Travel Programme Evaluation
A clear assessment of where you stand and what to improve.
I review how your organisation manages business travel, including travel worldwide, to provide an independent assessment of your existing arrangements and identify practical opportunities for improvement.
The evaluation covers the areas we agree are most relevant to your organisation. You receive a written report with findings and prioritised recommendations to help you decide what to improve first.
You work directly with me, Alan Athey. I deliver evaluations remotely, working primarily with client offices in the UK, Europe and North America to review their global travel programmes.
What the evaluation covers
I assess how your Travel Management Company and other travel suppliers support your organisation, including service delivery, reporting and responsiveness.
Supplier performance
I review available spending data, supplier charges and commercial arrangements to assess value for money and identify practical opportunities for improvement, taking account of the service your organisation receives.
Spend and commercial value
I bring the findings together into practical recommendations, highlighting the priorities and next steps for your organisation.
Priorities for improvement
I review your travel policy, approval processes and internal responsibilities to identify gaps, unnecessary complexity and opportunities to make arrangements clearer.
Policy and internal processes
I assess how well your booking tools and support arrangements meet the needs of your travellers, including ease of use and the handling of changes or problems.

How the evaluation works
We discuss your priorities and agree the areas to review, the information needed, the timescale and the fee before work begins.
Agree the scope
I review the agreed documents and available data, and speak with the relevant people to understand how your travel programme works in practice.
Review your arrangements
I explain the findings and recommendations, discuss the priorities with you and help you identify practical next steps.
You receive a written report setting out the findings and prioritised recommendations, giving your organisation a clear basis for deciding what to improve first.
Discuss findings and next steps
You can use the recommendations to guide improvements with your own team and existing travel providers.
If you would like help putting the recommendations into practice, we can discuss a separate engagement, including Fractional Travel Management where ongoing support would be useful.
What happens after the evaluation?
Would an independent review help your organisation?
