Project Management Offices
Project management offices can be highly effective central repositories, consolidating project expertise in one place, and delivering consistent project outcomes.
However, sometimes a PMO may be required in support of a transient entity, such as a Programme or large project. Sometimes not everyone wants, or can afford, an inhouse PMO.
Our consultants support organisations with ‘pop-up’ PMO’s or those that are struggling to realise a return on investment and build a solid business case for their inhouse project management office.
PMO efficiency
PMO-as-a-Service provides you with a PMO’s facilities and functions but with reduced up-front fixed monthly fees and on-going costs.
It enables you to use pre-defined and configurable processes, governance and tooling, and should support successful, repeatable, delivery outcomes.
Properly designed and shaped for your business, PMO-as-a-Service will offer an agile, responsive engine for your programmes and projects to focus on managing change, engaging stakeholders and delivering innovation.
How we can help
We will work with you to understand what you need from a PMO and develop an appropriate cost-effective but dynamic PMO-as-a-Service solution. That might be a remotely managed PMO-as-a-Service, or a service that you can integrate and manage internally.
The starting point is assessment. This means getting to grips with the kind of PMO-as-a-Service support you need for your projects, based on your organisational culture, project methodologies, processes, and aspirations.
We will evaluate your current state and recommend a proven PMO-as-a-Service model tailored to your environment.
