Program management is the process of managing several related projects in a coordinated manner to yield benefits which would not be possible if managed individually. Having a program is to exploit economies of scale, to reduce coordination cost and risk. It is all about the structuring and control of those projects so they deliver effectively as a group. It may well be a structured framework for implementing change.
We at Evolve promote that program and project management are practical disciplines. We ‘make it work’. We are keen to drive to disired deliverables and outcomes to improve the client’s organization, with respect for the organizational structure and it’s culture.
We have Program and/ or Project Managers with military and civilian experience, within our industy practices and outside. The project manager is responsible for the succes of his project, while the program manager is responsible for the aggregated result to meet the end-state. They have managed large scale military flying excersises and introduced new aircraft types at a civilian airline. With that expertise we are able to implementing military best practices into civilian companies, and vice versa, with military structure and precision.
