Operating a PMO/PMO-as-a Service

 

If project management is not a core competency, consider outsourcing the PMO. GPMS works in partnership with you to understand your goals and establish a structure that will achieve them. We will evaluate what you currently have in place and will subsidize as required. Or, if preferred, can utilize our customizable toolkit of proven techniques and methodologies. Constant communication, incorporating organizational change management, is crucial to the success and is a core tenet of our PMO operating model. Performance measures are collectively established upfront with you, and progress toward established goals is continually evaluated via quality and performance reviews.

​

When it comes to running projects, most organizations face one or both of two key challenges. The first is that the project brings together a disparate group of people with varied skills who may or may not have worked together before and they all have their own (occasionally entrenched) ways of working. In addressing this, businesses typically establish a Project Management Office (PMO) a business function that specifies, manages and reports on projects within the organization. Businesses also frequently encounter a second challenge, realizing the return on investment for this sometimes-costly venture. Alleviating Project Management Office headaches failed, or poorly delivered projects leave executives facing many project shortcomings. These include:

 

  • Cost overruns

  • Timescale overruns

  • Uncontrolled scope

  • Unsatisfactory control and reporting

  • Non-compliance with business standards and/or legislation

 

Do you want your Project Management Office (PMO) to become a more strategic element of your business? A key component that enables you to focus on innovation, organizational change management, stakeholder engagement and the facilitation of a more agile, responsive enterprise? To resolve these project management challenges, global companies are increasingly embracing outsourcing across a wider range of front and back office to help transform their businesses. The reason? In addition to significant cost savings, Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) has become a lever for driving business growth and innovation.
