Project Management

Competitiveness through strategic project management 

An increasing amount of work in companies is being done in projects. Project operations have a direct bearing on your company’s competitive­ness. Ensure that your company is carrying out the right projects – those that are the most valuable in terms of the aims of the business and of the strategy. Also, ensure that the projects have been consolidated appropriately into programmes that have a clear connection with your business and that your projects are planned and managed efficiently. Planning and managing a project portfolio and projects successfully are crucial factors that affect your company’s financial performance.

Ixonos Project Management Services will help you make your business and projects more efficient. You will be able to focus on your core business. As an unbiased, independent player, we focus on producing value added for your organization – we do not represent any vendors or products. Our robust business-responsive project management expertise has evolved over the years, built on challenging customer projects and on continuing development of our operations.

1. Strategic services

We ensure that there is a con­nection between your company’s business operations and project operations. You will develop your company’s project culture with us. This is a long-term effort in which the quality of the company’s project operations is system­atically raised at each level of the organization. Things we do during the process include performing an analysis of the current level of maturity of your company’s project operations, setting up a target level in association with the management, creating a plan and providing help in achieving the target level.

A permanent project management office (PMO) is one means of improving project operations. A PMO may be centralized or decentralized into several PMOs within your organization. We plan with you the levels at which a PMO should be placed in your company and which operations are worth bringing within its sphere.

The large variety and number of ongoing projects in the organization are often a surprise to the top man­agement of our client companies. Managing a project portfolio is an important part of your company’s business operations and a necessary prerequisite for the success of individual projects. We help you in choosing the right tools for managing the portfolio and in introducing a process of systematic portfolio management together with desig­nated roles and duties.

2. Assessing and developing project operations

We assess the operating models of all your project operations and the lead-through of an individual project. Examples of the target of an assessment might be a proposed business-critical project whose level of plan­ning you want to confirm one more time before the final investment decision is taken. It could also be a prepared­ness audit to be carried out before transferring to the pro­duction stage. We can assess a crisis-stricken project and plan measures to salvage it. As a part of a wider enhancement of project practice or a PMO launch, we can also provide preparation and implementation of professional development plans.

3. Project management consulting

We are one of the leading providers of project management consulting services. With our help you ensure that your project is using the right expertise at the right time. We also offer experienced project managers, programme managers and PMO managers for your assistance, and we can assume full responsibility for managing the project operations if you choose to outsource all your project management tasks and/or the management of a PMO.

As the programme progresses, we bring extensive expertise into the planning and management of a project by providing experienced project managers and other professionals, and also commercialized expertise in areas such as architecture, specification, data conversion and testing.
