• Implement Best Practice. Define and implement standards, frameworks, and tools to enable effective project and programme delivery.
• Improving Capability to Deliver. Raise the capability of our delivery management by implementing a Community of Practice and leading on best practice in capability development.
• Embed Governance. Establish robust governance, reporting, and assurance processes to support executive visibility and decision-making.
• Reporting and Senior Collaboration. Collaborate with senior stakeholders to
  inform on project financials, delivery risk and performance.
