“Organisations need to practice qualitative corporate governance rather than quantitative governance thereby ensuring it is properly run.” “You cannot legislate good behaviour.” – Mervyn King, Bank of England
Your programme will need an organisational structure, many programmes fail because they get this wrong from the outset. There are two sides to a programme: A) the bit that creates capability, which is where much of the money is spent on projects, and B) the bit that delivers the transformation, where the benefits come from changing the way the environment operates.
