Course Overview

The constraint on multi-year digital programmes is rarely the model or the platform — it is the data and the operating discipline behind it. Technology choices around this area of digital and data-driven work are easy to reverse on paper and expensive to reverse in practice. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on this strand of digital and data-driven work are used deliberately. Every module pairs a short input on multi-year digital programmes with structured practice on the participant's own material. Progress on the practice within digital and data-driven work is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about this part of digital and data-driven work. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better multi-year digital programmes is rarely technical. The programme is built to be used, and every section of the digital and data-driven work discipline it covers ends in something applicable. Participants leave with a plan for this area of digital and data-driven work sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
