The BDC Workbench. Deployable, sector-specific, owned by you.
A single, evidence-based picture of your delivery capability, measured against a clear standard for what good looks like. Not an opinion. Not a maturity badge from a consultant who leaves with the knowledge. A standard, tailored to your sector, that your own team runs and re-runs whenever you choose.
Three capabilities. One standard. One picture.
Form a new portfolio, programme or project the right way from the start, or assess one already running, at any level. See the weakest themes, what inaction risks, and a remediation plan sequenced by dependency, so effort goes where it will actually build capability. Mobilise a contractor on a won commission with a baselined plan that flags its risks. Measure your people against the demand of their role. And track it all over time, from baseline to now, for the board, the regulator and the client.
Assess the work
See, on evidence, whether your portfolios, programmes and projects are set up to succeed. A weighted score, a heatmap by theme, and exactly what to fix first.
Mobilise to deliver
Won a commission or contract? Mobilise the operating model to the standard, in the right order, and prove readiness to the client. Faster to payable outputs.
Grow the people
Portfolios, programmes and projects are delivered by people. Measure them against the demand of their role, across three tiers, from more than one angle, over time.
Form. Assess. Remediate. Re-measure.
The standard defines what a formed portfolio, programme and project needs: the themes, the building blocks and the criteria each one is scored against. The Workbench runs that standard as a loop, so capability becomes something you can see, direct and build deliberately.
Lay the building blocks
To the standard, in dependency order, with a baselined plan and gated progress.
Measure on evidence
Scored, weighted by criticality, rolled up to one position.
Close the gaps
Owned actions, sequenced, closed to evidence.
Prove it moved
Capability rising, tracked over time, snapshot by snapshot.
Every way in builds your own capability. None of them build dependency on ours.
The model is transfer, not retention. Your people learn what good looks like and run the standard themselves, with external involvement reducing to independent calibration. Success looks like you not needing us.
Own the Workbench in-house
The standard and the tool deployed into your organisation, with training for the people who will run it. Your teams form, assess and remediate on demand, and keep the capability.
Find it, fix it, evidence it
BDC runs the formation or assessment on your behalf. A fixed-price assessment of what is actually in place, a sequenced remediation plan, and a re-assessment to evidence the uplift. Weeks, not months.
Review the plan before you commit
Your transformation strategy reviewed against the standard. Does it lay the building blocks, or wrap dates around activity? Fixed fee, from your existing documents.
