The challenge.

The Authority needed senior assurance capacity to support robust investment decisions while maintaining a practical understanding of programme deliverability and the requirements placed on sponsoring teams.

The work required independent challenge alongside constructive support for the teams developing investment proposals, with a clear connection between appraisal requirements and the realities of implementation.

Our contribution.

  • Leadership of the Assurance Team within the Authority’s investment environment
  • Independent review and challenge of business cases
  • Investment Board support and portfolio oversight
  • A comprehensive review and rewrite of the Assurance Framework
  • Connecting appraisal with governance, risk, readiness and deliverability

The value delivered.

The assignment provided senior assurance capacity and a revised framework to support consistent appraisal and informed investment decisions.

It demonstrates how Three Oaks combines sound professional judgement, independent challenge and a collaborative approach, helping sponsors and teams address material concerns without losing sight of delivery.
