TCI provides program management support in an integrated collaborative process to guide the development of sound programs and solutions. We provide market surveys and interoperability working groups for technology enhancement, risk management and program management to provide cost-effective solutions. We propose evolutionary management and development options to meet client and stakeholder guidelines and constraints. TCI considers nine key elements in evaluating assessing and planning any major program. These include:

Governance: The structure, process, and procedure to control operations and changes to performance objectives. Governance must include a set of metrics to indicate the health and progress of the Program in the most vital areas.

Alignment: The program must support a higher level vision, goals and objectives.

Assurance: Verify and validate the program, ensuring adherence to standards and alignment with the vision.

Management: Ensure there are regular reviews, there is accountability, and that management of projects, stakeholders and suppliers is in place.

Integration: Ensure that component parts fit together properly to make the intended whole. Optimize performance across the program value chain, functionally and technically.

Finances: Track basic costs together with wider costs of administering the program.

Infrastructure: Allocation of resources influences the cost and success of the program. Infrastructure might cover offices, version control, and IT.

Planning: Develop the plan bringing together the information on projects, resources, timescales, monitoring and control.

Improvement: Continuously assess performance; research and develop new capabilities; and systemically apply learning and knowledge to the program.
