Project Management Services
Strategic Leadership for Your Most Critical Initiatives
While the PM Template Suite provides the definitive "Global Gold Standard" for how projects should be executed, we recognize that high-stakes, large-scale projects often require dedicated, senior leadership to ensure success.
Our services are designed exclusively for organizations—from fast-growing SMBs establishing their first PMO to global enterprises driving complex digital transformation—that need immediate access to proven, executive-level project management expertise.
We don't offer generalized consulting; we offer dedicated, contract-based project leadership.
Our Core Service Model: Staff Augmentation & Project Delivery
Leveraging over 20 years of award-winning experience in IT, Finance, and Public Sector projects, we integrate directly with your organization as a Contract Project Manager or Program Manager. This model provides the high-level expertise you need without the commitment of a full-time hire.
We provide direct, hands-on leadership for initiatives including:
- Digital Transformation & System Migrations: Leading complex transitions for platforms like Pega Case Management (BPM), RSA Archer GRC, and core enterprise application rollouts.
- Agile & Hybrid Delivery: Implementing and coaching effective Scrum practices while managing traditional Waterfall elements across large-scale programs.
- Vendor Management & Contract Governance: Taking ownership of RFP processes, contract negotiation, vendor performance tracking, and ensuring compliance to maximize ROI and minimize financial risk.
- IT Infrastructure & Cloud Projects: Directing complex technology rollouts, including Cloud technologies (AWS, Azure) integration and enterprise data warehousing (ETL/DW) projects.
- Project Turnaround: Stabilizing and course-correcting distressed projects, removing roadblocks, and restoring stakeholder confidence to achieve on-time, on-budget delivery.
The Expertise Advantage
Our project methodology is built on the same principles of structure, professionalism, and standardization found within the PM Template Suite. When you engage our services, you benefit from:
| Core Expertise | The Impact on Your Business |
|---|---|
| Proven Track Record | Experience delivering 70+ projects valued at $65M+ with a consistent track record of 95%+ on-time delivery. |
| Integrated Methodology | We utilize our proprietary, PMBOK® Guide-aligned framework (the foundation of our template suite) to ensure world-class governance, documentation, and reporting from day one. |
| Enterprise-Grade Experience | Direct experience leading mission-critical projects for global organizations, including Sun Life Financial, Manulife, Ford Motor Company, Capital One Bank, and BlackBerry. |
| Vendor & Risk Management | Expert in contract negotiation, vendor management, and identifying project risks early, resulting in achieved savings (e.g., $3.5 million in cost efficiencies on one project). |
Who Needs Our Contract Services?
If your organization has an immediate need for senior project leadership, or if your projects are too critical to rely solely on internal resources, our services are the solution.
- Growing SMBs: We provide the "virtual PMO" leadership needed to scale successful project delivery and standardize processes (a key benefit that complements the PM Template Suite).
- Enterprise Organizations: We augment your current staff with highly specialized expertise to handle project surges, fill temporary gaps, or lead complex programs in specialized domains like regulatory compliance and cyber risk.
- Project Stakeholders: Leaders who need consistent, data-driven portfolio reports and presentation to steering committees, ensuring transparency and alignment with strategic business goals.
