Alongside the development of an Estates Strategy, we also offer programme management services when you are ready to implement. By their very nature, estates programmes are multi-faceted and involve coordinating multiple inter-related projects in multiple buildings over long periods of time.

The transition from high-level strategic estates goals to operational goals is often the greatest challenge. We offer programme management services to help smooth this transition. This typically takes the form of the creation a steering group. When run well this will enable the joint working of people at the detailed operational end and the high-level strategic end of the organisation. Our approach relies on close working with key stakeholders and on securing the buy-in of clinical and operational leadership as well as support from your estates team.

To be successful the, steering group will need a clear structure and purpose so that it can:

• Manage effective goals for the team, translating from the high level to the operational
• Establish a positive spirit of accountability within the team
• Effectively monitor and guide something that is very complicated, recognising that the programme of work may change over time
• Be adaptable and manage surprises and changes effectively
