Project or programme management and delivery

Our project and programme management and delivery approach offers robust controls and flexibility so our clients are best positioned to respond and deliver change in complex environments. We are skilled in optimising programme design and plans so they deliver your required outcomes and benefits, empowering your organisation to achieve your strategic goals.
 
We offer high-quality, bespoke programme management services across health and care, with a team of skilled and experienced consultants able to deploy traditional ‘waterfall’ methodologies and Agile frameworks. Both methodologies and frameworks can be used flexibly throughout the programme lifecycle, allowing us to adapt our approach while ensuring delivery remains focused on your overall benefits and aims.
 
Our consultants develop a deep understanding of clients’ needs and context. We form trusted relationships and support clients to leverage cross-project synergies, optimise delivery, and drive innovation, providing assurance of high-quality delivery. We run Before Action Reviews to anticipate challenges and solutions for key project components, and regular After Action Reviews to identify improvements for subsequent phases.

Our extensive library of tools can be tailored to suit the size, scope, and scale of any programme.

We also offer an evaluation of your organisation’s maturity by assessing current functions against best practice and recommending the changes most appropriate to your needs and budget.

Mobilising new programmes

TPHC is expert in mobilising new initiatives and programmes of work, creating the foundations required for a programme’s successful delivery.  We understand the key to programme delivery often starts with its set-up and engagement of stakeholders, the governance, and its ability to set direction, communicate progress and mitigate risks and issues.

Our approach to mobilising programmes in health and care also involves the co-development of robust and achievable plans which are often multi-year and complex, working alongside stakeholders, including the end-users; patient, clinical, community and public, who will ultimately benefit from the programme’s outcomes, and assess if a programme has achieved its aims.

Working closely with our clients, we:

• set up project governance, reporting structures and PMO tools, including a governance map, risks register and stakeholder mapping). We engage stakeholders, map existing data, and run workshops to define priorities and start building the case for change. Outputs include stakeholder engagement plans, workshop results, and emerging priorities
• co-develop a compelling case for change by developing the logic model, establishing objectives and setting benefits, success criteria and timelines. We refine governance structures and finalise management controls. plan and prepare for programme implementation with the completed governance framework, business case, agreed next steps and programme controls, including the finalised programme plan, escalation frameworks, budget, and reporting systems.
