Assurance
In order to become successful businesses and organisations become very good at the core of what it is that they do – the day-to-day running of their businesses and the focus on the services they deliver or products they create to meet market and customer need. However, almost all organisations at some stage have to develop and adapt to new regulatory regimes, or to adopt new and emerging technologies, or simply to reorganise themselves as part of a merger or acquisition, or finally to implement some form of an initiative through a programme of work. This then is often not core to what they do and all too often in the decision making process mistakes are made and programmes fail, sometimes with disastrous financial and reputational consequences. This has been seen time and time again in modern times and most organisations have suffered from a programme failure at some stage in their history.
Whilst failure can never be truly and completely eliminated you can nonetheless minimise the risk of failure and secure success by ensuring decision making in the context of a programme is robust and that risks are managed effectively and likely issues identified. One key aspect of this is ensuring you select the right business partners on the supply side and manage that relationship effectively and professionally. Another key aspect is ensuring the programmes goals are not overly ambitious or undeliverable and that you select the right technology and avoid unnecessary complexity.
