Intuitive Program & Project Management
Richard Hale · April 2026
Traditional methodologies provide an important foundation for program and project management, but they cannot anticipate every challenge encountered within complex organisations.
This white paper introduces ACG's practical framework for reviewing management and delivery challenges through four dimensions:
PeopleCapability, capacity, role clarity and ownership
InformationProblem clarity, dependencies and shared understanding
OutcomesA clear end state, tracked progress and the risks that matter
ContextCulture, governance pathways and external influences
The framework supports a structured understanding of organisational issues, their underlying causes and the development of practical responses suited to the operating environment.
Paper
The Marriage of Corporate Governance & Project Management
Richard J. Hale · April 2014
This paper examines the relationship between corporate governance and project management and argues that governance arrangements must extend beyond policies and general statements of responsibility.
It explores how established project management disciplines can help organisations translate governance obligations into practical responsibilities, measurable actions, transparent reporting and effective oversight.
The paper advocates greater individual accountability and improved information flows as important foundations of effective organisational governance.
