Assurance – is it a bureaucratic burden or an effective way to avoid failure? It will largely depend on whether you are in a team being challenged or an executive with personal accountability for the result.
Most organisations have a fragmented approach to how integrated assurance is achieved. To have an integrated approach requires multiple layers in the organisation to function coherently. This article explains how to achieve this integration for your programme.
The three tier approach clarifies how the models (and terms) fit together:

- Programme viability – assessed by independent or peer assurance to provide an objective assessment of the likelihood of success
- Gate reviews – line management decisions on whether to continue to invest in the idea
