Stand up or reset a PMO

Intake, priorities and reporting your own team can run.

Call us when:

You're hiring a new PMO leader.
Your PMO is overwhelmed.
You want contractor-run work in-house.

What the work involves:

Work alongside your PMO leader.
Building one front door for requests, a business case template and a prioritization model.
Setting up governance leaders will actually use, such as a steering group, health reporting and standards.
Defining roles and a meeting rhythm, teaching business leaders how to use the new process, then stepping away once it runs without us.

What your team brings:

A PMO leader, new hire or existing, who builds alongside us and owns the result.
An executive sponsor and the leaders who will sit on the steering group.
Business leads who bring work through the front door.
Time for a few short working sessions.

What you leave with:

One front door for requests. Governance leaders actually use. Roles and a rhythm your team owns.

Tangible outputs:

Intake process and templates
Prioritization model
Governance charter
Reporting views
Roles and operating rhythm

Relevant experience:

Built an enterprise PMO from scratch and moved delivery from contractors to an internal team.
Stood up intake, scoring and a steering committee, then taught business leaders to use them through a regular forum.
Selected and rolled out a project management platform, moving work already in flight onto it.

Every engagement includes the team itself.

How people work together, where alignment could be stronger, and what would help them do their best work.

What's stuck in the middle of yours?

A first conversation is about listening: what you're trying to land, and where it's getting stuck.
