Portfolio and Programme Management

Overview

Alignment of your investment spending remains a business imperative.

  • Do projects realise the full potential they promise and deliver value for money?
  • Do you have the capacity and capability to successfully deliver on change programmes, on time and on budget?
  • Are you getting the most out of them?
  • Are you satisfied with the current maturity level of project management in your organisation?
  • Is your portfolio management approach appropriate and adequate – if you have one in place at all?

Setting up and managing large project portfolios is a critical and demanding task for organisations. The biggest challenge lies in the selection of the projects that promise the greatest value. PwC’s experts can help you identify those projects. To that end, we are equipped to analyse your portfolio in detail – and optimise it.

In doing so, we align ourselves towards your goals: we build the bridge between your corporate strategic goals and the implementation measures anchored in the project portfolio. Moreover, we ensure a high degree of transparency by means of digital tools. Accordingly, you will always have the information you need to make decisions and alter them where necessary. We will increase the efficiency of your processes through standardisation and automation. Our goal is not merely to provide administrator services, but to create real value.

How we add value

Project and program management

Our project program management services aims to bridge the gap between strategy and execution by addressing business constraints. We support clients to implement large and complex development programs and projects by simplifying the process of designing, structuring, and administering project activities to maximise value.

Working with development partners, we identify the strategic development issues and determine which of these can be prioritised above others and evaluate how to carry out the execution of a new approach to development issues. We help organisations to make decisions about project selection and allocation of resources with the goal of achieving desired results.

Our monitoring and evaluation solutions help to keep track of the benefits achieved throughout the project management cycle and generate knowledge for improvement of future programmes.

Technical assistance

Provide Technical Assistance (TA) services in various areas by implementing capacity assessments, developing capacity strengthening plans/strategy, and mentoring clients to strengthen their capacity. Our focus includes strengthening the Public Financial Management functions, Governance and Administrative services.

We have supported various governments in the process of transition by setting up the critical functions and structures to ensure public funds are utilised effectively for provision of services to taxpayers. We work with the government at various levels to design strategies for generating revenue to provide various services to the citizens.

Monitoring and Evaluation

Monitoring and evaluation is critical for programme management. It offers proof of whether a project or a program is on track and information for managers to make important decisions throughout the project. M&E is an important source of knowledge of what works and what doesn't and helps to drive accountability to program funders. We have a proven track record of carrying out complex assessments on programme approaches to report on results and recommend improvement in the delivery methods.

Through our extensive knowledge in design and management of programmes, we support clients to strengthen their M&E capability by conducting routine data checks, mid-term assessments, program capacity assessments, training of implementation partners, end-of-project evaluations, and impact assessments.
