Adaptive Frameworks understands MSP and is at the forefront of training delivery and consultancy in this framework. We can show you simple steps for: Visualising the future state Preparing a Blueprint of the new organisation Identifying and prioritising projects Managing delivery of the capability Transitioning the outputs into business-as-usual Realising the benefits

Alison - It has been brilliant!!! Our executive have really appreciated the process so far. To be able to demonstrate a systematic approach to such a large and nebulous problem/opportunity in DSTO has really helped us make it happen. Paul Zanelli, DSTO MSP is a framework, it is NOT a methodology. It is about benefits realisation – pure and simple. It must be sold on this basis at Board level. Without Board support, there is no point using MSP. Programmes must add value. There is a lot of overhead and expense in running a programme and if it does not add value, run a big project instead. MSP is suitable for specification led programmes, political and societal change programmes and particularly for business transformation programmes.
