Ergo is a Business Change and Programme Management Consultancy that provides consultancy services to whole of business programmes. Ergo has over 15 years experience working with a blue chip client base managing complex business change programmes with budgets of up to £50M.
The ability to manage change is now viewed by many organisations as a core competence. Large organisations manage many strategic programmes, projects and tactical initiatives in parallel. As a result it can prove difficult to maintain visibility of which changes are landing where or when, and potential conflicts go unnoticed until it is too late. Ergo developed the Enterprise PACE programme in order to provide Executives with visibility of the impact of change on their customers, departments and processes. It has been described by our customers as "providing air traffic control for business change". The Enterprise PACE application and methodology is used to integrate all the implementation activities from both project plans and tactical initiatives in order to develop change runways for key customers, departments, processes or systems. www.ergogroup.co.uk
