Creating Value at Large Scale

A project management office (PMO) is a central hub of excellence in an organization that ensures consistent project management across the entire organization. When a PMO is in place, it can result in improved project performance and significant business benefits. However, setting up or improving a PMO for many clients can be a challenging process. The initial setup is often viewed as a straightforward task, similar to any other major reorganization. However, even the most fundamental details, such as who is managing the PMO, require careful consideration.
