We Design, Build, and Run "Fit-For-Purpose" PMO

A fit-for-purpose PMO means its mandate aligns with the business strategy and equally  important with the culture of the organization it serves. Together with you and your teams we will define your PMO's mandate and the functions required to deliver the services it needs to provide whether they are within the PMO or not.

Our agile approach to PMO design and build includes processes and integrated tool as well as develop and onboard people to manage and support the PMO and those that govern it. For that reason we embed Organizational Change Management (OCM) in support of a successful PMO implementation to ensure leadership support, stakeholder enrollment, team dynamics are managed, trainings are conducted and overall communication is timely managed. We encourage our clients to start out with an Organizational Impact and Readiness Assessment to understand benefits and desired outcomes as well as determine how to conduct the transformational endeavor successfully.

The Kyburg PMO: Purposeful Pragmatic Predictable

We are aware of an organization's maturity and design in scalability to ensure longevity of the PMO. We understand the business environment and build for flexibility to shift direction. We research and follow best practices to be interchangeable for you to evolve independently.
scalable PMO for startup
Everyone's goal is to design and build better products and get to market faster. There comes a time in a startup when "the way we do things" is no longer competitive nor acceptable. When you reach the point of too many projects, key resources are not as effective let alone efficiently managed, deadlines are missed and product development and documentation suffer speed and quality, your next move is a startup or scalable PMO.
A scalable PMO provides immediate value by increasing productivity to accelerate innovation pipelines and revenue generation through providing effective planning, organization and leadership. It sets up the basic but scalable PMO structure for startups allowing to build on it as the organization and company evolves. This to ensure creativity and innovation while managing project and product due diligence.
The Kyburg Value: Our PMO-as-a-Service can step in and help Founders, CEOs or CTOs, keeping their eyes on the ball building their brand and company, while we empower project teams and keep tabs on their innovation pipeline providing them the data they need to make critical business and investment decisions. Our agile approach to scalable PMOs allows ​startups to evolve seamlessly from business development and sales teams to a project driven organization that drives investment strategies and accelerates innovation and value creation.
Strategic PMO for SMB to global enterprise
The strategic or enterprise ePMO empowers organizations to achieve their strategic objectives and investments and is responsible for facilitating the strategic alignment, planning, prioritization and value realization of enterprise-wide projects, product portfolios and activities. It accomplishes this through a team of program and project managers, business analysts and agile experts.
This requires a sound project intake and portfolio decision process backed with integrated SPM solutions in support of project selection and prioritization and a PPM solution for resource management. Only then can the fundamentally and equally important questions of "Are we doing the right things at the right time" be answered, and "are we doing them right, every time".
The Kyburg Value: We understand the full breadth of a Strategic PMO implementation and are aware of multitude of advantages and benefits it brings to an organization. We are also aware of the stakeholder development and training that is required to make this a successful journey from day one. That is why it is imperative to have a Partner in your corner that enables your teams to evolve as the organization evolves.
PMO for It Transformation
The IT PMO delivers a company's information technology, security and innovation strategy including its digital transformation and automation pipeline through programs and agile projects. It extends to IT infrastructure and business applications management and ensures successful user adoption and smooth transition into IT operations.

The Kyburg Value: We can help you establish and staff a fully governed and right-sized PMO, support you in improving or developing a PPM strategy to compliment your PMO, and implement lean processes and integrated tools and templates including project intake, approval, prioritization, resource management, execution and closure.
