Authority to Deliver | A Realistic Guide to UK Public Sector IT Project & Programme Delivery
Shahid Malik
Senior Project & Programme Manager | UK Public Sector Transformation
Why This Book Is Different
Most project management books teach frameworks.
This resource teaches reality.
Drawing on more than 25 years of delivering major technology transformation across UK policing, government and healthcare, Authority to Deliver explains how governance, funding, procurement, assurance, suppliers, politics and stakeholder management really work inside UK public sector programmes.
You'll learn how experienced delivery leaders navigate Programme Boards, Treasury approvals, IPA Gate Reviews, commercial suppliers, operational pressures and organisational politics—knowledge normally gained only after years on complex programmes.
Whether you're an aspiring Project Manager or an experienced Programme Manager, this guide will help you deliver with greater confidence, credibility and authority.
