Consulting Services
EPMOs - Programme And Project Management Offices
Alteram Solutions has the key strategic competency to assist our clients in establishing, mobilising and managing a fully functioning EPMO for our clients. Furthermore, we offer services that can enhance existing Enterprise Programme and Project Management Offices (EPMOs) structures. Our overall objective in establishing or enhancing EPMOs, is to ensure that the client’s strategic goals and business objectives are aligned with the current projects being executed. The benefits that Alteram envisions for our client’s EPMOs are:
- Only Specific projects that are determined to align to the organisation's strategic objectives will be allowed to progress;
- The benefits originally identified for each project will be realised or, if not, the reasons why not understood.
- Translation of organisational strategy into a portfolio of executable programmes
- Prioritisation and rationalisation of funding, resources and capital resources across programmes which translates into more projects being delivered on time and within the budget.
Portfolio, Programme And Project Maturity Assessment
Our Portfolio, Programme and Project Maturity assessment examines the client’s organisation maturity at the Portfolio, Programme and Project Management level. This assessment is based on international best practices methodology which has the following 5-level structure:
- Level 0: Unstructured Process
- Level 1: Awareness of Process
- Level 2: Repeatable Process
- Level 3: Defined Process
- Level 4: Managed Process
- Level 5: Optimized Process
Alteram believes in creating a full integration of Portfolio, Programme and Project management principles within the client’s organisation. We offer a Portfolio, Programme and Project maturity assessment that evaluates the capability or maturity level of the business, that is then used not only to establish which level the organisation is currently sitting at; but to also ascertain how their level can be improved given the various factors within the organisations own environment.
Depending on these various factors within the client environment, through our interventions we always aim to bring the organisation to Level 3 capabilities. Included as part of the assessment is an outlining of how levels 4 and 5 may be achieved and the benefits to be gained from each level, should the entity choose to progress further.
Change Management Services
Change such as new structures, policies, targets, acquisitions, disposals or re-locations all create new systems and environments, which need to be explained to people as early as possible, so that people's involvement in validating and refining the changes themselves can be obtained.
We implement a structured and robust change management strategy to support the “people” component of change interventions related to existing projects. We realise that the return on investment (ROI) of any change programme is related to how the people side of change is managed.
Our change management offerings can help equip your company to drive and sustain change through three areas: Enabling Change, Embedding Change and Sustaining Change. Some of the key change management activities are assessing the: organisational readiness for change; stakeholder management; strategic communication and engagement and lastly, people development and training.
Risk Management
Our Risk Management approach is based on four key elements that provide for a detailed identification and overview of the risks that have an impact of the entity’s business. This in turn assists those entities to develop risk strategies that align with their specific strategic objectives whilst also supporting corporate governance. The four elements of the Framework are:
- Defining the entity's Risk Management Principles,
- Defining an Approach for Risk Management
- Defining Risk Management Processes
- Implementing, embedding and reviewing Risk Management Strategies
Our risk consulting team helps entities identify risks from different perspectives within an organization - strategic, programme, project and operational – and proactively work with the client to overcome or mitigate these risks
