Know where your program really stands.
Major ICT and transformation programs fail quietly before they fail publicly. Independent, point in time assurance gives a senior responsible officer and a program board an honest view of delivery confidence while there is still time to act.
How we help
Our assurance practitioners have led the Commonwealth gateway review function and have reviewed initiatives ranging from multi billion dollar defence programs to small not-for-profit projects.
Gateway style reviews
Reviews aligned to the Commonwealth gateway and digital assurance methods at each stage of the investment lifecycle, from strategic assessment through to benefits realisation.
Delivery confidence assessments and health checks
A short, structured look at a program’s scope, schedule, governance, resourcing, risk and stakeholder position, with a delivery confidence rating and practical recommendations.
Benefits realisation and post implementation reviews
Did the program deliver what it promised, and what should the organisation learn from it.
Assurance frameworks
Design of an assurance function and framework for organisations that want to run their own.
Two to three weeks from planning to final report
- Plan with the SROScope, key questions and interviewees are agreed with the senior responsible officer.
- Read and interviewWe review the documentation and run structured interviews over a short onsite period.
- Report and briefA draft is discussed with the SRO before it is finalised, and we close with a briefing to the SRO and program board.
- Senior responsible officers and program boards
- Central agencies and portfolio departments overseeing major investments
- Boards and audit committees of statutory bodies and not-for-profits
- Program directors who want an independent view before a gate or funding decision
Ask for a program health check.
Tell us about the program you are worried about. A health check is a short, contained piece of work with a clear rating at the end.
