SROs have a critical role to play as Project and Programme sponsors and on governance bodies. The aim of this 3 hour briefing is to help SROs understand the strategic nature of their roles and responsibilities and help them maximise their contribution in support of successful transformations. The briefing is offered on-site only and is tailored and focused on the organisation and programmes or projects specific to a given organisation.
On-site venues:
This briefing is only offered on-site to Local Authorities and their partner organisations. Numbers are limited to 12-15 and content tailored to meet the requirements of the council-specific project or programme.
There is a need for a fair and transparent prioritisation mechanism in anticipation of large demand – see our on-site section for further details on prioritisation details and how to apply.
Pre-requisites:
Attendees should have, or expect to have, a leadership or sponsorship role in managing a change programme now, or in the near future.
Learning Outcomes:
As a result of attending this workshop delegates will:
- Understand how to maximise their leadership contribution within a project or programme environment
- Understand the key concepts around Managing Successful Programmes
- Experience the reality of the role by walking through a day in the life of a sponsor
- Gain a recognition of the relevance of the Programme Management framework
Who should attend?
This course is ideal for all directors and members involved in change programmes and projects for example:
- Members with some responsibility or input into major change programmes
- Directors taking a Senior Responsible Owner role
- Directors taking an executive role in a project
- Directors in a Sponsor group or oversight board
- Leaders of a programme or project board
Delivery Methodology:
The workshop content is driven by the attendees and their specific situation. The workshop facilitator will engage with the attendees to discuss their situation and adjust the topics and depth of discussion to meet their needs.
The material will be slides, with the delegates having supporting notes to provide additional information for each slide or to highlight key messages.
There will be no case study, as it is anticipated that the event will focus on the change programme for the authority and discussions will be encouraged within that context.
