Planning an ICT Investment:
- Strategic Alignment and Governance – ensure the investment is aligned to agency business needs and has an appropriate governance structure.
- Develop a sound business case. Note: high risk and high value proposals may be subject to the Two Pass Review Process where proposals are reviewed in-principle against an initial business case and for final approval against a detailed business case. .
- Ensure Benefits Realisation is included in planning. That is, anticipated benefits are identified, prioritised, realised and managed. The Key Performance Indicator Resource Catalogue provides a framework for quantifying benefits and KPIs.
- Risk Management doesn’t just happen – it needs to be planned. As does Quality Management and Change Management.
Project and Program Management:
- Does your agency need or have a Project, Program and/or Portfolio Management Office?
- Where does your organisation fit within Organisation Capability Maturity Assessment Models
- Managing large ICT projects
Procuring Specialist Advice:
- Analysis of business needs, developing a strategic plan or business case, establishing corporate or project governance and all aspects of project management are specialised fields. The ICT Management Consultants multi use list can assist agencies streamline their procurement process.
