How it works
These three core steps are usually followed by ‘deep dive’ reviews and coaching/partnering of your internal teams.
We can also support with co-sourced or outsourced support.
1
Agree focus & scope
First, we ensure we understand the challenges you're facing, and which questions you are looking for answers to.
2
Diagnose with data and tools
Applying our unique data and tools, an expert practitioner will work with you to address how to increase the project’s chances of success.
3
Deliver insights & reports
We create reports that give real insight into the current health of your programme, and recommendations you can action to maintain or improve it.
Our products and services
Our core products help identify causes of risk exposure and how to address them
Triage reviews
(Rapid reviews)
Designed to quickly show how a project or programme could improve its chances of success.
In-Depth reviews
(Deep dives)
Where there is lack of confidence in performance or specific aspects of a project, this review will show how robust the approach is.
Thematic/Organisation exposure reviews
When individual project reviews are no longer sufficient, a Thematic Exposure review can determine an organisation’s change risk exposure and how it could reduce it.
Effectiveness/Follow-up reviews
These reviews determine how effective the actions taken have been, and if the health and performance of the project is improving or not.
Our core services are tailored to give your teams the skills and support to run successful reviews
Shape, plan, set-up Internal Audit change assurance function
Where Internal Audit functions recognise change assurance requires a different skillset and approach, this service ensures they are equipped to perform change assurance that provides evidence-based analysis on outcomes, not process.
Shape, plan, set up 1st & 2nd line assurance functions
Where organisations recognise that assurance should be an integrated part of project delivery, this service ensures Front line, PMO and Risk functions are equipped to carry it out in a timely, actionable and evidence-based way.
3rd/2nd line assurance co-source/outsource
Where Internal Audit or risk functions do not have the experience and/or capacity to provide independent assurance, this service provides experienced practitioners to undertake either 2nd or 3rd line assurance reviews.
For 20 years we've heard "change is unpredictable".
