Major Programmes

Major Programmes focuses on solving a range of major problems facing the world today: economic, environmental and societal.

The global economy faces productivity challenges and is more connected than ever, making markets more competitive, complex, and vulnerable. We work with organisations to develop plans for sustainable business growth, informed by economic insight, in order to make a positive impact for future generations.

The effects of climate change are impacting businesses and communities across the world.
We help organisations reach their net-zero targets and improve the sustainability of their operations at a global scale.

The importance of social impact and support within every community has never been clearer. We work with our clients to ensure future investment is effectively directed to increase access and develop solutions that benefit communities at large.

Early Intervention

Our experienced team anticipates on hurdles, seizes opportunities, and responds to challenges with flexibility and speed, managing risks and maximising opportunities.

Resilience
Plans are often interrupted. Our measured approach means we keep moving forward to deliver successful outcomes.

Connected teams
We connect multidisciplinary teams of people, technology, and organisations to create a collaborative environment that leverages their diverse minds and skills.

Impact
We create ambitious solutions, minimise risk, and accelerate delivery to maximise benefits for our clients and wider society.

Our unique approach, Programme Aerodynamics, accelerates delivery of high-impact programmes by enabling organisations to anticipate, shape, and manage change across the programme’s lifecycle.

Programme Aerodynamics is delivered through five key components:

Continuous Strategy
Predictive. Proactive. Resilient.
Responds to changing perspectives and environments, providing leadership with the ability to anticipate future needs, develop choices, assess options, and evaluate outcomes. Centred on simulation technology, it provides a radically different approach to Portfolio and Programme Management.

Flexible Architecture
Dynamic. Rapid. Flexible.
A framework to define the key design components of a major programme and manage the relationships between these components. Based on a set of single page templates, it helps manage evolving designs, improves resource reallocation and ensures greater alignment across the programme.

Transformation Delivery
Action. Integration. Evaluation.
A delivery process, a cadence of meetings, which creates a forward looking, problem solving and aligned mindset. By focusing on building a delivery rhythm and transparency, the process accelerates programme delivery and momentum.

Digital Catalyst
Transformative. Innovative. Optimisation.
Delivers digital capabilities to shape the designs of solutions and manage delivery. Leverages technologies such as new sensors, digital twins and control towers to design more precise impactful solutions which can be delivered with greater flexibility. These tools help de-risk design choices and support accelerated delivery.

Human System Design
Adaptive. Cohesive. Pre-emptive.
An approach that ensures that at each stage of the programme life cycle, the right roles, skills, capabilities and leadership styles are in place. In addition, HSD leverages the Flexible Architecture design to ensure we can pivot the programme management structure to respond to evolving requirements.
