Establishing new authorities
Programme structures, governance, board arrangements, responsibilities, capability and resource requirements. A practical mobilisation roadmap connecting organisational establishment with operational readiness.
ABOUT THREE OAKS
Helping organisations mobilise,
change and deliver.
Senior programme leadership, governance and assurance for central government departments, agencies, wider public bodies, Combined Authorities, local authorities and their delivery partners.
PROGRAMME DELIVERY & ASSURANCE
Structure, leadership and capacity to deliver.
Government reform, new authorities, organisational change and investment programmes bring together public funding, public accountability, multiple partners and the need to maintain services.
Three Oaks provides the mobilisation, delivery leadership, governance and independent assurance needed to turn those responsibilities into organised implementation.
Where Three Oaks fits.
Three Oaks is a specialist programme delivery and assurance consultancy. We help public bodies turn policy, funding and organisational ambitions into programmes with clear ownership, realistic plans and the capacity to deliver.
For central government departments, agencies and wider public bodies, we provide programme leadership and specialist capacity for reform, technology and service change. We connect business cases, procurement, suppliers, governance and operational readiness with the practical work of implementation.
For Combined Authorities, Combined County Authorities and local authorities, this includes establishing new authorities, mobilising statutory programmes, strengthening investment governance and implementing local-government transformation and reorganisation. Across our work, we connect people, resources, suppliers and delivery activities while recognising public accountability, constrained capacity and existing service responsibilities.
An approach built around implementation.
Understand the requirement
Clarify the ambition, statutory and organisational context, delivery stage, constraints and decisions required.
Put structure around it
Connect governance, plans, roles, resources and dependencies. Agree how departments, agencies, councils, advisers and suppliers will work together.
Provide the capability
Bring together programme leaders, project managers, business analysts, PMO and specialist expertise around an agreed scope, with senior oversight.
Maintain delivery discipline
Keep progress, risks and decisions visible. Resolve obstacles, test readiness and plan for transition, handover or the next phase.
Breadth behind the delivery.
Our team’s experience includes HMCTS and Ministry of Justice reform, FCO/FCDO programmes, Ministry of Defence workforce transformation and Government Property Agency delivery. These are assignments undertaken during team members’ careers, including before joining Three Oaks, and are described in our team profiles and wider experience.
Founded and led by Stephen Wiseman, Three Oaks combines senior programme expertise with an experienced associate network. Clients can engage an individual specialist, a dedicated team or a managed service with Three Oaks accountable for an agreed scope.
Based in Aughton, West Lancashire, we work nationally, both directly with client organisations and as the implementation partner to advisory and technical consultancies.
