Program Management

Our senior team of consulting directors and program managers has a proven track record when it comes to managing complex enterprise programs. They are adept at managing large, dispersed teams and sorting out interdependent timelines and resource requirements. They couple deep business expertise with broad technology awareness. Their first task is working with the executive team to define an appropriate technology roadmap. This roadmap must then be translated into a series of actionable initiatives and a high-level milestone plan. At that point, the interdependencies can be identified and the program manager works with individual project teams to define project plans that can be tracked against a standardized set of interim milestones.

In program management, interim re-planning is more the rule than the exception. There are normally several options for working past the inevitable bumps in the road. The program manager must quickly articulate the pros and cons of the viable options so that the executive team can make informed decisions about how to move forward.

Our program management offerings include:

• PMO Jumpstart – A fast-track approach to getting better visibility into your project portfolio or integrated program of initiatives.
• Enterprise Program Management Framework – A unified and agile approach to managing complex business initiatives. Our seasoned Program Managers can help you manage multiple solution vendors, multiple stakeholder groups, and geographically dispersed project teams.
• IT Governance – Now more than ever, IT can’t be a black box, with all decisions delegated to the IT leadership team. We can help you craft a governance approach that provides the right visibility to other members of the executive team so that informed business decisions can be made about the corporate infrastructure and application portfolio.
• Program Leadership – If your project throughput is not where you need it to be, or you are struggling with sorting out competing resource demands, we can provide a skilled Program Manager to help you get things moving in the right direction.
