Programme Management

Make strategic change; deliver measurable value.

When you’re running multiple projects simultaneously, the challenge isn’t just execution—it’s prioritization, resource allocation, and ensuring each initiative contributes to your strategic goals. We design governance structures that create transparency, build frameworks that focus investment, and track benefits rigorously.

Our programme management ensures your projects work together rather than compete, delivering greater impact than the sum of their parts.

Ideal for:

Managing multiple interdependent projects
Portfolio transformation programmes
Prioritizing initiatives when resources are limited
Risk identification, tracking & management
Tracking benefits and measuring ROI
Scaling operations during growth phases

Case Study: Programme Management for Personal Care Portfolio Transformation

Client:
A global personal care business within the consumer goods industry.

Challenge:
The organisation faced a highly complex situation:

Five simultaneous hardware change projects across personal care products.
Multiple new variant launches and regulatory-driven product updates.
Ongoing need to maintain excellent service levels across the existing portfolio to support marketing activity.
Long-term capacity investments underway, alongside several IT and warehousing projects.

The central challenge was managing this breadth of initiatives while sharing critical resources—particularly formulation, packing, and factory trialling teams—without causing bottlenecks or disruption.

Approach:
Glenwest consolidated all initiatives into a single programme, creating clarity and control through:

Establishing a clear governance structure with defined decision-makers, roles, and responsibilities.
Prioritising projects using agreed performance indicators to focus on the highest-value outcomes.
Implementing a risk management process that identified time-based risks and created a cross-programme mitigation plan.
Ensuring shared resources were allocated transparently and effectively.

Three success factors made the difference:

Visibility: Full transparency across all functions regarding plans, priorities, and interdependencies.
Collective Leadership: Individual project leaders became part of the wider programme team, focusing on shared success.
Agility: Fast, pragmatic decision-making—especially where choices impacted multiple projects.

Results:

Programme delivered in full, achieving all milestones.
~15% increase in turnover.
~10% increase in shelf space.
Service levels maintained above 95% throughout.
