Intelligence Led Transformation

Giving you the confidence in your change and transformation projects, enabling successful implementation and ongoing development.

Why do Transformation Programmes fail?

Many projects suffer with change fatigue and a lack of buy in from key stakeholders. This is often down to lack of communication, disjointed actions and decisions as well as a lack of oversight and management.

How do you successfully mobilise and deliver a Transformation Programme?

There are a number of key components which should be in place to enable successful delivery of a programme of work. These include, sound governance, change control mechanisms, engaged project delivery teams, an experienced programme management office, approved review methodology, benefits capture and realisation mechanisms and regular reporting. All in parallel to frequent and relevant communications and engagement with key stakeholders.

What is the value of a joined-up approach?

The key components of programme management ensure greater buy in, enhance chances of success and allow warning signals to be flagged up in a timely manner to allow a change of course or tact.

At C.Co we believe that project management isn’t all about paperwork and process, it’s about timely results and altered mindsets. We don’t take a one size fits all methodology, we adapt to suit the circumstances of the work, ensuring the scale of project management is scaled to the individual project and that all outputs are focussed and targeted to achieve your aims and objectives.

Most importantly, we work with you and your staff – integrating with your in-house team to utilise and develop the skills already in place, as well as constantly assessing the impacts of organisational culture and the changes that will be required to ensure the smooth and successful implementation of any project.

Our team are fully qualified project and programme managers as well change management practitioners, and are comfortable using a range of methodologies including MSP, PRINCE2 and AGILE.

Training

Giving you access to insight, knowledge and best practice from our work, our extensive experience and our partners across the sector, as well as research and development expertise to fulfil your needs.

Knowledge sharing

Knowledge sharing is a part of the knowledge management process, where information has been collected and put into context to make more sense. At C.Co we’re different from other consultancies because we see it as our duty to our clients and to the sector to share knowledge and learning rather than keeping it to ourselves in order to aid cost effective sector improvement.

It’s easy for organisations to operate in isolation and measure themselves against themselves. At C.Co we believe in the power of networks and have extensive experience of R&D projects that bring together experience from across the sector – most recently our research has led to a number of papers, including schools traded services, ethical commercialism, innovative customer services and cost of care.

We often work with local authorities which are interested in exploring new opportunities, facilitating and leading discussion and research.

Good practice

At C.Co we don’t believe there is any such thing as ‘best’ practice. We know that organisations are different and one organisation’s ‘best’ relies on its specific requirements and context. These are highly individual, made up of different groups of methodologies, processes, rules, theories, values and concepts. We will always look to share our experience of other good practices that you can learn from and move from ‘best practice’ to ‘next practice’. And we will share our learning ‘warts and all’ to allow you to succeed.

Our solutions meet genuine need and impact. Our diagnostic tools enable us to baseline, understand and work with the current scenario to identify risks and maximise opportunities.
