PROGRAMME MANAGEMENT

Results of sufficient scale to influence corporate performance are dependent on effective programme management

• Ambitions and good decisions come to nothing without the hard graft of translating them into detailed plans and carrying them through to completion. A single line in a top-level project plan requires an average of sixty lines of detailing before it is at a level that drives implementation.
• Plans then have to be glued to those responsible for their execution and tracked by the financial accounting process
• Capable project managers who can construct and follow a Gantt chart are not particularly rare. Those who can continuously explore new opportunities as they arise, and refine plans in mid-stream are few and far between.
