Why World Class PMO?
Innovative leaders in today’s rapidly changing business environment understand that having a world class Project Management Office (PMO) is the difference between adaptive, growth-focused performance and stagnation. High performing PMO’s have the knowledge and tools necessary to ensure projects are delivered and strategic objectives are achieved. PMO’s facilitate a centralized and coordinated effort within an organization to ensure projects are managed consistently using best practices. Essentially, PMO’s are meant to ensure that all of your projects are delivered on time and to the specifications of the requirements. PMO’s can mitigate risk and effectively allocate resources, budgets, and schedules. If you want to increase efficiency, functionality, and boost your organization as a whole, developing a world class PMO should be on the top of your initiatives list. Typical Project Management offices are often viewed as inefficient and ineffective, but with OGx’s structured approach to process optimization and value-focused implementation, your PMO can overcome its stereotypical connotations and begin realizing high-impact results that allow the rest of the business to deliver faster, meet and exceed requirements, and create lasting value.
