Miranda Craig, Director of Strategy and Change at the Financial Reporting Council, shares how they recognised the tipping point for change, and why a PPM platform became essential to future-proofing their programme delivery.

This episode dives into the challenges faced by the FRC, how they chose the right solution, and what transformation looks like in practice.

Join Laura Watts and Simon Hall as they interview Miranda about following the guidance that suits them, and using a tool that understands those frameworks, their initial challenges, how they are rolling out the platform with their people and their processes in mind and how they seem to be doing it just right!

In this episode of the PPM Playbook Podcast, we dive into one of the most critical, and often overlooked, aspects of successful project portfolio management: training. But we’re not just talking about how to use a new platform; we’re talking about why it’s being brought in, how it benefits the individual user, and what it means for the organisation as a whole.

Host Laura Watts is joined by two of Verto’s seasoned experts, Craig Dixon and Simon Hall, to explore how effective training goes beyond system walkthroughs to embed real, lasting change. We’ll discuss the importance of building a culture of learning, how to tailor training to different teams, and why understanding the “why” is just as important as knowing the “how.”

If your organisation is looking to drive adoption, increase confidence, and maximise the value of your PPM platform, this episode is your blueprint.

In this episode of the PPM Playbook Podcast, we discuss the benefits of bringing in a PPM platform to support the business needs but when is it the right time to do so? How do organisations know that this is the next step to take?

These questions and more lead us into the rabbit hole of what defines a project anyway, and beyond!
