The GCOO Projects & Partnerships department is responsible for end-to-end management and governance of large-scale and multi-phased projects, mostly cutting across multiple business lines, enablement units and third parties.

The default scope of the team are those programs which are mandated by GCOO due to heavy Operational / Tech effort involved; however, it is not limited to those, provided EXCO direction to take on any additional responsibility.

Moreover, the Projects & Partnerships Department can provide project management support other programs led by internal teams and/or 3rd parties such as central bank or any other important stakeholder like an EXCO-appointed consultant.

The programs are expected to encompass all elements of the program management, all the way from conceptualization to post-go-live monitoring and change management.

The department may or may not own the execution responsibility of all initiatives across the phases of the program given the complexity and bandwidth requirement.

In case a third party or a cross-functional team has been appointed for execution of the initiatives, accountability will still rest on the Projects & Partnerships department and a proper governance mechanism will be put in place to timely steer any derailment from scope or insufficient speed of delivery.
