Notes:
OVERVIEW
 
This event provides those responsible for managing programmes with a structure which will help them towards delivering the business benefits sought.

WHAT IS PROGRAMME MANAGEMENT?
 
Programme Management brings together related projects to manage their interdependencies. The OGC's "Managing Successful Programmes" method provides and maintains a strategic view over the set of projects, aligning and co-ordinating them within a programme of business change in support of specific business strategies. Programme Management provides the framework for implementing business strategies and initiatives, or large scale change, where there is a "vision" of the programme’s outcome – a transformed organisation for example. The path to achieving the vision may deviate and change direction. The vision itself may require adapting as work progresses and individual projects orbit around their approved plans. Programme Management helps to organise, manage, accommodate and control these changes so that the eventual outcome meets the objectives set by the business strategy.

DESIGNED FOR
 
Any organisation or individual seeing the need for a controlled approach to managing its programmes. The event is suitable for programme managers, experienced project managers, programme support team members and senior managers from any discipline. The OGC Managing Successful Programmes method is flexible and adaptable for any type and size of programme where a business "vision" is the required outcome.
