Consultancy & Support Programme Support

A programme of projects should deliver more than the sum of its parts. However, individual projects often become focussed on their explicit deliverables and overlook important project level outcomes.

Through expert facilitation skills, Netskills can help by supporting cross-programme communication and collaboration, ensuring that projects remain aware of and aligned to the overall aims of a programme. Additionally, we can also help to synthesise programme and project outputs and amplify the lessons learned to a wider audience.

What we can offer:

  • Supporting studies and benefits realisation
  • Awareness raising and synthesis of outputs
  • Advice regarding the use of technology to develop an online programme community
  • Expert management, set-up and facilitation of programme meetings and events

Recent programme support projects:
