Program Management

Meeting the needs of your business

Programs are established to meet a business need based on related initiatives, for example a fiscal or multi year program of facility projects, product rollout or corporate rebranding. Through coordinated management across the program, and aligning strategy and governance, stakeholders can expect increased benefit and control, and improved reporting on overall program performance. Initiatives can be prioritised, with resources allocated according to a master program schedule and budget allocation.

Value and risk-based decisions can be tested and applied across all initiatives, and improvements identified can be captured consistently. Benchmarking and data capture on completion should translate into improved organizational readiness. Questant has a vast amount of experience in this area, providing support to organisation from our presence in the United States and UK.
