Programme advisory focuses on the strategic outcomes and business alignment that we know our clients want. We will improve your decision making, outcomes and performance, while removing ambiguity and ensuring strategic alignment.
Strategic outcomes and business alignment
We review and develop the value proposition and business case, including the assessment of objectives, expected benefits, performance indicators, scope, size and complexity, timescale, phases, cost and risk appetite in order to improve decision making, outcomes and performance, remove ambiguity and ensure strategic alignment.
Organisational design and governance
We review and develop the best way in which a portfolio, programme or project is to be structured, directed and managed. This includes the optimal organisation structure, authority, accountability and decision-making roles, assignment of resources and funds and how the structure and roles evolve through the programme life cycle.

Project highlights

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
The Royal Commission for Riyadh City plays an integral role in the regulation and economic development of the city of Riyadh.
Buro Happold was engaged by the RCRC “Programs & Projects Sector” team to support in assessing the current state and transforming the sector’s capabilities of adapting to the everchanging landscape and to enhance its planning and delivery capabilities to meet Riyadh’s development needs.
The scope of our work consisted of two key streams: organisational transformation and capability building and programme and project management support. We also developed an implementation roadmap to help support the successful adoption of the new strategy.
