strategic interest in the programme, have responsibility for the investment decision making, will be
significantly impacted by the programme and will be required to enable delivery of the change.
Confirm the programme mandate with sponsors and stakeholders. Articulate the strategic objectives for
the programme, potential strategies for delivery, improvement and benefits that are expected to result,
and how the programme fits with other initiatives.
Develop a detailed business case for a programme, if warranted. Involve all key stakeholders to develop
and document a complete understanding of the expected enterprise outcomes, how they will be
measured, the full scope of initiatives required, the risk involved and the impact on all aspects of the
Activities enterprise. Identify and assess alternative courses of action to achieve the desired enterprise outcomes.
Develop a benefits realisation plan that will be managed throughout the programme to ensure that
planned benefits always have owners and are achieved, sustained and optimised.
Prepare and submit for in-principle approval the initial (conceptual) programme business case, providing
essential decision-making information regarding purpose, contribution to business objectives, expected
value created, time frames, etc
Appoint a dedicated manager for the programme, with the commensurate competencies and skills to
manage the programme effectively
and efficiently.
