“I have to say, this is awesome… one of the best portfolio management packs I’ve seen in my career. Well done.”
David Gibbons, Chief Operating Officer
“The number one benefit has been to raise the profile of our investments and roadmap to the board and put the decisions around investments back in the hands of the business. We now have that regular forum for debate and understand what we can and can’t do. It’s given us that rigour and we can clearly see what the impact of starting, and just as importantly, stopping projects is. We’re much more under control.”
Stuart Page, SVP Global Technology

What an NHS Local programme team said.. -
“They understand that process is a tool to be used appropriately to ensure a project succeeds. It is not a bureaucratic barrier to hide behind.
This approach allows them to fit in with the culture of the organisation they are assigned to, and to all intents and purposes become a trusted member of that organisation for the duration of the assignment.”
