To provide a Strategic Review every six months – this is a face-to-face meeting between both our client’s senior leadership teams and our own. It is all about presenting and adjusting the strategic vision and agenda for the months to come, discussing new opportunities and requirements, and reviewing financial performance.
To attend Monthly Operational Meeting-This meeting is held once a month and it is where we discuss resourcing updates, project performance against KPIs, and any risks and issues as notified by the teams.

Logic – the established framework should be reasonable and make sense to everyone involved.
Adequacy – there isn’t a set governance structure that works for everyone; this is something that should always be adjusted to the organisation or project at hand.
Transparency – all information regarding the governance structure has to be clearly stated, understandable and available to every team member.
Repeatability – the mechanisms and procedures involved should be all-encompassing, so that they can be applied repeatedly to any given situation.
Efficiency – the governance structure should allow any project to run as smoothly and productively as possible; it has to be solution-oriented.
Less bottlenecks or hurdles in the decision making process because the procedures and division of responsibilities are clearly defined;
Increased reliability and trust from our clients since the risk of potential misunderstandings or communication issues are reduced to a minimum.
