» Development of Internal Capabilities & Competences
Proving’s approach is to transfer our skills, research based knowledge and practical experience through focused and tailored training and support that reflects the specific needs of the client.
» Independent Programme/Project Reviews
For many organisations, there is a requirement for an independent and objective review. Proving has undertaken many such reviews; providing accurate and valuable analysis to support the prioritisation and investment decisions for many major government and commercial programmes.
Proving is a research-based organisation delivering highly effective analysis and planning solutions designed to meet the current economic challenges:
Value for Money Analyser (VfMA)
Supports the structured assessment of change options using the recognised VfM criteria of Economy, Efficiency, Effectiveness and Strategic Alignment; establishing a balanced portfolio that considers financial constraints alongside customer, community and wider organisational demands.
Cost Saving & Impact Analyser™ (CSIA)
Enables organisations to identify and qualify cashable efficiency gains and cost-savings whilst modelling the impact on essential front-line services.
Project Portfolio Analyser ™ (PPA)
Enables the structured assessment of projects and programmes to determine which will succeed and which are likely to fail. Using the key dimensions of Attractiveness & Achievability, assessments can be collated into a comprehensive portfolio of prioritised business changes.
A wholly new and exciting approach to strategy formulation and strategic option evaluation is will be available in January 2011.
