Agenda
PMO Strategy
The ERSME Project Management Office:
An effective PMO operates as a centralized authority to oversee and
coordinate single or multiple projects and or multiple initiatives. It flags
conflicts in timing, resources, staffing, or information that can
jeopardize the ultimate completion and cost of complex projects.
The PMO’s authority goes beyond problem identification, however, to
create problem-solving forums among the owners or, if needed, refer
problems to those with the authority to act. Importantly, the PMO
ensures that issues that can jeopardize the timing and success of the
project are resolved so that the critical path for the project is protected
PMO Strategy
A PMO can be one of three types from an
organizational exposure perspective:
1. Enterprise PMO
2. Organizational (departmental) PMO, or
3. Special–purpose PMO.
PMO Strategy
The typical ERSG strategy will be to setup the department in the form
of a Project Management Office (PMO) that defines and maintains the
standards of process, generally related to project management, within
a Company. This will normally include all related projects:
Building Situation Space (M 2) Value (Almost)
Outpatient
clinics
Tumors
Neurological
Sciences
Laboratories
PMO Strategy: Planning
• Objectives and Milestones
• Specific
• Measurable
• Realistic
• Time-Constrained
PMO Implementation Strategy
Phase I – Establish the Foundation
Phase II – Startup with Short-Term Initiatives
Phase III – Rollout with Long-Term Solutions

Management and Staffing: Infrastructure
While the specific structure of the PMO must reflect theCompanies individual requirements, there are roles andresponsibilities that must be undertaken for all situations.
The PMO operates as a central communication, monitoring,and control hub for the clinical transformation project. It hasa reporting relationship to the leadership team, which inturn exercises overall direction for the project, andrecommends actions to the board of directors.
For the PMO to function effectively, certain roles andfunctions must be staffed. Large projects typically requirethree to six full-time employees for the duration of theeffort.

Agenda
Transfer of Knowledge & ToolsThe following covers the 6 ways ERSG help structure workable, effectiveknowledge sharing agreements with the client:
1. Specify. Once we have defined the scope and required outcomes of acontracting project, we specify in writing exactly what skills or knowledgeyou need us to pass on to staff within your organisation.
2. Identify. Map out who needs to know what so that we don’t waste timeteaching the wrong staff. At the same time, be flexible. We will also tapinto our experience and advise who within your team is the mostappropriate and best equipped to pick up new skills.
3. Prepare. Show how we plan to achieve the knowledge transfer. Does thisrequire formal training time, regular meetings or a room in which to sitand discuss the project with other staff? Will knowledge transfer workbest if you ‘apprentice’ a staff member to us for sections of the project?We then discuss the requirements and agree on an approach that worksbest for both parties.
4. Communicate. Communicate the knowledge transfer expectations to staff.If you want employees to pay attention and learn certain skills, they needto be aware of them and know that you are serious.
Transfer of Knowledge & Tools Cont…
5. Enable the transfer. Even if it is affected purely through casualobservation and questioning, knowledge transfer will add to thetime we needs to spend with your organisation. Remember tomake an allowance for this when defining the contract period.
6. Document. Finally, to avoid confusion and miscommunication, it’salways best to document what we agree on. While this doesn’tnecessarily have to be part of your formal contract, it shouldprovide clear confirmation of both parties’ knowledge sharingobligations.
By making these steps a standard part of our engagement, projectmanagers who are on contract will take on new life within yourorganisation. Rather than just filling the need for another set of hands,you’ll find the business benefiting through the introduction of newideas, new expertise and increased knowledge transfer betweenpermanent and contract staff.
