Delivery Management

What is Delivery Management?

Most projects have a plan and someone reporting on progress. Delivery Management goes further: we take a pragmatic approach to getting the work done, actively managing the team, solving problems as they arise and helping teams and organisations make clear decisions quickly.

It builds on the structure, planning and control of good project management, rather than replacing it.

This practical approach helps our clients

  • Turn ideas and strategy into achievable plans
  • Establish clear priorities and responsibilities
  • Make informed decisions sooner
  • Spot problems early and balance competing demands
  • Keep business and technical teams working towards the same goal
  • Respond when circumstances change
  • Deliver improvements that work in practice

Project Rescue

When a project needs to be reset

Projects do not always progress as expected.

Timescales can slip, teams may struggle to work together and what’s expected may no longer be realistic. As pressure increases, gaps can develop between leadership, delivery teams and suppliers.

Our Project Rescue service provides an independent and practical assessment of what is happening and what needs to change.

We work with people at every level to understand the challenges, rebuild a shared view and establish a realistic way forward.

Experience

Experience you can draw on

We’ve delivered projects for broadcasters, technology and software teams, and organisations going through major change, so we understand both the technical detail and the people side.

The right approach

Using the right tools for the job

Different teams work in different ways. A software team might work in short two-week cycles (an Agile approach), while a supplier delivers to you in fixed stages and releases (Waterfall) and an operations team uses a bit of both (Hybrid).

We don’t force everyone into one method. We make sure they all agree what matters, know who’s doing what and how their work depends on each other, and meet at agreed points along the way (milestones).

Shared goal — clear priorities, dependencies and decisions across the programme

The aim is to help the right teams work in the right way towards a shared goal.

Our commitment

Invested in your success

We work as part of the client team and take the time to understand what success means for the organisation.

We take responsibility for the work we’re leading and provide honest advice when a decision or change of direction is needed.

Our success is measured by the value delivered to the client, not by the number of meetings held or reports produced.
