Our Services
Strategy
CLARITY FROM THE START
We approach strategy as more than a paper exercise and bring decades of ICT program leadership to designing strategies that translate vision into achievable outcomes. Our work covers business case development, program blueprints, operating models, and procurement approaches, always shaped with clarity, compliance, and stakeholder alignment in mind. We focus on building the right foundations so delivery is both achievable and sustainable.
Business case strategy
Building the foundation for investment decisions
We develop robust, evidence based business cases that articulate clear benefits, costs, and risks. Our approach ensures decision makers have the clarity and confidence to commit resources to the right initiatives.
Program planning
Balancing ambition with achievable delivery
Our program plans set realistic timelines, milestones, and dependencies, aligning delivery pace with organisational capacity while maintaining focus on priority outcomes.
Program design & blueprint
Creating a clear path from vision to delivery
We translate strategic objectives into a practical design and blueprint that defines scope, outcomes, governance, and sequencing, ensuring every step contributes to the end goal.
Procurement strategy
Securing value through smart acquisition
We design procurement approaches that comply with government frameworks, deliver best value for money, and attract the right delivery partners to achieve program success.
Delivery
DRIVING DELIVERY WITH DELIBERATE INTENT
Program delivery at Actum Consulting is deliberate, disciplined, and outcome focused. With leadership experience across some of Australia’s most complex ICT transformations, we know how to turn strategy into results. We embed the right governance, adopt fit-for-purpose delivery methods like SAFe or Agile, and lead teams through start-up, transition, and execution. Our delivery leadership ensures programs maintain momentum, adapt effectively, and realise both their strategic intent and operational benefits.
Program Increment (PI) planning
Delivering value in structured stages
We use Program Increment (PI) planning to coordinate teams, align priorities, and deliver tangible outcomes in predictable cycles, ensuring momentum and adaptability.
Governance design
Ensuring clarity in decision making and oversight
We design governance structures that define roles, responsibilities, and escalation paths, enabling timely, informed decisions that keep delivery on track.
SAFe Agile adoption
Embedding modern delivery practices and ways of working
We help organisations adopt and embed SAFe and Agile ways of working that promote collaboration, transparency, and continuous improvement across delivery teams.
Program delivery and leadership
Guiding complex transformations to success
Our experienced leaders provide direction, resolve delivery challenges, and maintain alignment between delivery teams and strategic objectives.
Assurance
TRUSTED ADVICE WHEN IT MATTERS MOST
We are not a generalist or a revolving door panel of reviewers. Instead, we combine decades of ICT program leadership with proven assurance expertise to help government programs succeed. Our assurance services are grounded in real-world delivery experience, independence, and a deep understanding of Australian Government Gateway and other gated assurance frameworks. This ensures leaders are provided with practical, evidence based advice they can trust and act on.
Delivery Confidence Reviews (DCA)
Objective advice before moving forward
We provide structured, independent assessments at key points in the program lifecycle to confirm readiness and identify risks before committing to the next stage.
Health Checks
Keeping delivery performance on track
Our health checks assess delivery progress, governance effectiveness, and benefit realisation, offering practical recommendations to address emerging issues.
External independent advisory
Bringing an impartial perspective
We advise boards, executives, and program leaders with independent insights that help strengthen decision making and build stakeholder confidence.
Rescue and Recovery
Stabilising and resetting challenged programs and projects
We work with leadership and delivery teams to address critical issues, reset priorities, and restore delivery confidence so that outcomes remain achievable.
