Rescue

In a complex environment of changing business requirements and project staff, delivery of projects can become extremely challenging. We assist by independently assessing the status of a project against the original or updated objectives and make recommendations on how to re-scope the project for successful delivery. We can take ownership for delivering the re-scoped project, or provide background support for client delivery.

Organisational Change Management

Delivering programmes and projects of work introduces change to an organisation, such as a new technical standards or a new organisational structure. Such change may lead to resistance or uncertainty from staff. We can assist with smoothly transitioning your teams into new ways of working so that the barriers to adopting change are removed.

Project and Programme Delivery

With rapidly changing business environments organisations frequently find that they do not have sufficient resources or experience to deliver all IT programmes and projects in their portfolio. We assist with a range of activities, from delivering end to end programmes to supplying experienced project managers to lead client teams.
