You may need more than an every-day project manager.

Through our Program Leadership services, we can provide you a seasoned leader and strategic intermediary — someone with the experience, stamina, and diplomatic savvy to deliver strategic programs across your enterprise.

Chief Of Staff Services

Do all your projects align to organizational goals? Is everyone rowing in the same direction? Chiefs of Staff are on the rise in corporate spheres for executives, Lines of Business leaders, and project sponsors. Chiefs of staff can supervise and orchestrate communications with staff; serve as a stakeholder liaison; provide advisory services and consultation (ideally as a third party); can help drive projects; and more.

Let's Talk If:
  1. You are overburdened by tasks that detract from strategic priorities.
  2. Operational and organizational lack cohesiveness and rhythm.
  3. Cross-team communications are often missed, misunderstood, or ignored.

System Integration

Are you implementing an enterprise-wide application? Over half of ERP programs run over budget and behind schedule. An outright failure can cost millions. Our System Integration program leaders bring experience and objectivity to the oversight of high-risk integrations.

Let's Talk If:
  1. A product vendor is trying to wear the program manager hat.
  2. Total system integration cost is a mystery.
  3. System rollouts require coordination across multiple divisions and/or regions.

Project Resource Planning

Do you have the right players in-house? Are you leveraging third-party labor the right way? Are you lost when it comes to picking an implementation partner? Our Project Resource Planning can help you define and manage a comprehensive resource strategy for the program.

Let's Talk If:
  1. Unqualified personnel are costing you time and money.
  2. There is resistance and territorialism with resource sharing.
  3. The program is not tracking cross-project resource allocation.

Performance & Benefits Monitoring

Is your program on course? And even if so, will the end result provide the benefit you expected? When managing multiple, interrelated projects, you need a “control tower” view. Performance & Benefits Monitoring tracks both overall performance and benefits realization.

Let's Talk If:
  1. You lack consistent, quality, and actionable reporting.
  2. There are no Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for benefits realization.
  3. An internal or external change may have impacted project value.

Project Health Assessments

Projects that seem stable can still go sideways, usually at the worst time. Our Project Health Assessments are invaluable for either routine Performance Monitoring, or ad-hoc audits. They provide a root cause diagnosis, and a prognosis (or likelihood) for project recovery.

Let's Talk If:
  1. You are unsure whether your projects are truly "healthy".
  2. Failure symptoms are not being tied to the right causes.
  3. You're unsure whether to recover or abandon a failing project.

Continual Improvement

Are you taking advantage of active programs and projects to develop your own, unique operational approach to project delivery? With an eye on Continual Improvement, our program leaders can define and coordinate a Capability Maturity improvement initiative.

Let's Talk If:
  1. Your organization, department, or team is new to project work.
  2. Projects are slowed by missing or outdated process documentation.
  3. You need an actionable, Capability Maturity assessment and plan.
