DELIVERING TRANSFORMATION INITIATIVES
Adding Value to Program & Project Management
In the complex environment of the Life Sciences, conventional program & project management organizations (PMO) fall short. Lack of approach, content and technological know-how leads to a lack of authority and acceptance. Our Value PMO service secures the successful delivery of transformation initiatives.
Why conventional PMO services fail in complex environments
4 reasons for failure
Lack of approach
PMOs struggle with efficiently combining waterfall and agile approaches in regulated environments.
Lack of content
Many PMOs are only focusing on methodology.
Lack of authority
Where to start? The full inventory of use cases is prioritized by high value & low cost/complexity.
Lack of acceptance
Complex projects require a different PMO skill set to gain stakeholder acceptance and add value.
