Heading

The more an organisation works on its strategy and determines what's needed to deliver it, the more they realise the need for a systematic approach to their project and programme planning. While every aspect of project management capability is vital to success, project planning, grounded in structure and focused towards revealing reality, is the key approach that separates it from other management approaches.

From here you can make decisions around feasibility, phasing and prioritisation. You will be off to a strong start ready to further elaborate to a point of confidence to execute your strategy.

Strategic intent must be turned into implementable plans.
We follow a systematic way to turn strategy into action through projects,
where project management is the best management approach,
Initial projects plans determine the results you get.
Projects plans are the foundation for success.


Where (and only where) project management can add value, 
we will identify where your strategic goals can benefit from project management.
we will identify projects, workstreams and where there are a number of interconnected projects we will identify programmes, we will balance the portfolio and work through initiation and planning with your team.

Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory

Real strategy needs realistic plans

Strategy into action through profressional project plans

We will make this engagement with you as simple as it needs to be, but no simpler. No matter the strategic school of thought your organisation belongs to, we know how to engage with your people, and follow a systematic way to turn strategy into action through projects,


Our expertise in the realm of strategy, and experience as project planners and practitioners, lays the essential groundwork for building realistic project, programmes, and other work plans.

Planning begins with initial stakeholder analysis, to determine who needs to be involved in the planning process,

It verifies a shared understanding of outcomes and outputs and the choice of appropriate interventions,

Identify resources, human and high level costs, agreeing focus, and the design of project structure and programmes

this stage will shape the the work that follows.

Planning is about bringing the right people on board, building relationships, and ensuring that program goals are appropriate to the community setting. It involves working with stakeholders to think through the outcomes you want to achieve and how they can be realistically delivered.Planning is also about:choosing the appropriate interventions,identifying resources,making local connections,agreeing on the focus and design of the programme.This stage will, to a large extent, shape everything that follows. There are two main steps in programme planning:


Provides a common language Helps us differentiate between “what we do” and “results”  --- outcomes Increases understanding about program  Guides and helps focus work Leads to improved planning and management Increases intentionality and purpose  Provides coherence across complex tasks, diverse environments


Enhances teamwork Guides prioritization and allocation of resources Motivates staff Helps to identify important variables to measure; use evaluation resources wisely Increases resources, opportunities, recognition Supports replication Often is required!
