Best Management Practice Partnership

OGC

The UK government recognised very early on the significance of best practice and created initiatives to identify efficient, successful and reliable approaches to various management disciplines. The Office of Government Commerce, as an office of the HM Treasury, has played a vital role in developing methodologies, processes and frameworks, and establishing these as best practice. These include ITIL, which is now the most widely accepted approach to service management in the world, PRINCE2, a world leading project management methodology, Managing Successful Programmes (MSP) and Management of Risk (M_o_R).

Best Management Practice Partnership

To support its Best Practice guidance, OGC created an innovative and successful partnering arrangement with TSO (as official publisher) and APM Group (as official accreditor). This provides Best Practice users with high quality publications, training, qualification schemes and consultancy services. Through the provision of official accreditation and publishing services, the partners can ensure that quality assured products and services are readily available and easily identified in the ever-expanding best practice marketplace.
