Desai’s Program Management Office (PMO) solution consists of methods for defining organizational structures, roles and responsibilities, and governance, resulting in the effective implementation of projects, programs, and/or portfolio management of investments.
Desai’s solid foundation in project management has enabled them to craft a robust approach to project governance and business interlock with their PMO solution. Their methods acknowledge that every organization is unique, with their own requirements for governance and business integration. Desai’s approach to the configuration of PMO capabilities, using their Framework for Strategy Execution (FSE), addresses diversity in projects and identifies the focus areas necessary to drive business value, from strategy to execution.
With their PMO solution, Desai is responding to industry directions that are driving PMOs to expand their influence and become a strategic resource for companies. The framework-based approach, utilizing Desai’s FSE, helps them understand PMO needs from top to bottom in a customer business, and specifically what integrates a business from strategy to execution. Desai’s PMO solution reflects this integrated, contextual view:
Desai’s Business Diagnostics solution provides value across the complete project and operations lifecycles:
Project Readiness Assessments – at pre-project, that examine team, skills, processes, capabilities, and influencing factors internal and external to the project for adequacy and risk management in the forthcoming project work
Project Reviews – in advance of vendor contract signing to ensure that work required is adequately defined and prospective vendors are capable of completing it
Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) – of a project once underway and throughout its execution, to ensure that project deliverables and objectives are met along the way
Lessons Learned – upon project completion, designed to measure the degree to which the project met its stated objectives and deliverables, and can be deemed successful
Operational Assessments – once a project is deployed to operations, assessments can be performed on an ongoing basis, to determine how stable and effective the project results are
Desai’s PMO solution, working with the FSE, provides two fundamental business values to every customer: How to choose the right things to do and how to do them right. All other solution capabilities are in support of those customer values. Project execution can now be tied directly to a customer’s strategic business initiatives. Let’s get to work.
