Company Project Description Tools Result
WellSense Project Management Office Transformation We worked with the WellSense health insurance plan to establish project management disciplines, enterprise planning disciplines, and execution success on launching projects. Throughout this project, we augmented the staff to create the Project Management Office for successful implementation. Additionally, we developed standards for coordinating and operating projects, executed the various projects, and ran their PMO as a third party.
  • During our engagement, we utilized PMO tools such as project plans, portfolio planning, risk management, and benefits management.
 As a result of our PMO transformation, we matured the practice of project management and delivered on their projects enabling WellSense to achieve its corporate goals. We also delivered a brand new product in the market within six months with no customer complaints or issues. Through our process improvement and managing their projects, we saved WellSense over $5 million by reducing factors such as the duration of stay in the hospital.
