Priorities of the Welsh Assembly Government

Priority Projects Team

They are in place to help deliver on what is seen as a priority for the 'new' government.

...to ensure efficient delivery of the top priorities that have been decided on by the fairly new government in Cardiff Bay. It's high-profile work, but mainly carried out by people who have - on one side - plenty of experience in project management and on the other - people which have dabbled in project management during their day job. It has been described by one insider as a team of 22 staff managing a variety of 14 projects over a period of two years; by another, as a team of staff put together as a project itself.

Priorities include:

Internal Communication, Laptop roll-out to kids, work on new legislation competence orders (LCOs).

.

Sounds like a tall-order for staff of a small number when priorities shift so quickly. What happens when things go wrong as they generally do with project work? Is there any back up for a small team or are consultants brought in, adding to the cost?

It's my guess that we'll find out in the media or by leaks from the usual places.
