Over 200 clients have asked this question as our program & project management careers have spanned over 25 years and 736 projects to date…they too…after interviewing many different types of candidates…… chose Us.  

 

We are not normal Project Managers. Our team have developed our communicative skills at expert level. It’s because We listen…We don’t just hear….

 

Our experience of having talked to all levels of stakeholders from end users to Board Rooms is impressive…Microsoft, Flowserve, JP Morgan, Dell, Marubeni, Sam Yang, Zurich, to name a few… and we have worked in all 50 states and over 34 foreign countries…. and for example, our Project director started first in renovation and construction doing over 218 successful projects in St. Louis, MO and surrounding areas………… and then migrating to business and IT work. His collaborative skills, his abilities to orchestrate and manage core, virtual and external teams [and developers] rivals as many as 10 PM’s experience histories…….

 

One project matrix example: Our Project Director managed 918 people, in 56 countries, 264 sites, 7 languages, 9 times zones while deploying mobile devices, replacing and retiring 348 apps, deploying O365 and Office 2010 while conducting 578 on-line training sessions and deploying an ERP upgrade while managing a data center upgrade developing a hybrid SharePoint solution ……within the 5734 tasks in the project plan…there were ---30 workstreams and 15 PMs while he played the role of Training, OCM and Communication Manager, Program Manager and Project Manager…….one project……[BTW…….’it’ finished 3 months early and $2.75M under budget…as it was a $25M project]

 

Our capacities, and our work ethic and ability to deliver on-time and on budget surpasses 96% while the national average from Gartner and Forrester is ‘pegged’ at 62%.

 

As a team, we effectively assess project’s statuses while wearing multiple ‘hats of responsibility’ while performing the program and project management roles, leveraging Agile and Scrum where applicable, making use of multiple project management software solutions, from JIRA. To MS project to Primavera to stand lone products like Smartsheet or WorkZone…….……. even has excel macros and we use when necessary. This approach has saves enterprise projects “in trouble” in 97% of the time

 

[Ask us about Allen’s his voice over work….and his methodology of delivering at least 90% retention of new technologies on the day of ‘go-live’….and stand back…. On-time and on-budget…...it’s in our DNA.]
