Governance & Control

Delivery risk management is an often overlooked yet vital practice that determines a company’s ability to achieve its strategic goals. Effective integrated risk management and risk control allows businesses to seize the great opportunities afforded by positive risks, whilst preparing for and preventing negative risks that could derail even the most well-laid plans.

Appropriate measures can only be established with a deep understanding of a company and its culture. A good risk management framework will align with the business’s strategy and governance, helping to identify and mitigate risks across the organisation. It needs continuous, effective tracking, as well as controlled timely action and frequent communication to key stakeholders.

When risks are managed holistically in this way, businesses can pursue new opportunities with confidence. They have the insight and agility to navigate uncertainties and even use risk to their competitive advantage.

At Piovis, we help companies to build insightful risk management frameworks tailored to their unique challenges and priorities. Our approach is based on a profound analysis of your business and extensive experience helping leading organisations achieve their strategic goals with less risk and more reward. We believe risk management is not about avoiding uncertainty, but embracing it in a smart, controlled way.

A programme management office (PMO) supports the project team and leadership team alike. It does this by providing oversight for changes, underpinned by effective controls and quality standards. PMO teams facilitate better decision making and business direction-to-delivery alignment by assuring scope, costs, risks, and benefits are all assessed.

When used correctly, PMOs can be an invaluable intelligence and advisory centre which gives you the best chance to manage projects and realise strategic goals. An effective PMO is the difference between a good business and a great one.
