Program & Project Management Case Study

This large multinational organization with complex business objectives and competing initiatives demanded more PMO support. The PMO was challenged with having the business understanding and functional depth required to accelerate confidence within the Finance Organization. Over 30 projects were in flight and a large ERP project was being launched that required significant collaboration and the delivery effective measurable outcomes. The PMO needed to establish a core leadership team to fully understand and effectively manage the Project Portfolio. The Client has significant resource and cost management challenges. Further, the Client was up against delivering against tight time constraints with SSC and BPO projects in flight. Additional demands on the PMO to provide strategic process improvement support aligned to functional and organizational transformation objectives needed to be reported to Wall Street.
