Our client for this £25m programme was implementing an ERP solution to support its global operations. The solution was intended to replace existing applications operated by a third party organisation that was planning to terminate support for the applications.

It had staffed the programme with a number of contractors, supported by internal resources, but had missed a number of deadlines.

We were requested by the Chief Executive to establish a Programme Management team to take responsibility for completing the programme within a 6 month deadline, at which time support for the existing the applications was due to cease.

 Key activities included:

•    Conducting a detailed assessment of progress achieved

•    Developing a detailed plan for completing the programme

•    Selecting additional contractor resources

•    Managing the completion of all outstanding activities

•    Reporting project progress and costs to the programme sponsor
