Custom PMO Design & Implementation
The Challenge
A Top 25 pharmaceutical company approached us with a common problem - one we have seen throughout the industry for years.
- The projects in their portfolio were vast in number and resources were greatly over-committed. Management lacked transparency, as no one role had insight into all the projects in the portfolio.
- Additionally, the client’s approach to project management varied across each project and were dependent on the individual project managers. The lead-time to starting a project was long, and trending longer.
- Everyone was busy and no one had time to address these issues. That’s where Planet Pharma jumped in to help.
The Solution
We used our expertise in three core capability areas to place talented resources that successfully:
- Customized Project Management Office Design and Implementation based on their needs and organizational maturity
- Implemented fit-for-purpose standardized project management processes, measures, quality controls, and tools
- Created lean and transparent project portfolio governance for Senior Management
The Results
The talent we placed quickly developed a project management structure that would provide visibility and oversight to the entire portfolio for optimized project selection and resource management.
- Our contractors inventoried the client’s existing PM processes, measures, quality controls and tools to identify a common set of standard PM practices.
- Using these standard PM practices, our client can now quickly initiate and deliver successful projects.
- Our contractors also implemented a transparent and lean project portfolio governance infrastructure where decision-making aligned with strategic goals. Project status is now reported to key decision-makers, ensuring the successful delivery of the right results.
