Synergistic Programme Management™
Every organisation has projects running. Many organisations
know something of the benefits of Project Management. Some
organisations have realised the need for Programme Management.
Few have done anything more than that.
Running a group of projects in a coordinated fashion to
achieve benefits that are of strategic importance to the
organisation – this is the essence of Synergistic Programme
Management™, enabling individual projects to deliver their
remit and unlocking additional value by supporting other
related projects currently in train.
Synergistic Programme Management™ offers a number of
significant benefits over traditional project management:-
- Provides a mechanism to support the effective delivery
of organisational change, often involving a range of
complex, cross-functional projects
- Particularly suitable for initiatives that require
elements of behavioural change
- Links strategy and tactics together, with strategy
driving tactics, not the other way round
- More effective management of resources, through project
prioritisation, based on strategic importance to the
business
- Identifies and focuses on the full and active
participation of key players in the change implementation
process, especially sponsor, stakeholders and change agents.
The starting point for effective Programme Management is
with the selection, tight terms of reference, resource
allocation and objectives of single projects. Too many is just
as bad as too few, and focusing on the wrong ones can be
catastrophic. Broadly speaking the benefits of individual
projects should be about:
- increasing sales
- reducing costs
- increasing competitive advantage
- or protecting some kind of position.
Ultimately every project should be about strategically
improving profitability.
If projects are set up correctly, they deliver most of their
value in the last 20% of their project path. Many more
projects are started than finished, yet it’s in the finishing
stages that they deliver the most value to the business.
Programme benefits go beyond the benefits of individual
projects. Individual projects tend to focus on deadlines and
deliverables, rather than making sure that strategic business
benefits are achieved. There are often significant programme
benefits that are outside the scope of any one project.
By using Predaptive Synergistic Programme Management™ your
organisation can make sure that strategic objectives translate
into tactical projects, which remain aligned and reach the
‘golden zone’ of completion. This is how value feeds through
