Programmes need to monitor the external environment and assess the impact of any unexpected events
External drivers shape organisation strategy. External changes may change strategy and implementation activities.
Business environment (political, economic, sociological, technological, legal, environmental)
Influence and shape
Programmes need to access and interpret strategy information
Strategy provides the organisation vision. Strategy reviews don’t coincide with programme reviews
Strategies, policies and change initiatives
Define, scope and prioritise
Programmes manage data/information they create and acquire from other initiatives
Programmes deliver the new capability to change, improve and realise benefits
Programmes
Initiate, monitor and align
Projects manage the data/information they create and acquire from other initiatives, and from their programme
Project outputs enable the organisation to change. Programmes link them to the strategy
Projects and related activities
Deliver and implement
Programmes need access to operational resources, date/information and expertise
Programmes make ready operations to take project outputs, use them and measure the benefits
New or transformed business operations
When the changes to operations are stable, and sufficient benefit measures completed, programme success can be reviewed.
Operations preparing for change need help to ensure they get the correct information
Outcomes achieved and benefits realised
