Overview
Engaged by Erie Insurance, our consultancy undertook a multifaceted initiative to not only establish a Corporate PMO Structure but to also enhance its maturity and delivery capabilities. Our involvement commenced with a comprehensive PMO Assessment, subsequently supporting organizational change. The engagement is progressing into Phase 3, which is anchored around executing changes to elevate project delivery and maximize benefit realization.
Areas of Strategic Focus
PMO Structuring & Maturity: Central to our mandate was the establishment and refinement of a robust PMO structure, aimed at ensuring optimal project management practices and maturity levels within Erie Insurance.
Organizational Change Management: As changes were identified post-assessment, it became imperative to facilitate a smooth transition, ensuring organizational buy-in and alignment.
Enhanced Project Delivery: Moving into Phase 3, our focus sharpens on the execution of changes aimed at bolstering project delivery metrics and harnessing greater benefit realization.
Challenge
Establishing a PMO within the complex landscape of Erie Insurance, while simultaneously driving maturity and optimizing delivery, presented a rich tapestry of challenges. Beyond the establishment of frameworks, it was essential to ensure that these changes resonated at all organizational levels and were geared towards tangible benefits.
Strategic Approach
Leveraging tools and methodologies such as PMO Maturity Plan, Sponsor Training, Benefit Realization Process Mapping, and Standard Work Training, we embarked on a structured journey. Every phase, from assessment to implementation, was executed with meticulous precision, keeping the end goal – enhanced project management transparency and speed – in clear sight.
Impact & Outcome
Through our strategic partnership with Erie Insurance, significant strides have been made. With improved PMO processes in place, Erie Insurance now benefits from increased transparency in project management and faster execution. This, in turn, ensures that the projects are not just delivered, but deliver value through enhanced benefit realization.
