Portfolio Management & Governance provides national oversight and governance to ensure policing initiatives deliver maximum value and align with strategic priorities. It supports forces and partners in prioritising demand, managing capacity, portfolio risk oversight, interdependency management and planning portfolios to optimise investment and reduce duplication.
How it works
The service includes national assurance reporting and delivery assurance through health checks, performance dashboards and reporting, supported by standards, templates and delivery training. This proactive approach identifies risks early, promotes accountability, and enables informed decision-making to drive successful outcomes.
Benefits
- Enhanced strategic alignment by prioritising initiatives that deliver the greatest value.

Use cases
For a major case management system rollout, we established appropriate governance and provided delivery assurance through health checks and performance reporting, enabling stakeholders to identify risks early, make informed decisions, and take corrective actions where necessary.
This approach ensured resources were focused on the highest-value initiatives, delivery risks and interdependencies were managed effectively and initiatives were delivered on time and within scope.
