Project, programme and change management toolkit

Project, programme and change management is a broad area and so this content has been structured under nine headings.

The following content helps local authorities and other public sector organisations establish a culture of strong project and programme management skills.

Such a culture increases an organisation's overall capacity to deliver change. Information includes guidance, case studies and methodologies that are all available to download. If appropriate, they can be adapted to suit specific needs.
