Assuring Programme Success Ben Sissons
BRM Fusion Ltd.
• Me • BRM • What I’m going to talk about
– Programme Failure – Assuring success
The Association of Cost Engineers
Intro
• Estimates of change failure to achieve results vary wildly (35% to 70% of large change programmes)
• Apparent from ICT to manufacturing • Failure hard to define when most don’t
measure success • How do we get better?

Doing & Monitoring
• Is it going like we thought? – Actual vs Expected Activities – Actual vs Expected Results
• When something goes wrong – What is going wrong? – What are the expected impacts?
• Change to activities? • Change to results?
– What do we do about it? • Change activities? • Update expectations? • Stop? • …
