Corporate Health Initiatives Consulting

There is a trend toward implementing Project Management Offices (PMOs) to instill much-needed project management discipline in corporate departments that is spreading fast. PMOs help managers by providing the structure needed to both standardize project management practices and facilitate project portfolio management, as well as determine methodologies for repeatable processes.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act--which requires companies to disclose investments, such as large projects, that may affect a company's operating performance--is also a driver. It forces companies to keep a closer watch on business project expenses and demands:

- GENERAL PROJECT SUPPORT

- PROJECT MANAGEMENT METHODOLOGY

- INTERNAL CONSULTING & MENTORING

- PROJECT MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE TOOLS

- PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

CorpHI works with technology units on every aspect of project management --from defining initial requirements to post-implementation audits. By maintaining consistent processes across the organization the group can break down projects into manageable components and thereby minimize failures.

CorpHI empowers clients with advice, training, methods, tools and services that make the technology group successful at every project. At a high level, this includes planning the steps in the process; at a low level, it administers project-specific data. This systemic approach supports a culture of empowerment, entrepreneurship and accountability.

The outcome is more comprehensive and trustworthy since projects and services are based on (a) accuracy of cost estimates, (b) accuracy of schedule estimates and (c) project stakeholder satisfaction. CorpHI improves the chances of delivering quantifiable results and incremental improvements.
