Digital and Technology Spend Controls Pipeline Implementation

Digital and Technology Spend Controls Pipeline Implementation

This service involves our consultants working closely with your senior leadership, portfolio assurance and spending delivery teams and with key Cabinet Office representatives to design and implement the Controls Pipeline process within your organisation that is fully aligned to your strategies, priorities and portfolio spending needs.

Lantos has developed a proven method to implement the Controls Pipeline process that has been utilised successfully within multiple government departments over the last two years. 

The Controls Pipeline process is implemented using an Agile approach and we work collaboratively within your organisation and involve Cabinet Office (Central Digital and Data Office, CDDO) representatives. This follows a three phase Agile process, which is:

  • Discovery phase to review and gain a clear and detailed understanding of the organisation portfolio and investment governance, processes, and DDaT spending portfolio to inform the most effective approach to use within the Alpha phase. 
  • Alpha phase involves the establishment of core Pipeline governance, developing a central portfolio assurance team and implementing a tactical assurance process to aid the organisation with adopting and applying new DDaT assurance practices to use the Controls Pipeline process. 
  • Beta phase, we build and mature the Pipeline process and capability within the organisation which includes establishing all the Pipeline governance forums; implementing Pipeline Assessments; and practicing knowledge transfer including training/coaching sessions for DDaT portfolio assurance team members and spending team leads.

This service is delivered by senior assurance specialists with a proven track record gained from implementing the DDaT Controls Pipeline process into departments such as BEIS, HMRC, Defra and FCDO.

Our consultants have extensive experience from working in Cabinet Office (Central Digital and Data Office and Government Digital Service) as ex-Senior Technology Advisors gained working across numerous UK Central Government government departments and agencies.

We have a comprehensive understanding of HMT and Cabinet Office functional policies, procedures and practices to ensure the Controls Pipeline process is designed and implemented effectively to reflect and align with your organisational needs, governance and processes.
