with staff

Assessing OPM maturity

OPM improvement

initiatives.

Change Management

Program

Recruiting the right people to fill competency gaps.

Staff competency development

programs.

Project Management

Program Management

Strategy


② Developing Program Management and Program Audit Methodology

Recommendations

Setting up a PMO & Audit Office and positioning them in the top level of the organization structure does not

guarantee their success!

Clear Responsibilities & level of authority

of the PAO

PAO team ask the right questions

Clear Responsibilities & level of authority

of the PMO

Staff them with highly qualified

people

Guide the PMC regarding

organizational & environmental

factors

Have senior management

support.

PMO and the Audit Office are

independent business units


③ Developing a good contract with a proper PMC compensation model and risk allocation

Recommendations

The most critical part of the PMC contract is the financial structure,

it’s the client’s responsibility to do it right from the beginning!

Clear Contract that leaves no

space for imagination

Progress-based compensation, not resource-

based

The right outsourcing

model

Scope, Scope and Scope

A performance based risk-sharing contract is better

The PMC is NOT HR provider

The PMC is a delivery partner


④ Developing a proper governance model with clear roles, responsibilities, and delegation

Recommendations

Clients can definitely outsource program management, but they

cannot outsource Program Governance!

Clear Client-PMC accountability

Clarify the role of the PMO and the Audit office in the

program organization.

First thing in the program

Common agreement on the

success criteria

Agreed upon technical &

financial delegated authority

Agreed upon program change

management process

Common agreement on Performance management


The foundation of a successful Client-PMC PARTENERSHIP is the mutual trust and shared value

We are partners, so let’s build a mutual trust
