OPM3
in
a Nutshell
|
|
For
organizations that deliver their strategy using projects, OPM3
is the newest tool to diagnose and improve the organization’s ability
to deliver the right projects the right way. OPM3
is a new standard, delivered through the Project Management Institute
(PMI), that provides the industry best practices for delivering
strategy through organizational project management.
Through the OPM3 cycle, an organization determines
its ability to deliver its strategy through a comprehensive assessment
of its organizational project management processes and
activities. Once the extent of implementation is understood,
the organization then determines the gaps in its implementation of OPM
that impact its ability to deliver its strategy.
Improvement plans are built and executed that drive and
improve business performance.

Why
an OPM3 ProductSuite Assessment using OPM
Professional Services?
|
Organizations
are increasingly looking to third parties for qualified assistance to
help them improve their business performance. They recognize
that an external party can bring invaluable knowledge, competence and,
most importantly, objectivity.
An assessment carried out using the OPM3 ProductSuite and a certified
OPM3 professional gives the most accurate and effective
evaluation of any organization’s implementation of Organizational
Project Management. This assessment is done by comparing the
organization, its processes and its procedures to the current industry
best practices as provided in the Project Management
Institute’s standard, OPM3.
The information generated by an OPM3 ProductSuite Assessment provides
the organization with a clear picture of what is and is not working in
regard to organizational project management. In addition to this
critical information, we provide a set of recommendations to improve
the organization's performance as well as a detailed road map and time
line of activities to be undertaken.
Another
benefit that our company brings to you is the ability to compare your
organization's current organizational project management performance
against other anonymous organizations. Our database of
assessments is growing rapidly and we can provide valuable insight into
hour other organizations are performing.

| Achieving
Business Results Through Organizational Project Management |
|
Best
in class organizations have determined the formula for creating their
competitive advantage. They have adopted a discipline called
Organizational Project Management (OPM). The OPM3
Standard defines it as "the application of knowledge, skills, tools and
techniques to organizational activities and project, program and
portfolio activities to achieve the aims of an organization through
projects." Simply put, it is finding the right rigor and
discipline of organizational project management to apply to your
organization that makes it successful. There is no "one size
fits
all" approach here. The fit must be tailored to your
organization. If you want to hear more about how this
competitive
edge might be applied to your organization, give us a call.
