Independent Programme Assurance

Every programme is marked green.
We tell you which ones actually are.

Whether you've just inherited it or you're governing it from the boardroom, you deserve an unfiltered read on delivery health — from people with no implementation stake in the answer.

Key finding

The go-live date reported to the steering committee assumes data migration is complete. Cutover testing shows three of five legacy ledgers are not yet reconciled, with no mitigation currently on the plan.

Recommendation: Fix the root cause — unresolved migration sequencing — before re-baselining the go-live date.
Wherever you're sitting

Different seat, same question: is it actually on track?

The reason to bring in an independent read looks different depending on your chair — but the answer you need is the same.

New CIO / Technology Executive

You've inherited the portfolio. How quickly can you trust what you're being told?

Right now, "I just got here" is still a valid answer. That window closes fast. Get an honest, independent read on what you've actually inherited — before it's yours by default, not by choice.

CFO

Protecting the investment case you signed off on

You approved the business case. Now you're relying on the same delivery team that owns the outcome to tell you if it's still on track. Get an independent check on whether the numbers still hold — before the next budget conversation, not after.

PE operating partner

Watching delivery risk across a portfolio

One quiet programme can sink a deal thesis. Get a standing, independent read across your portfolio — not just the one company that finally raised its hand.

Board & audit committee

Governing a programme you can't see inside

Delivery teams and implementation partners are accountable for delivery — not for grading it. Get the independent view your governance duty actually requires — in time to act on it.

The gap we close

Self-reporting tells you the story it wants told.

How it works

Four steps. One decisive answer.

The same structured process behind every engagement, scaled to fit Lite's days or Standard's weeks.

1

Assess

Artefact review, stakeholder interviews, and a scored survey across all 13 delivery dimensions.

2

Diagnose

Evidence scored against what's actually happening on the ground — not what's being reported up.

3

Recommend

Recommendations that target root causes, not symptoms — decisive, with a named owner for every action.

4

Act

Findings land inside the decision window, in time to change the outcome — not just document it.

Proof, before the price
