ABSTRACT
In my last assignment, I was part of a program review committee where my role was to evaluate the management and governance approach being proposed by the vendor. It was a turnkey initiative to combine multiple entities of the government department in order to remove the duplication of efforts, unify shared services under excellence centers, and improve organizational efficiency. The program had a five-year timeline. However, while reviewing the governance approach, the program had four stage gate reviews. A five-year program and only four stage gate reviews?
