Program & Project Management

PMO Services

Our clients depend on high quality and timely execution of strategic programs in order to transform their businesses.  Our PMO Services go beyond methodology, traditional certifications, and tools.  We tailor our solutions to the needs and capabilities of our clients and ensure that programs deliver timely results and sustainable, measurable business value.

We understand that there is no single approach or methodology that works for all clients.  While we often bring our own assets and experience to accelerate establishment of a PMO (PMO “in-a-box”), we also work effectively with the client’s methods and processes (DMAIC, PMBOK, Agile, and more).  Our flexibility enables us to collaboratively work with your in-house PMO or take on the full PMO responsibility throughout your business’ lifecycle – from strategic planning, business valuation and portfolio selection & planning to portfolio management, project execution and benefits realization.

Change Management

Change is never easy.  Our clients must ensure that the impacts on their business and people are well planned and managed throughout any major program.  Our Change Management services help clients address the workforce transition, communication, organizational and governance issues that are part of any large-scale strategic program.  We help our clients prepare their workforce for what is coming, avoid unnecessary turnover, maintain momentum throughout the implementation, and sustain the business benefits of the transformation program post implementation. 

Program Improvement & Metrics

Many organizations struggle to measure the results delivered by large-scale transformation programs.  CG’s Program Improvement & Metrics services help our clients put in place the measurement and reporting tools that help them monitor the performance of a program, identify key risk areas, and ultimately measure the business impact of a program. 

To obtain strategic alignment between the business and a program throughout the project lifecycle, we help you identify your key internal stakeholders across the business, technology, operations, risk, and finance teams.  Then we transform them into active participants in the process.  We work with the stakeholders to create a model to track benefits against business case predictions, and measure actual benefits of the project returned against values defined in the business case.

All of this allows us to quickly improve PMO performance in the short-term while looking more in depth to ensure that root-cause issues are uncovered and addressed long-term.
