Delivering Your Result

Programme Governance provides a framework for high level resource and programme management, it ensures resources are used at their optimum, balancing the elements of ‘Together, the power to improve’. It also provides a framework for the delivery of a range of both enabling and tangible benefits, and for high level resource and programme management.

It also provides a visualisation of progress and a forum for discussion.

What does each section of the Programme Governance framework do?

It identifies the purpose of the programme, and how people will work together to deliver it.

It quantifies the benefits of the programme and how data will be gathered to monitor progress.

It creates the programme governance structure to ensure appropriate resources are available to deliver the benefits.

Balancing Skills

It is essential we balance the programme, developing system features that lead continuous improvement and coaches to deliver benefits with work teams.

To that end it’s important we have the right mix of skills throughout the organisation, if not there is an imbalance in the programme which prevents CI from being implemented successfully and sustainably.

Below is an example of some typical imbalances in organisations:

Great training but nowhere to practice the skills.

Great deployment and leadership training, but no-one knows how to improve findings.

We left the middle managers out of the process.

The chosen few do everything, the front line are not engaged.

Leaders are not engaged in the process.

S A Partners Leadership Programme [Together]

The S A Partners Leadership Development Programme creates the necessary competencies for leaders at front line, middle and senior levels to engage people in their improvement journey.

It equips leaders at all levels with the appropriate skills to deliver the current and future organisational goals.

Our Leadership Programme is accredited to the Lean Competency System (LCS), compliments the Improvement Coach Programme and is tracked via the Learning Management System.

The following page explains the Leadership Development Programme in more detail.

Systems Consulting (The Power)

The Power element of the Together, the Power to Improve model contains the core elements of what needs to be done, and is an outline of how the business can successfully implement such a system.

Every business strives to continuously improve, creating value for its customers and Stakeholders. To do this businesses invest in talented people through their recruitment and people development processes.

However, those people need systematic and standard ways of working so that everyone in the organisation is clear on what they need to do, when they need to do it, and how it contributes to deliver the goals and targets of the strategy.
