Best
Practice in Managing Housing Programmes
14th May 2009, JJB Stadium, Wigan
Managing
large programmes using contractors under framework contracts
places particular demands on the organisations managing the
contracts and the systems needed to support them. In addition,
the Audit Commission needs to ensure that the money is being
spent wisely and the processes are auditable.
Typically, the experts used to advise on setting-up the contracts
and structuring the business work independently of the organisations
providing the key business systems. Delcam has implemented its
programme management and collaboration system in many leading
housing organisations to help manage their Decent Homes and
other Capital Works programmes and in doing so, has met a wide
range of different requirements using a variety of different
approaches. However, it has become clear that standardising
the way the system is implemented will reduce the complexity,
cost and implementation time.
But, as a software developer, it is not Delcam’s role
to say what is ‘best practice’ across it’s
customer base, so we have invited Turner and Townsend, who specialise
in consultancy for programme management, project management,
cost management, project controls, business performance improvement
and change management to work with us to reach a consensus on
best practice. We will also be consulting our existing users
to obtain their input and feedback.
Turner and Townsend has helped many housing organisations establish
or improve their business models and is ideally placed to provide
the informed management consultancy to complement Delcam’s
system and implementation experience.
In the seminar, we will put forward our joint view of best practice
in a range of business processes from setting up the contracts
to managing variations and payments, and explain what the supporting
systems need to do to support this. We will also provide case
studies from a number of relevant organisations that we have
worked with over recent years to illustrate the approach.
