Across all sectors, programme and project management is widely recognised as vital for delivering effective business change. From implementing strategic initiatives through to developing innovative services and products, organisations are investing significant amounts of time and resource in programmes and projects.
When done well, programmes and projects enable organisations to exploit market change in a controlled way, gaining competitive advantage and minimising operational risk. However, while the disciplines of programme and project management have matured to the point of necessity, failure rates consistently tell a different story. Time and again, reliance on traditional methodologies, tools and techniques fails to meet the expectations of today’s business leaders.
