Abstract: Abstract It is rare for any one organisation to possess all the people it needs to deliver a programme. This is particularly the case when a programme brings together information technology (IT), processes and organisational changes to achieve an overall strategic business imperative. The larger the IT element, the more likely it is that the programme will need to bring together a multitude of internal organisations and external service providers (ESPs). IT-heavy programmes tend to have the most common requirement for significant involvement of multiple ESPs — very few organisations have all the skills, experience and resources required to deliver a large and complex IT solution for an overall strategic business change.
