Customer Experiences
Semiconductor technology company
"Project Management as a Service (PMaaS) provided us with capable boots on the ground that gave us the necessary confidence to start the four year long business and digital transformation initiative to integrate Product Lifecycle Management PLM, as mandated by the Board of Directors, without further delay. PMaaS installed a capable and close-knit team comprising of a Project Manager and Solution Architect to build up the project organization and manage internal as well as external technical stakeholders and program steering committees. PMaaS added value, not only with flexible resources, but with their proven approach to install agile project management practices to shorten time to value and delivering early results."
SEMICONDUCTOR TECHNOLOGY COMPANY
"Project Management as a Service (PMaaS) helped us consolidate three global manufacturing sites in Europe, US, and Asia into two, resulting in annual multi million Dollar COGS savings. This was a massive undertaking, orchestrating manufacturing engineering teams across multiple sites and time zones, relocating warehouse inventory, test fixtures, parts and subassemblies to qualify manufacturing sites, supply chains, and ultimately products under stringent semiconductor "copy exactly" rules within tight timelines and budgets, and above all "not changing anything at all", not one process parameter. Managing internal and external stakeholders including demanding semiconductor customers and a long list of suppliers was a big ask, but it all came together just fine, not one hick-up."

"We deal with large Oil & Gas customers and our projects are very challenging in terms of budget, financing, delivery timelines and due dates. Large late delivery penalties are a given. On the flip side, rewarding early delivery bonuses are up for grabs. High stake supplier negations, overseeing installment payments, and back charges management is part of the project manager's playbook as millions of Dollars are changing hands. PM-as-a-Service provided us with a capable and assertive project managers who can handle large scale high risk high stake projects, international high profile customers, high end and niche suppliers, and a multi disciplined project organization to deliver early and on budget, cashing in bonuses and positive back charge cash flow."

Customer Experiences
SEMICONDUCTOR TECHNOLOGY COMPANY
"Implementing Strategic Portfolio Management SPM was an eye-opener as it has produced unparalleled insights over our product development pipeline, which enabled us to make strategic decisions over which projects to accelerate, which to avoid, and in which to invest longterm. The SPM process and tool produces real-time data from quantitative risk analysis throughout the project lifecycle providing invaluable information to negotiate better deals with our customers as projects evolve and circumstances change. We used to compare NPV of project A, B and C. We then chose B as it had the largest NPV, not knowing that its risks or probability of success was very unfavorable. In all reality the better choice would have been A, but, now that we are looking at the entire portfolio rather than one project in a vacuum, we decided to not engage with any of the projects unless the risks are addressed beforehand and we have a better deal on the table. Before SPM, we would have most likely started two of these projects, completely ignoring opportunity cost, and waited for things to play out and ride it off as sunk cost."

"Strategic Portfolio Management SPM allowed us to express our business with decision analysis model to quantify risk and chances. The modeling sessions were an eye-opener as they clearly showed us where in the process-chain the risks are and how much we should invest to find out more. It was invaluable to run Monte Carlo simulations across our entire innovation portfolio and produce such unexpected insights for decision clarity. Once we saw the data, comprehensively and unfiltered as gathered by subject matter experts and presented through financial charts, it was clear as daylight what our next move ought to be."
Organizational Change Management
OCM embedded in the project lifecycle allows for early adoption and benefits being realized.
Early Adoption - Realize Benefits
Leading organizational change is no easy feat and is best put with an expert who understands the implications of natural human resistance and the steps it takes to achieve users and customers to adopt new solutions and adapt to different ways of doing things.
Successful organizational change begins at the early stages of the project lifecycle and follows up throughout it.

Customer Experiences
SEMICONDUCTOR TECHNOLOGY COMPANY
"We have ignored the importance of Organizational Change Management (OCM) for too long as too many initiatives and programs failed at the user adoption. It made such an impactful difference to have an OCM expert on the project roster for the CRM Salesforce as well as the PLM Siemens Teamcenter implementation. Someone who ensures the right stakeholders are identified and all relevant requirements are gathered, while resistance is turned into an early design advantage, creating early buy-in and solution ambassadors at the user level. No simple task, but an orchestration effort throughout the entirety of the project.
SEMICONDUCTOR TECHNOLOGY COMPANY
"Organizational Change Management (OCM) was of outmost importance when we implemented Strategic Portfolio Management with decision analytics solution. It took an OCM expert that clearly understands the subject matter and challenges of such an implementation as users are at all levels of the company, from executive decision makers down to the person who analyzes project deals and updates the data. When it comes to changing an organization's mindset to express uncertainty with probability, interpret analytical data, to trust and rely on it, and to make tough business decisions based on it, is like walking a fine line between success and failure. It takes an OCM expert from the very beginning to the very end of the project to lead an organizations through such a DNA change."
AIRCRAFT AND ENGINES MRO SOLUTIONs PROVIDER
"Organizational Change Management (OCM) enabled us to Go Live with a new service fulfillment process almost overnight, as the OCM expert managed the rollout inclusively from the first milestone to the last ensuring resistance is the currency for buy-in. Changing the incentive structure is often overseen, and has broken many stellar projects in half. The best processes and tools will not find acceptance if bonus structures are prohibiting it from being followed."
Vacuum and semiconductor fab solutions provider
"OCM was crucial for the success of transforming engineering and product teams into Agile teams using Scrum. New processes and their roles and responsibilities needed to be established, and people needed to be hired to support it all. Capable tools needed to reflect how the teams work with the Scrum framework. The bar was high, the time was short, yet we prevailed as a team. When everybody pulls on the same rope in the same direction incredible things happen."

"Project Management Optimization and Improvements helped us to improve our demand and project intake process including tool integration and automation, which allowed us cut down 30% of our time spent on approving and prioritizing projects. It was a real game changer to be able to do the project approvals anytime from anywhere at our own convenience, rather than in a monthly meeting. We have now one solution, one single source of truth, one process, all auditable. Information gaps, missing information and approvals, and wasting time in meetings delaying project starts is all part of the past. We integrated, automated, and transformed."

"We listened and we learned. Our newly revamped Innovation process is designed around our customers and how they experience our products, not us. It starts with the voice of the customer and ends with the customer success group's hyper care team. This makes it a true 360 customer experience including our products and services. But we didn't stop here. We went on and implemented a CRM, PLM, and MES solution to complete the process with tools and connected them with SAP and JIRA. Now that is what we call high effective business transformation from lead generation to shipping dock and beyond."
OIL & GAS CAPITAL EQUIPMENT OEM
LNG compressor plant design requires deep understanding of cryogenic application. The equipment exposed to these very low temperatures will be not only covered in ice, but experience large movement due to expansion and contraction of the material. Design Thinking led to a new innovation to solve the problem at hand, which was to reduce service downtime to lower maintenance cost and production loss.
Engineering And InnovAtion firm
The customer was a global leader in designing and engineering coffee machines. The design challenge was the brewing unit and the overall packaging and appearance of the machine. 3D printing was not invented then, but other ways like lithography allowed for rapid prototyping, which gave us the breakthrough we needed to get to the market with a never seen before model that set the beginning of a new home brewing era.
