Expanded Service Offerings: Meeting the Needs of Modern Organizations
Under Brian’s leadership, PMO Advisory is expanding its service offerings to better meet the needs of modern organizations. As the business landscape becomes more complex and competitive, the demand for specialized services continues to grow. In response, we are launching a suite of innovative services aimed at enhancing our clients’ PMOs, refining program and project management practices, utilizing expert resources, and driving strategic success.
PMO Assessments, Roadmaps, and Optimizations
One of the cornerstones of our expanded service offerings is our PMO Assessments, Roadmaps, and Optimizations. A well-functioning Project Management Office (PMO) is critical to the success of any organization’s project portfolio, but many organizations struggle to realize the full potential of their PMOs. Our comprehensive assessments are designed to evaluate the current state of our clients’ PMOs, identify areas for improvement, and provide actionable recommendations for optimizing performance.
Through our PMO Roadmaps, we help organizations develop a clear, strategic plan for enhancing their PMO’s capabilities and aligning them with broader business objectives. Whether it’s improving governance, streamlining processes, or enhancing resource management, our roadmaps provide a detailed, step-by-step guide to achieving long-term success. Our PMO Optimization services take this a step further by providing hands-on support to implement these recommendations, ensuring that our clients’ PMOs are not only efficient but also effective in driving strategic outcomes.
PMO in a Box: Plug-and-Play Solutions
In today’s fast-paced business environment, organizations need agile, flexible solutions that can be quickly deployed to meet their needs. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our innovative “PMO in a Box” offering. This plug-and-play solution is designed for organizations that need to quickly establish or enhance a PMO without the time and expense of building one from scratch.
Our PMO in a Box service provides a fully customizable PMO framework, complete with all the tools, templates, and processes necessary to manage programs and projects effectively. Whether our clients need a temporary PMO to support a specific initiative or a long-term solution that can be scaled as their needs evolve, our PMO in a Box offering delivers the flexibility and functionality they require. This service is ideal for organizations of all sizes and sectors, from startups looking to establish project management capabilities to large enterprises seeking to optimize their existing PMOs.
Program / Project Management as a Service (PMaaS): On-Demand Expertise
Another key component of our expanded service offerings is Project Management as a Service (PMaaS). In an increasingly complex business environment, organizations often need to scale their program and project management capabilities quickly and efficiently. PMaaS enables our clients to access expert resources on demand, allowing them to scale their capabilities as needed without the overhead of maintaining a large in-house team.
Our PMaaS offering provides clients with access to a pool of highly skilled program and project managers who can be deployed to manage projects of any size or complexity. Whether our clients need short-term support for a specific project or long-term assistance to manage a portfolio of initiatives, our PMaaS service provides the flexibility and expertise they need to succeed. This service is particularly valuable for organizations that are undergoing periods of rapid growth or change, as it allows them to quickly adapt to new challenges and opportunities without sacrificing quality or consistency.
Credentialed Resources for Staff Augmentation
In addition to our PMaaS offering, we are also expanding our existing staff augmentation services to provide clients with the option for credentialed resources who can seamlessly integrate into their teams. In today’s competitive job market, finding and retaining top talent is a significant challenge for many organizations. Our staff augmentation services provide a solution by offering access to a pool of highly qualified professionals (onshore, offshore, and nearshore) who can fill critical roles on a temporary or permanent basis.
Our credentialed resources are carefully selected to meet the specific needs of our clients, ensuring that they have the skills, experience, certifications, and cultural fit necessary to excel in their roles. Whether our clients need PMO directors, program managers, project managers, business analysts, change management experts, or other specialized professionals, our staff augmentation services provide a cost-effective and flexible solution to their talent needs. By partnering with PMO Advisory, our clients can ensure that they have the right people in place to achieve their strategic goals, without the time and expense of recruiting and onboarding new employees.

We provide in-depth instruction on the frameworks, methodologies, and tools endorsed by PMI, enabling your team to excel in their certification exams and apply these principles effectively in real-world scenarios.
