ikonami's approach to project and programme management has been forged in software development for the public sector, as well as managing offshore suppliers. Consequently our pragmatism is based on tried and tested methodologies such as PRINCE2 and DSDM.

Although much of our project management work is related to technology, the services can be applied to any situation where there is a clear need for project planning, project prioritisation and project delivery.

Our project management team is a dedicated group of project management experts and technology professionals. We have the depth of knowledge, technical skills and experience to rapidly deploy solutions with the least possible disruption to your organisation.

Our experts can address your needs on global, regional, local and / or industry-specific levels. We quickly determine the scope of a programme / project, using a number of standard tools and techniques. Appointing a single point of contact we manage and monitor the programme / project efficiently. Collaborating with key stakeholders we map your priorities to ensuring that this is communicated to all parties. Our key objective throughout any project is to realise benefits as quickly and efficiently as possible.

One of the areas that we are asked to get involved in is to assess an organisation's project management capability. By running internal audits we can assess the organisational capability to deliver projects successfully. The audit results allow us to then design a programme of improvement. This can then lead onto a fuller strategy development exercise which requires end user training. We design such strategies in conjunction with key stakeholders to ensure that any changes are fully embedded at the end of the training.

Related to this is the idea of designing and implementing project management methodologies. Although organisations know that they should have a methodology in place to manage their projects, this task falls in priority relative to actually delivering the projects. As external consultants we can assist in initiating this task as a change programme within an organisation, ensuring momentum throughout.

Where projects are already in mid-flow we can offer project and programme delivery services. This hands-on project and programme management expertise includes running project / programme management offices (PMO), cost and resource management, project board facilitation and communication strategies.
