Strategy implementation shouldn't stop because your team is busy. We mobilise our program or transformation managers to ensure your strategic program is delivered or your transformation is realised.

Third Horizon works collaboratively with you to ensure your strategy is implemented. We establish Transformation Management Office (TMO) or Program Management Office (PMO) so that demonstrable results are achieved, delivered and celebrated, quickly.

We are relentlessly proactive, pragmatic and practical with a reputation for highly effective implementation and a no nonsense approach to consulting.

Our TMO and PMO intersects benefits realisation, change management, and communications management with transformation or program management functions.

Our proactive approach is tailored based on the insights we have gathered from running successful TMOs and PMOs, as well as our extensive cross industry experience.

• Tailored and simple set of PMO and TMO tools and templates employed with requisite training during the embed and optimise phase
• Dedicated PMO and TMO team members with clear roles and subject matter expertise with the ability to work collaboratively with internal initiative leads
• Detailed planning phase included in the approach to ensure all initiatives follow a consistent approach to planning and milestone setting with signoffs on plans obtained before execution
• Training and support provided by PMO and TMO experts to initiatives leads on project planning, dependency management and resource allocation
• Change management is a fundamental part of the methodology and commences right at the start to prevent change overload and burnout
• Active Risk Mitigation to manage transformation or program risk through the use of a RAID (risk, assumptions, issues, dependencies) log and RACI (responsible, accountable, consulted, informed) matrix to ensure timely risk and issue resolution or mitigation

Third Horizon’s Program Delivery Framework identifies the value which can be unlocked the by understanding the intersection of benefits realisation, change management, and communications management with transformation or program management functions.

Embedding change and integrating new methods, technologies and process can be the most challenging part of any program. While we provide PMO support, we also support our clients by building capability, leaving an impact.

By taking a scalable approach to building capability, we can upskill key people involved in the transformation with leadership, project and commercial skills, leaving an enduring capability for clients

Our approach ensures an enduring capability is embedded in the business, which is scalable for further change through to business as usual continuous improvement activity. We focus on helping clients build enduring PMO, leadership and commercial capability throughout our engagements.

Third Horizon’s Transformation or Program Management framework is aligned with and can work flexibly with other Agile or Waterfall methodologies including P3O, MSP, PRINCE2 and PRINCE2 Agile so we can seamlessly integrate with existing frameworks.

Third Horizon’s methodology builds on industry standard portfolio, transformation/ program and project methodologies.

1. Governance: Provide key stakeholders with insightful and timely information to support informed decisions ) e.g. strategic direction, planning, resource allocation, removal of obstacles).
2. Portfolio Management: Assemble, monitor and manage critical information across transformation programs to enable a portfolio view (risks, performance, benefits, budgets and quality measures).
3. Program Management Support: Support transformation / program work streams with tools, templates, guidance and assurance to ensure project deliverables are achieved rapidly and effectivly in line with agreed milestones.
4. Integration & Alignment: Identify portfolio inter-dependencies, ensure alignment across transformation / program work streams and ensure alignment with other transformation programs.
5. Change Management: Work with transformation / program work streams to identify critical portfolio impacts, assess readiness for change, and develop and manage a acommunications framework and plan.
6. Continuous Improvement: Focus on continually improving and advising transformation / program and project management capabilities and ensuring alignment with EPMO, P3M Frameworks, PSO, MSP, PRINCE2 and PRINCE2 Agile to improve overall transformation / program and project delivery.
