Our goal is to provide you with a measurably better PMO for less than it currently costs you.
In order to give you the most cost-effective solution, we need to know a little more information about your organisation and its change function, such as the scale, nature and sophistication of your current change programmes. That way we can craft a PMO service that is big on the functionality you need to meet your ambitions and small on cost.
A PMO is the team that sets project management standards within an organisation. Traditionally, its goal was to achieve benefits from standardising documentation, assurance and reporting across project delivery. Yet the meaning of PMO is evolving. It has an important role today in ensuring the consistency of decision making, best practice delivery, managing risk and budgetary management.
