This session, held on 22 October 2026, introduced Outcome Certainty, a practical approach to assessing whether a programme is genuinely on track to deliver its approved objectives, rather than simply reporting progress, milestones, or expenditure. Drawing on evidence from over 16,000 major projects, it examined how to identify the conditions required for outcomes to be achieved, assess the extent to which those conditions are supported by evidence, and distinguish proven facts from unsupported assertions. Using existing programme documentation, the method reveals delivery exposure and evaluates whether investments remain aligned with the outcomes they were intended to achieve.
