Establishing Single Programme

Defra wants an independent consideration of its existing internal and external change projects to understand how best to ensure that they have the greatest impact on achieving successful delivery of the significant post-transition work programme facing Defra group. We estimate that this work will take 4-6 weeks to complete, starting early in 2021 and which must complete within financial year 20/21. The work will involve: - articulating the scope of Defra group portfolios, including how we can best marshal existing internal and external work streams, and identifying and scoping work to fill any gaps; - providing examples of and advising on best practice examples of transformational change programmes, including how to equip existing teams to take it forward through capability building and provision of e.g. templates and example products; - baselining the people and capability requirements for this work; - developing a work programme to prepare for the next CSR round, specifically around capability and skills development at an organisation-wide level.
