Keynote UQAM 26 november 2013 Program ManagementMichel Thiry
Keynote delivered by Michel Thiry, PhD, PMI Fellow, Adjunct Professor University of Technology Sydney, to a group of senior managers and post graduate students at the Université du Québec à Montréal on 26 November 2013.
New developments in program managementMichel Thiry
Since the first edition of my book "Program Management" was published 6 years ago, program management has evolved both as a distinct discipline and as an organisational capability as described in the second edition of the book. As a discipline it has reached a point where, today, the main program management standards and writers agree that it is meant to deal with complex and turbulent situations and to deliver benefits, not products. It is also becoming more of an organisational capability and practice focuses more and more on its integration within the business, from strategy formulation to sustainability of benefits.
All these developments could be encapsulated in the maturing of the program culture. In this paper, I will examine five aspects of this cultural evolution:
1. The rise of agility and its effect on program management
2. The alignment of the main program management standards
3. The integration of program management in the organisation
4. The distinction between projects and programs
5. The management of change as a key aspect of program management
Projects programmes and portfolios, so what is the difference?Catherine Bendell
This document discusses projects, programs, and portfolios and the differences between them. It provides definitions and describes:
- A portfolio is a grouping of projects and programs managed at an organizational level to maximize return on investment.
- Program management coordinates related projects and change activities to achieve beneficial change, while individual projects are unique endeavors with defined objectives.
- The key to success is having the right sponsorship, effective project management, portfolio management to balance initiatives, and governance.
This document discusses implementing PRINCE2 for project management. It covers 4 key areas: 1) general project performance and factors that influence success, 2) how performance relates to maturity levels, 3) critical success factors for implementation, and 4) an effective approach to implementing PRINCE2 through project governance, leadership, dedicated processes, role execution, and managing organizational change. The implementation requires setting the stage, deciding the approach, driving change, and institutionalizing the new practices.
There are often inefficiencies and overlap in both application configuration and processes which may impact P2P ability to operate optimally and be a driver of continuous improvements within finance. Also because of their spread over different geographies, the efficient application of P2P processes, the management of the data and configuration processes tend to be inconsistent. I will resolve those issues and implement a fully functioning P2P framework delivering outputs excellence
An Assessment of Project Portfolio Management Techniques on Product and Servi...iosrjce
The crises of product and service innovation in most organisations due to global competition and
the need for scientific research in the project portfolio management discipline were factors that motivated this
research. The purpose of this study is to investigate how project portfolio management(ppm) contributes to
product and service innovation. A questionnaire was developed to gather data to compare the PPM methods
used, PPM performance and resulting new product success measures in sixty Nigeria organisations in a diverse
range of service and manufacturing industries. The study findings indicated that PPM practices have a greater
impact in the new product and services success rate. Also, business strategy method result in better alignment
of the projects in the portfolio. This conclusion is supported by the 0.630 Pearson correlations at 0.000
significance between percentage of successful products and PPM performance level. The results reveal that for
better innovation outcomes, management should place a priority on developing and improving PPM.

Programme start up document - Optimised Programme Methodology Simon Misiewicz
Optimise-GB provides you with a free template for the programme start up document. This is the first phase of a three phased programme methodology. This document is based on MSP, Lean and Six Sigma programme methodologies. The key difference and unique perspective for this methodology is that the programme never closes down but focuses on continuous improvement. This document reduces the number of documents that can often lead to confusion as identified in a number of methodologies. The document sets the reason for the programme in regards to operational strategies, objectives and balanced scorecard reporting. As with most programme management methodologies, the document focuses on the now (Current state / as is) again the future (to be / future state). There are several inbuilt excel templates to boot including objectives weighting mechanisms, SIPOC flow diagrams and business cases. The programme start up phase leads into the Programme Improvement plan, which identifies a number of initiatives to be authorised within the project portfolio. The third and final document in this methodology is the programme delivery report, another template, that reports back on the progress made against the strategic goals. Please contact me should you have any questions on simon@optimise-gb.com and visit www.optimise-gb.com for more details. Many thanks Simon Misiewicz
The document summarizes the key findings of PwC's 4th Global PPM Survey. It identifies 5 themes for how organizations can better deliver change: 1) optimize portfolios to maximize returns, 2) be flexible and change faster, 3) enable people to deliver success, 4) connect executive teams to delivery teams, and 5) measure and address facts to maintain direction. The survey found disconnects between executive teams and PMs, a lack of clear outcomes, and not stopping low-value projects. Changing how programs are delivered could better align activities to strategy and improve benefits realization.

key positions within finance transformation initiatives. We have many years of experience in assembling multidisciplinary programme teams and have refined structured processes to provide control and transparency and to ensure that appropriate skills and expertise are on boarded and stood down seamlessly.
The document discusses creating an agile assurance landscape for projects. It discusses being agile at two levels - within projects and programs, and at the organizational level. It notes that being agile at the organizational level requires overcoming challenges such as a non-agile culture, lack of flexibility, and risk aversion. It advocates establishing agile governance, collaboration, and measurement to create an agile landscape within an organization.
This document summarizes key aspects of corporate governance from a presentation given to the APM North West branch. It defines corporate governance as the system that directs and controls companies, with the board responsible for governance. The main principles discussed are leadership, effectiveness, accountability, and remuneration. Leadership principles include board responsibility for long-term success and a clear division of chair and executive roles. Effectiveness principles cover skills and time commitment. Accountability principles relate to risk management and transparency. Remuneration principles address executive pay and shareholder engagement.
This document discusses using an outside view of project risk for more realistic risk assessments. It advocates taking an outside view to avoid optimism bias and more accurately estimate risk. This involves using reference class forecasting to identify relevant past projects and establish a probability distribution of outcomes. The document also recommends taking an outside view to identify potential weaknesses in projects and develop leading risk indicators. A key concern is managing tail risk, as the risks in some projects start to grow exponentially with increasing uncertainty. Developing front-end project capabilities is important to improve planning and reduce uncertainty.
This document summarizes a webinar on enhancing the sponsor role in project management. It introduces several panelists with experience sponsoring major infrastructure projects. They discuss clarifying sponsor roles and responsibilities within organizations, getting feedback from sponsors to improve governance processes, and how boards can best hold sponsors accountable.

David will discuss techniques for prioritizing a project portfolio, including decision conferencing, pairwise comparison, and driver-based scoring. He will illustrate how to use these techniques to maintain a balanced portfolio throughout delivery. Some key points include prioritizing within and across categories, using strategic business drivers to focus on strategy, and allowing reprioritization if priorities change. Optimization techniques can help allocate resources with constraints in mind.
The document summarizes Deloitte's Programme Leadership capability for managing complex transformations in the mining industry. It discusses (1) Deloitte's Managing Complex Transformations approach which focuses on achieving strategic imperatives and benefits rather than just time/cost/quality, (2) how the team provides solutions addressing challenges from regulatory changes to market restructuring, and (3) that the team has experience planning, designing, structuring, and executing transformations to minimize risk and maximize benefits.
The white paper discusses managing successful business change programs and focuses on how understanding dependencies between initiatives, business processes, and activities can improve performance. It notes that poorly executed change programs can have dramatic negative consequences and that many risks stem from poor execution and oversight rather than strategy. The paper advocates for a top-down approach to change management with an enterprise program management office to provide oversight and ensure initiatives stay aligned with strategic goals and each other. It also emphasizes the importance of visibility into project status and issues for senior leadership.

Managing Complex Transformations
Deloitte’s Oil & Gas practice has a dedicated
specialist team of programme leadership
professionals who have the knowledge, skills and
experience required to lead, advise and support large-
scale, complex transformational change. By their
very nature, organisations operating in the Oil & Gas
sector frequently undertake large-scale complex
transformations. There are significant pressures to
deliver benefits within tight time and cost
constraints whilst minimising risk. Our Programme
Leadership team draw upon skills, techniques and
expertise acquired through on the ground experience
to provide our clients with valuable advice and
support.
Our team provides solutions which address the range
of challenges facing companies as they adapt to
changing regulations, shifting political, economic
and environmental concerns, technological
developments, as well as to changes brought about
by market restructuring, mergers and acquisitions,
performance improvements, increased environmental
sensitivity and stakeholder pressures to increase
profitability. The amount of change which
organisations need to undertake requires real
expertise in the major issues and complexities around
planning, designing, structuring and effectively
executing Transformation Programmes. The ability
to shape, deliver and assure transformation is crucial
in minimising the risk of delivering the change
whilst maximising the benefits.
Our Programme Leadership
practice
Programme Leadership takes a holistic approach to the delivery of
projects and programmes in complex organisations. We align
projects with the overall strategic objectives, transforming the
business strategy into a coordinated portfolio of initiatives.
The approach addresses the need to build organisational capability
for the development and implementation of new processes,
structures and systems as well as the skills and abilities of people.
We take an integrated approach to delivering business changes,
creating a means for continuous delivery. Our approach is to build
core organisational capabilities which enable organisations to be
agile in response to their environment or markets.
Key areas Programme Leadership covers include:
• Strategy Translation – turning business strategy into
programmes of work to deliver organisations objectives.
• Programme Management – ensuring the benefits set out in the
programme of work are delivered.
• Project Management – ensuring that work packages are
delivered to time, cost and quality.
• Programme and Change Architecture – helping organisations
build capabilities that support challenges of large scale complex
change.
Our people
Programme Leadership is comprised of high calibre consultants with
a vast range of experience in programme planning and delivery across
the Oil & Gas industry. We invest in our employees who come from
a diverse range of backgrounds, by giving them access to the best
training and career development programmes.
Our consultants specialise in many areas including project and
programme delivery and management as well as risk management,
planning, governance and reporting. We work closely with our
colleagues in Human Capital and Technology Integration so together
we can provide credible solutions for the more significant and
complex challenges faced by organisations. We have an exemplary
track record in high quality programme delivery and have robust
process to assure the quality of our delivery so that you can focus
your efforts elsewhere.
Programme Leadership helps you unlock the full value of your
initiatives, especially when you have a range of complex projects
going on simultaneously. We combine deep strategic and operational
capabilities with extensive implementation experience in order to
develop value-based executable strategies and to realise and manage
benefits across your organisation.

Managing Complex Transformations
Our approach to advising, leading and shaping large global complex
transformations is based on our Managing Complex Transformations
(MCT) approach. This approach focuses on achieving key strategic
imperatives and benefits to deliver a sustainable and successful
transformation programme rather than the traditional project approach
of focusing only on time, cost and quality.
Through adapting this approach, organisations can create a ‘line of
sight’ between strategy and successful transformation delivery.
Based upon our extensive experience of advising, supporting and
managing complex transformations, we normally recommend
consideration of six critical themes within the Transformation
Management Office:

Transformations
Programme management,
design & governance
Programme Management, Design & Governance
• Focus on designing and shaping the transformation, developing
the vision, direction and design of the programme.
• Establishing effective governance with clear roles, accountabilities
and responsibilities across the programme. This should enable
effective supervision, decision making and necessary controls and
management.
• A fit for purpose yet flexible methodology supported by leading
tools and techniques to manage the programme and projects
effectively and efficiently.
Operating Model Design
• Design of the future Operating Model to ensure that when the
organisation is transformed, it is effective both to meet the
strategic objectives of the organisation and be congruent with the
top-down strategy and bottom-up operational realities across
business units.
• Consideration of an appropriate Target Operating Model design
of people, process and technology will enable the formulation of
a business case and creation of an integrated execution plan.
Benefits and Value Management
• Defining and developing a Benefits Management approach to
identify, define, plan, measure and report the realisation of
benefits intended from the transformation. This will involve the
development of an approach, framework, tools and techniques to
prioritise initiatives based on benefits, cost and risk, as well as
provide the approach, framework and tools to track the delivery
of benefits.
• Establishing a clear linkage between improvement initiatives and
shareholder value.
Enterprise Programme Management Office (EPMO)
• Implementing an Enterprise Programme Management Office to
monitor, co-ordinate, report and control all the transformation
activities across the projects within the transformation programme.
• Implementing intelligent processes, procedures and tools including
but not limited to planning, risk and issue management, resource
management, budgeting and financial control, change control and
quality management.
Planning & Delivery Assurance
• Definition of the scope of work, programme plan, and baselining the
activities across the projects within the transformation programme.
• A fully integrated scope and programme plan will need to be
developed.
• Specialist advice from deep industry and subject experts across all
subject areas to give independent delivery and technical advice and
assurance.
Change Management
• Assess their organisation’s readiness for change, along with the likely
impact of change on staff within the organisation.
• Strategic change needs to be managed through the development
and implementation of a tailored change strategy, which identifies
the interventions and organisational levers that will minimise
resistance to change.
More details of the Change Management aspect is covered in the
‘Translating strategy in complex environments to enable differentiation
through people’ brochure.

Managing Complex Transformations
When delivering projects, all our practitioners use PMM4, Deloitte’s
own Project Management Methodology. It builds on industry leading
best practice approaches to project management.
As well as PMM4, Deloitte has a suite of resources and material
available to all practitioners involved in the management of
Programmes and Programme Management Offices. We continuously
update these resources to add value to the programmes we deliver.
The majority of our staff are Prince 2 and PMI qualified and many of
our people also have MSP and Six Sigma qualifications. We have
developed independent relationships with many of the leading
programme management software vendors and can advice on which
Programme Management software solution will meet your needs.
We have Programme Leadership Centre of Excellences in the UK, US
and the Netherlands staffed with subject matter experts in managing
transformations and programmes in the Oil & Gas industry.
The Enterprise Programme Management book on delivering value was
published by Macmillan and written by David Williams and Tim Parr
from the Deloitte Programme Leadership team. This book argues that
the agile and dynamic organisation needs to develop enterprise wide
programme management as a core capability.
This starts at Board level in translating strategy into a
portfolio of programmes. Developing the structures,
systems, processes and new skills to effectively manage
and deliver these programmes is critical, but in our
experience seldom done successfully on an organisation
wide basis.
Methodologies, Thought Leadership and Centre of Excellence
De Beers, Diamond Trading Company, Transformation
Management Support
The Diamond Trading Company (DTC) is the sales and distribution
arm of De Beers Group. DTC was embarking upon a significant
objective to transform the organization by end of 2009 as a result
of a number of drivers for change. Deloitte was engaged to
structure, shape, scope, plan and design the transformation in
phase 1. This was to enable the execution of the activities to
achieve the end state vision, objectives and cost savings articulated
in the business plan.
Benefits to DTC
• DTC’s executive committee gained insight, understanding and
assurance over the transformation activities which were being
undertaken.
• Transformation activities were structured and formulated with
effective governance, reporting and oversight to enable control
and direction.
• Processes, tools and methodologies were established to enable
effective transformation management, change management,
benefits management, planning and design and operating model
design.
• Clear understanding of the gaps in the future operating model,
together with detailed action plans to remediate weaknesses.
• Baseline cost position for all business units was established along
with the process, and tool to track costs and benefits of the
transformation.
• Baseline plans were established to enable transformation
activities to be effectively tracked.
UK based Global Oil Supermajor, Exploration & Production,
Advanced Collaborative Environment
For the last two years, Deloitte have programme managed and
delivered “Project Mercury”, an enterprise transformation
programme to deploy Advanced Collaborative Environments at scale
in the client’s North Sea Oil Business. These environments allow
offshore and onshore staff to work as one combined collaborative
team by providing real time support to the client’s North Sea assets.
The Deloitte team piloted and designed the initial concept and then
planned and executed the scaled rollout of the final solution to the
business. This involved multiple workstreams to deliver the
transformation, including: people and process change; physical
environment design and build, new organisational roles and
responsibilities and the implementation of a leading technology
solution. This was underpinned by robust programme management
to deliver the change (including benefits, costs and resource
management).
Benefits to the client
• Defined how the client’s front-line Operations could best be
supported, re-defining roles and responsibilities, designing new
office layouts and specifying new technologies.
• Measurable increase in operating efficiency (and therefore
production), mostly through increasing the run-times of
equipment, preventing outages and accelerating plant re-starting
in the event of an unplanned shutdown.
• $20 million in approved benefits in the pilot phase – this includes
impacting the business performance for both the onshore and
offshore teams.
Our client experience
26863 sm Managing complex:26863 sm Managing complex 3/10/08 11:29 Page 3
6. UK based Global Oil Supermajor, Financial Control and Accounting,
Integrated Project Planning
The European CFO of an Oil and Gas Super-major required assurance
and visibility over the delivery of 100+projects across 15+ countries,
identifying and mitigating project related risks/issues and addressing
resource constraints. Deloitte's Programme Leadership team designed
the Integrated Project Planning (IPP) process to help the client’s
Finance, Control & Accounting department manage a complex
portfolio of projects across multiple countries and sites whilst
maintaining and managing ‘Business as Usual’.
After carrying out project assessments, Deloitte used an integrated
portfolio management (IPM) process to articulate findings and
produce reports and analysis. The workshop outputs were
consolidated to form recommendations to the CFO so as to inform
strategic decisions about the portfolio. It allowed a clear
understanding of resource, skill requirements and deployment
strategies, a clear escalation route to proactively resolve conflicts, and
enabled risks and issues to be identified and managed.
Kuwait Oil Company, Unified Change Programme
Deloitte was asked by KOC’s executive leadership team to support
them in a review of the alignment and delivery of their organization
wide change initiatives set up to deliver their 2020 vision. Working
with the client we conducted a review of the portfolio of initiatives,
their alignment and contribution to the expected benefits, looking at
the inter-dependencies and challenges for the delivery of the
portfolio. Following the portfolio review, we recommended a robust
control framework for the delivery and governance of the portfolio
and its core programmes. This study was delivered by a
multidisciplinary team drawn from our Energy industry and
Programme Leadership teams.
Recommendation delivered
• Recommended portfolio approach to enable the delivery of the
expected benefits.
• Recommended a governance framework that would meet the needs
of key stakeholders and the programme team, and which fits with
the organisation’s culture.
• Recommended supporting tools and templates for the control
framework.
UK based Global Oil Supermajor, Refining & Marketing, Process
Fitness Programme
The Refining and Marketing department of a large European
integrated oil company had been pursuing a transformation agenda
for the past few years. The role of Process Fitness is to enable strategic
performance units and functions to deliver their strategies through
improved processes. The Process Fitness Programme was established
to develop world-class process expertise, supported by proven process
improvement frameworks, tools and methodologies to tackle these
concerns and underpin organic growth.
Deloitte’s Programme Leadership team led and staffed the
Programme Management Office (PMO) team, our people supported
the Programme by providing advice, implementing and running PMO
processes across the Central Team, and through the Design and
Improvement work-streams. The PMO developed a standardised
programme management approach and materials, these included
status reporting, key performance indicator definition and reporting,
programme level planning, benefits definition, tracking and
reporting, quality assurance and cost control.
Shell, Global Finance Function, ‘One-Finance’ Finance Transformation
programme
Shell was embarking on an ambitious transformation of the Global
Finance Function, aiming to become world-class by 2010. The
objective was to ensure a more effective and efficient finance
function and meet business needs. This involved major process
standardisation, competence development and systems integration.
Deloitte’s Programme Leadership team provided assurance, advice
and expertise on whether an effective Programme Management
framework had been established. Deloitte’s Programme Assurance
methodology was used to undertake an independent assessment of
the structure, governance and processes of the framework providing
advice and recommendations.
Benefits to Shell
• Thorough and well-documented advice to the Vice President of
Finance Transition on the delivery of areas of good practice and
areas for improvement in the governance and control of the
