In order to successfully undertake a programme of large transformation it is critical to ensure the organisation is prepared and have sufficient capability in place to carry out the change. Such things as ensuring the existing BAU and regulatory change projects / initiatives have been rightsized and prioritised to free up time and resource to support transformation. Embarking on a transformation requires an assessment on the right levels of capability and resourcing required to support the change. Making sure that the existing operating model and supporting business processes are well defined and documented to a level which will ensure easier transition through the transformation as the operating model will inevitably change. Ensuring the relevant governance is in place to support the programme along with a robust programme change framework and supporting set of services are in place. An overall business case will need to be established prior to the programme being established, specifying the overall cost vs benefits over a set period of time e.g. 5 or 10 years. Overall networking and infrastructure will also need to be fit for purpose to support the transformation especially in enabling the delivery phase of the programme.​

Key areas of focus for transformation:​

• Resource and capability assessment​
• Right size and prioritise existing portfolios of change​
• Clear definition of existing operating model and supporting key processes​
• Develop governance and supporting PMO/TMO to support ​
• Define a clear and agreed business case and associated budgets​
• Ensure programme delivery framework is in place and fit for purpose​
• Preparation for any RFP / procurement to support the transformation​
• Define clear budget control and tracking.
