1. Business Transformation
Having a clearly defined and well-aligned strategy should allow a company to drive transformation. Heads For Business is uniquely qualified to transform strategy to reality, as evidenced by the role model best practices—such as strategic planning and execution, resource planning, recruiting, and onboarding and development.​
We combine our time-tested expertise in strategic planning, portfolio management, project execution, and organizational engagement to provide a holistic approach to transforming your organization. To help sustain the transformation, the model relies on change management techniques, which evolve into a system wide operational competency.
​
​How It Works
We will assess the current state of your organization to identify gaps using Heads For Business’s maturity model. Based on the results, we’ll work with you to uncover sustainable solutions that address the gaps that prevent you from reliably executing your strategy. In the same collaborative way, we will tailor a Strategy Realization Model to suit your organization’s unique business model, culture, and competencies. The resulting customized model provides the structure to stay focused on the strategic imperatives. For example, the projects that will have the most impact on achieving the strategies will receive the appropriate resources, and priorities will be determined based on facts rather than opinions. When projects and programs are effectively supporting strategic initiatives there is a centralized force that draws all effort toward the common strategic goals. Strategy realization doesn’t end when the critical projects are complete; it requires constant discipline. The model is an ongoing tool that will help you to complete projects, measure them over time to ensure they are generating the expected value, and adapt and evolve strategies, initiatives, and tactics as necessary.
cPMO
GET YOUR PMO UP TO SPEED QUICKLY WITH A COLLABORATIVE SOLUTION THAT DRIVES VALUE THROUGH RELIABLE EXECUTION, IMPROVEMENT, AND ACCELERATED TIME TO COMPLETION.
​
Success often depends on the ability to expedite initiatives or projects from early concept through to commission and handover. Maintaining quality, cost control, program and overall standardization for service delivery requires a finely tuned Project Management Office (PMO) that can execute effectively.
Many organizations struggle to overcome the challenges of creating and maintaining a world-class PMO. The need to scale and diversify a PMO based on organizational demands can exceed its ability and expertise. High-performing project managers are promoted off the team or poached by other companies, slowing or even halting progress. Focusing efforts on their core competencies, companies rarely have a plan in place to continuously improve their PMOs.
The Fast Track to World-Class
The answer is Heads For Business’s Collaborative PMO (cPMO). This turnkey solution provides your organization with a world-class PMO staffed with project leaders who have the skills necessary to deliver your diverse portfolio of projects. As business needs grow or change, the flexible model enables the cPMO to scale up or down, or shift direction, all while continuing to drive performance.
Heads For Business’s cPMO will embed discipline and efficient processes into your organization; as it evolves, more of your team can be incorporated to enhance internal knowledge and influence. Once the capability is woven into the fabric of your organization, Heads For Business will remain committed to its success through ongoing support.
It takes a long time and cultural evolution—as well as project management expertise—to create and maintain an operational PMO. If you need to get projects to market quickly and can’t afford to wait, Head For Business cPMO may be the answer to ramping up and executing rapidly and flawlessly.
