Welcome to the International Centre for Programme Management (ICPM)

The International Centre for Programme Management at Cranfield, in partnership with HP Enterprise Services and a core research group of invited organisations, is dedicated to expanding programme and project management knowledge. Our mission is to establish world-class programme management practices and the context in which they can flourish.

Unique in our approach

We believe that successful programme management is fundamental to delivery of both core business and major change in organisations.  Key to successful delivery are "intelligent clients" and "intelligent providers": clients and providers who can draw from best practice the intelligence to design and execute programmes effectively.

Unique in the way we work

Our research starts with a management problem, e.g. how to deal with increasing complexity.  We then explore the existing knowledge base to find suitable solutions and carry out research where gaps in the knowledge are identified.

Research is necessary, but it is not sufficient to tackle such problems; solutions must be tried and tested with practitioners.  From research conducted with industry partners we develop a range of management products (new processes, education, briefings, training, simulations and workshops) that we then prototype and test.

Unique in our capability

We can call on the expertise of world-class researchers and lead practitioners to effect change and progress.  Cranfield has one of the largest faculty groups in this area in the world, who utilise the access provided by our research partners to good effect.

This website will tell you more about who we are and what we are doing.  Please get in touch if you would like to discuss what we can do for you.
