Howard Bethell
Dragon Programme Management is an independent programme and project management practice based in Harrogate, North Yorkshire

Established in 2007, we work through a network of trusted project and programme associates who provide a very wide range of experience across industries, business sectors and project and programme disciplines

Ethos

    First and foremost we consider ourselves a practice rather than a consultancy - some don’t think it important to make that distinction but we do

    Our specialism is project and programme delivery - we’re happy to offer an advice and consultation service if that’s what you require but what we’re best at is making things happen

    The sort of organisations we want to work with are those looking for sensible, workable solutions to project and programme delivery

    We’re not about a “one size fits all” set of rules - what we offer is practical and appropriate assistance in getting projects delivered. Focussing on project and programme outcomes we will spend time with you defining an effective management approach that is going to provide the best set of results for your organisation

    We firmly believe that project and programme delivery does not need to be either difficult or bureaucratic

Services

    Programme delivery

    Our core business

    Our work in this area covers all bases from total programme design and management to providing existing projects and programmes a renewed sense of direction and impetus

    We will work with your management team to understand what it is you are looking to achieve from your projects, how best your organisation deals with change and determine a solution that will ensure delivery

    We can create delivery teams from scratch, taking into consideration the specific requirements of a particular programme or we can integrate with existing project and programme management organisations providing leadership, direction and dedicated, focussed attention

    We have an exceptional record of success and a range of client references to support this claim

    Resourcing solutions

    Finding the right people with the right attitude and skills is the key to success in projects and programmes

    Working through our network of trusted project and programme professionals we believe we have something unique to offer in this area

    Most traditional recruitment businesses struggle to understand what it is that makes an effective project or programme manager as their methods and selection techniques drive them towards candidates who list the appropriate qualifications

    We believe that our day to day involvement in project and programme delivery keeps us very much in touch with the reality of what it takes to get projects and programmes delivered

    Our differentiation in this area is we will only recommend candidates who we have first hand experience of working alongside, or who have been directly recommended to us by our first hand network

    Programme & project health checks

    Sometimes things don’t work out quite how you had anticipated

    If this is the case and you think you might benefit from a fresh pair of eyes we can tailor a project or programme health check to suit your particular circumstances
