Program and Project Management Consulting

You know your customers and the competitive environment. You’ve identified your strengths and opportunities, and your business strategy is sound. However, while most organizations are adept at developing strategies, many struggle to turn strategy into sustainable results while managing day-to-day operations. The critical, time-sensitive programs and projects that drive results and transformation require significant expertise, focus, discipline, and resources.

We bring expertise and a structured approach to rationalizing your strategy and identifying the most important initiatives so you can optimize investments and focus the organization. Using best-in-class processes, technology, tools, and training, IPM helps ensure the essential work gets done quickly and efficiently.

Unlike conventional business consulting firms, IPM is all about execution excellence, which results in real business outcomes. Everyday operations continue uninterrupted while we help translate your strategy into actions that will drive success, provide structure around your project management office (PMO), or lead planning and execution of your key projects. And you’ll be better equipped with the structure, systems, tools, and processes that consistently deliver future programs and improve your project management maturity.

Customized to suit your organization’s needs and maturity level, our project and program management services deliver:

• Intended value and outcomes of your most important projects
• Predictable timelines, investment needs, and delivery
• Rationalized and optimized processes and use of resources
• Improved visibility, risk mitigation, and decision-making ability
• Effective communications that build cross-functional awareness, alignment, and accountability
• New internal capabilities, digital tools, and repeatable approaches to sustain success

When your list of programs and projects under consideration exceeds your resources, count on IPM to reduce organizational friction by engaging your teams and stakeholders, prioritizing efforts, and managing communications, risk, and change.

Our Strategic Realization Model can guide you through alignment, prioritization, and execution, building key processes and optimizing resource use to drive the work that achieves your strategy. We can help you establish a project management office to lead and optimize your project management capabilities toward value sustained generation. IPM’s project portfolio management experts can provide a roadmap and prioritized recommendations. And our project management consultants can lead your most complex projects and implement your most critical initiatives, so you achieve your growth or transformational strategy.

Working with IPM, you’ll see firsthand how program and project management expertise adds value. To build capabilities within your own team, we instill the same strategic planning and execution competency that was recognized as a “role model practice” when we received the 2018 Malcolm Baldrige Award.
