Consulting Services
Program Management
Effective program management ensures the benefits achieved are greater than the sum of its projects’ benefits. Magnous can help you optimize the use of your resources and effectively manage your risks.
How we can help
We'll maximize your program management outputs and benefits
Program Delivery
Program Management brings about benefits that are more than the sum of those attained by managing projects individually. These are efficiencies attained through economies of scale or scope.
Program Governance
Proper project / program governance ensures the consistent delivery of optimum results. What is crucial is here is to find the right level of governance suitable for the organization. That depends on its maturity, its culture, the competitive landscape and its business model.
Project Rescue
We have years of experience rescuing failing IT and business projects. Failing projects include those that miss key milestones, run over budget or don't deliver the full benefits expected when the project was approved.

We typically start by assessing the current state, understanding the pain points and evaluating contributing factors. We then recommend the metrics that are most critical to measure and improve on and establish benchmarks. Once agreed, we then work with the client team to come up with the best possible improvements that would address the pain points, support the strategy and deliver quick wins. We then illustrate the achieved improvements through metrics (KPIs) and move on to the next set of pain points, repeating the cycle. |
