There is no single program or project structure to fit every situation. Discretion is needed to find what’s fit for purpose in each case. Whatever structure is chosen, it is critical to successful delivery that programs and projects are managed to enable clear direction setting, decision-taking and oversight of progress – including triggering prompt remedial action if progress is behind the plan - but without incurring excessive paperwork or management overheads.

We help you to revisit and amend the structure as the project or program progresses, to respond to changed demands or circumstances. Our design of a program structure takes account of considerations such as:

What level in the organization do decisions need to be taken?
Which different(internal/external) organizational groups need to be represented, e.g. finance
  or HR.?
Who is representing users to ensure products or deliverables are fit for purpose?
Do roles need to be split across more than one individual to be able to cope with large scale   programs?
Do cross-organization structures need to be designed?

A 'Stakeholder' is anyone who directly or indirectly receives the benefit, or sustains the costs, resulting from the implementation of a policy. Identifying and effectively managing stakeholder relationships are critical to successful delivery

In the Getting Started phase, we help create a comprehensive map of stakeholders needed to help clarify the desired policy outcomes. For example, the desired outcomes might need to be expressed in terms of the impact on key stakeholder groups. From this initial map, a more sophisticated analysis of stakeholder interests and influence is needed to help assess delivery options.
For Example : The opposition of a powerful stakeholder might make one option more risky, and/or more costly.

The Identification and Analysis
The identification and analysis of stakeholder interests help inform the selection of partners in the implementation of the concerned Project / Program and consultation/communication arrangements. At subsequent stages in project/program delivery, assessing the extent to which stakeholder outcomes are being achieved will enable effective benefits management.
