Programme Management Risk Office

As part of a Council wide initiative, our Local Authority Council required assistance in reviewing and reinvigorating their approach to programme and project management with an aim of integration with existing governance structures.

​

Working with the Council we deployed a team of digital Subject Matter Experts who created a PMRO structure which focused on decision making protocols for the implementation of all digital transformation activity. Working with the Council’s IT team a Technical Design Authority group was established to ensure all digital choices would have full interoperability across future digital platforms and would comply with the wider IT strategy.

​

Our team scoped out the full PMRO process, ensuring at all stages full integration with the wider Council decision - making governance structures. In so doing, work was undertaken to produce the following:

​

• PMRO protocols

• Reporting templates

• Delegated Authority protocols

• Financial reporting processes to track saving made

• Record and audit processes for wider governance and scrutiny

• Transfer of knowledge to the Council’s own team to ensure long term sustainability of the PMRO function.

​​

The work was recognised by the Council a robust example of how effective governance and decision making can help implement complex change programme while saving money.
