EPM Assurance & Rescue
Keep your EPM programme controlled and moving
When a programme is under pressure, more status reporting rarely fixes it. We give sponsors an independent view of scope, design, delivery risk and readiness, then help turn that view into practical action.
When to involve us
The pressure points we are built for
Assurance works best before a wobble becomes a failure. These are the moments sponsors bring us in.
Confidence is slipping
The programme reports progress, but confidence in scope, design or readiness is falling.
Finance and IT diverging
The two sides are working to different assumptions, and the gap is widening.
The partner needs challenge
The implementation partner needs independent challenge, or clearer governance around it.
Risk surfacing late
Testing, data, integration or cutover risk is becoming visible later than it should.
A programme has stalled
A stalled or failing programme needs a recovery plan sponsors can actually act on.
You want a client-side eye
You want senior client-side expertise alongside the delivery partner from the outset.
What we review
Where the risk actually hides
We look past the status deck to the things that decide whether a programme lands: the outcome, the design, the plan, and whether anyone owns the decisions.
The review lens
Six places we look first
- Business outcome and scope integrity
- Requirements, architecture and design decisions
- Plan, resourcing, dependencies and governance
- Data, integration, testing and operational readiness
- Commercial assumptions and change exposure
- Decision ownership and stakeholder confidence
Our approach
From an independent view to controlled action
Three ways in, depending on how much pressure the programme is under.
Programme assurance
Periodic or continuous client-side assurance. We challenge material decisions and make risks visible to sponsors before they become delivery failures.
Health check
A focused assessment that finds the few issues most likely to threaten the outcome, with evidence and accountable actions.
Rescue and recovery
Where delivery has lost control, we help stabilise it, agree the true status, reset priorities and set a credible recovery plan.
Starting engagement
EPM Programme Health Check
A short, fixed-scope diagnostic that gives sponsors an independent view of programme health, the material risks, the decisions required, and the immediate assurance or recovery plan. Scope and duration are agreed after an initial conversation.

Give sponsors an independent view, and a practical route back to control.
