PMO as a Service
project portfolio management (PPM) practice.
Build business agility with flexible, adaptive project management with Centric Consulting’s PMO as a Service.
Gymnastic enterprises, a term coined by the Project Management Institute, are “resilient, flexible and future-focused” organizations that turn strategy into reality and carve out a true competitive advantage.
To be counted among these gymnastic enterprises, you need business agility—the willingness and ability to respond to changing dynamics in a flexible, adaptive and rapid manner. Businesses that have agility invest in continuous improvement, prioritize collaborative structures and implement innovative processes.
You don’t have to build business agility alone. If your project portfolio management practice needs help responding to changing dynamics, prioritizing collaborative structures, implementing innovative processes or developing capacity for continuous improvement, we offer:
- Interim and advisory portfolio and program leaders
- Program and project managers on a contract basis
- PPM team coaching and training
- PPM tool selection and implementation
Our flexible and adaptive Enterprise Portfolio and Program Management experts will collaborate with your business to enhance agility so you can keep pace with change through our PMO as a Service. Whether you need fractional support, full-time expertise for a specific project or duration, or would like to fully outsource your PMO function, our team will work with you to help meet your program and project management needs.
