MSP Training - The history of MSP

The office of Government Commerce has developed a practice guide on programme management called Managing Successful Programmes (MSP) published by TSO. The guide comprises a set of principles and set of processes for use when managing a programme. MSP training is a methodology that comprises a set of principles and processes for use when managing a programme. A programme is madeup of a specific set of projects identified by an organization that together will deliver some defined objective, or set of objectives, for the of the organization. The objectives or goals of the programme are typically at a strategic level so that the organization can achieve benefits and improvements in its business operation. MSP training has been used and adopted within many organizations both within the public and private sectors.

The experiences of those who have adopted programme management have provided invaluable inputs into the latest edition of the guide which was published in 2007. Today’s organizations exist in a climate of constant and increasing change. Organisations that have learned how to transform themselves through effective leadership and strategic control are more likely to survive and prosper. Programme management is increasingly being recognized as key to enabling organizations to manage that transformation. Where there is major change there will be complexity, risk, many interdependencies to manage, and conflicting priorities to resolve. Experience shows that organizations are likely to fail to deliver change successfully where: 1) there is insufficient board-level support. 2) leadership is weak.3) There are unrealistic expectations of the organizational capacity and capability to change. 4) There is insufficient focus on benefits. 5) There is no real picture of the future capability. 6) There is a poorly defined or poorly communicated vision. 7) The organization fails to change culture 8) There is insufficient engagement of stakeholders.
