Project & Programme Management
Simplify project success
If your organisation’s goals are ambitious, you need more than just a plan—you need someone to manage the complexity and guide the transformation. Whether it’s a single large change or a portfolio of connected initiatives, keeping everything aligned to the main strategic vision is tough. At Herd, our team blends real-world experience and project and programme management expertise (backed by PRINCE2, MSP certifications), with a pragmatic approach to take control of the change, providing the confidence and control needed to deliver complex initiatives effectively.
Our approach delivers strategic alignment and reliable execution by centering on robust stakeholder engagement and effective change management. We provide leaders who translate the board room vision for front line teams, simplify complex decision-making, and ensure every piece of work aligns to the bigger picture. We work side-by-side with your teams to provide practical support and apply structure intelligently, reducing complexity, not adding to it.
Where we make
the biggest impact
Shaping the Blueprint:
We help define success, clarify scope, outline governance and set expectations—creating a clear, aligned path before delivery begins.
The essential up-front work that sets up programmes and projects for success. It’s not about producing documents— it’s building a single shared understanding across stakeholders: defining the true problem, mapping the best the opportunity and charting a clear path forward. Our team clarify scope, outline governance and set expectations—creating a clear, aligned path before delivery begins. Discovery – this phase is where good decisions, good architecture and sustainable pace begin.
Enabling Progress:
Once your programme or project is underway, this is the hands-on support that keeps everything moving forward. We manage delivery through stage controls and progress reviews, ensuring quality outcomes, and proactively managing risk, so teams aren’t distracted by scope creep or unnecessary risks.
Restoring Stability/Back on Track:
Sometimes programmes and projects stall, drift, or simply aren’t where they need to be. This happens for lots of reasons—maybe the initial setup was tricky, priorities shifted, or you’re facing new resource hurdles. Whatever the cause, our leaders step in as experienced partners with a fresh, objective perspective. We quickly uncover the root causes, stabilise the environment, and gently restore healthy collaboration. We help you regain clarity, alignment, and momentum so the team can stop worrying and focus on delivering value again.
Choosing your change leader:
finding the right fit
At Herd, we know a fast-paced product launch needs a different guide than a multi-year digital transformation.
Looking to find your flow? If your team is ready to move faster but needs a bit of help getting there, you need a Delivery Manager. They aren’t ‘overseers’ – they sit within your team, clearing the path, unblocking sprints, and building a rhythm that actually sticks.
Need to navigate, scale complex change? That’s where our PPM Specialists come in. Think of them as the architects who step back to see the whole map. They make sure the big-picture vision stays on track and that twenty different projects feel like one cohesive journey, not a shuffle.
We don’t do ‘off the shelf leadership’ but offer just the right person for the job at hand.
