P3 Management in Practice, Transformation by Design
Grounded in extensive experience leading, designing, supporting, and independently assuring organisational change, primarily across the UK public sector, and complemented by related work in private and mixed-economy environments.
Transformation literature is rich in detailed, method-specific frameworks - portfolio, programme, project, risk, service, and value management - each with its own language and tools. Those texts exist elsewhere. This book does not replicate them. It connects and integrates their core concepts into a coherent, higher-level delivery management framework and practice guide designed to enable shared understanding and collective application.
P3 Management in Practice is a reference for those seeking, leading, or delivering organisational change who require calibrated guidance to inform sound decision-making without theoretical abstraction or rigid application. It emphasises integration and professional judgement applied under real-world conditions. It addresses the full change lifecycle, from strategy development, portfolio selection and prioritisation, pipeline management, discovery, initiation, design, and approvals, through delivery, transition, adoption, value realisation, to closure.
It also reflects how enduring fiscal restraint is reshaping public-sector delivery: where responsibility sits, how internal capability is configured, and how external capability is used in support. This book is not prescriptive about resourcing, but it recognises the fiscal realities and the implications for future resouring strategy.
Meet the Author
I specialise in the design of transformation management systems, spanning strategic planning, opportunity evaluation, portfolio selection and prioritisation, change-readiness assessment and delivery optimisation, underpinned by proportionate governance, and assurance independent of delivery*.
I have designed transformation-enabling CPMO infrastructures, and led or supported delivery across the full delivery lifecycle, including discovery and feasibility, investment cases and approvals, solutions design and planning, execution, progress reporting and assurance, service transition, adoption and outcomes-driven value realisation.
My emphasis is on proportionality in governance, methods, and delivery assurance - *no heavier than the decisions they exist to support, and no lighter than the risks they are intended to manage.
