Strategic Project, Program, and
Portfolio Management Consulting Services
Whether you’ve got an immediate, practical challenge or longer-term strategic need, IPS can help compete in today’s challenging global economy
We offer a variety of strategic project, program, and portfolio management consulting services that utilize the same process models taught in the Stanford Advanced Project Management program. At IPS, we practice what we teach, so we can also help implement the leading practices covered in our cutting-edge training courses. In fact, many of the same strategic execution experts who teach our classes are also available to show your leaders of complex programs and projects how to get real work done and build effective habits that will serve a lifetime.
Our strategic project, program, and portfolio management consulting services are aimed at reinforcing what is taught in the classroom and positioning your organization for across-the-board, sustainable success in achieving corporate objectives via programs and projects:
- Expertly facilitated workshops - including our popular FastPLAN® project planning sessions, that accelerate your planning process to produce real and effective plans for your projects and programs - which give lasting benefits to your organization. These highly interactive, expertly facilitated workshops are geared toward jump-starting a project or program and producing the plans you need now.
- Strategy execution mapping - a proven way to turn the complex and often inaccessible strategic plan into an interactive, visual roadmap for the plan’s successful execution. IPS strategy execution consultants work directly with your executive team to develop detailed linkages among strategies, programs, and projects, both graphically and in detailed tables.
- Strategic Project Management Offices - An SPMO enables the effective implementation of organizational strategy through engagements, portfolios, programs, and projects. We’ll set up all of the resources necessary to support the success of a single project, large programs, portfolio offices, or organization-level centers of excellence that focus enabling the execution of strategy.
- Assessments and reviews - Half the battle is figuring out where to start and what needs fixing the most. We’ll identify your organization’s strategic execution strengths and weaknesses, and then quickly focus your improvement efforts to produce the greatest results.
- Project portfolio management - We’ll translate technique into tangible results for your business, ensuring that your project investments contribute directly to realizing your corporate goals.
- Coaching and support services - We can provide resources on site to help transfer key knowledge. Or you can choose to shift much of the project, program, or portfolio management burden onto our highly qualified specialists - and thereby pursue your strategic objectives with far less cost and strain, and far greater assurance of success.
