Program Management Office

One of the key concerns of top management across industries is the quality of implementation of strategic initiatives. There is often a large implementation gap – failure to convert the strategy into action, and to develop an adaptive strategy that evolves with the times. We help our clients drive business transformation by converting strategic thought into action through efficient program management. A Traffic Light System is used to program manage strategy work streams and track strategic initiatives, with each project assigned a status based on its level of completion. Projects are subject to intense review cycles to monitor progress and highlight any deviations. By ensuring regular client involvement, UC is able to effectively assist clients execute the strategic initiatives.
