ABOUT THREE OAKS
Senior programme leadership and specialist delivery capacity, shaped around the needs of each commission.
Three Oaks works where strategy, policy or investment direction has been established and the challenge is to make implementation happen. We help sponsors translate that intent into a structured, governed and deliverable programme.
Founded and led by Stephen Wiseman, Three Oaks brings together programme mobilisation, delivery leadership, governance and independent assurance. Our experience combines recent Combined Authority commissions with wider leadership across central government, utilities, transport and financial services.
Based in Aughton, West Lancashire, we support clients nationally. We work directly with client organisations and alongside advisory and technical consultancies, providing the leadership and capacity needed to take their work into delivery.
Clarify the ambition, delivery stage, constraints and decisions required. Establish the scope and the outcomes the commission needs to support.
Connect governance, plans, roles, resources and dependencies. Agree how client teams, advisers and suppliers will work together.
Bring together the programme leadership and complementary specialist skills needed for the assignment, with clear responsibilities and oversight.
Keep progress, risks and decisions visible. Address obstacles and plan for transition, handover or the next stage of the programme.
Our work is relevant wherever change crosses organisational, operational or technical boundaries. That includes public-sector investment and mobilisation, local-government transformation, service operating models, utilities and other regulated environments.
Transport is one part of that experience. The underlying capability is programme leadership: bringing people, governance, plans and resources together so complex change can be implemented.
