Supporting Your Company’s Path To Success

At SPM Solution Design, our suite of services is fully customizable and intended to support you and your company—wherever you are in your journey. With our strategic, hands-on approach, you’ll feel empowered to effectively and confidently implement the solutions we design for your business with confidence and certainty.

Phase I:
Get Us Started

Helping your company achieve success starts with a deep dive to understand everything that makes it unique: its people, processes, plans, and impact. In Phase I, we leverage research and stakeholder meetings to ensure we know your organization inside and out—setting the stage for meaningful change to take shape. This allows our team to more effectively help you identify the gaps in the current state of your company’s project portfolio and project management processes to customize a solution that sets you up for success.

Phase II:
Set Us Up For Success

Setting your company up for a successful implementation is our focus of the second phase of services. Building on Phase I, we’ll partner with you and your leadership team to develop a set of comprehensive planning documents—including the creation of an SPM Implementation Plan—to guide you through the process. Consider these materials your how-to guides for thoughtfully approaching the implementation of this work in a way that increases efficiencies, minimizes disruptions, and helps you lead impactful change.

Phase III:
Guide Us Along

While Phases I and II are designed to provide you with a custom SPM solution and the tools you need to implement it, Phase III goes the extra mile to ensure you receive our dedicated support through the ebb and flow of transformational change. From execution and monitoring of the implementation plan to conducting evaluations that help you strive for continuous improvement company-wide, we’re proud to be your trusted partner—helping you navigate every step of this exceedingly important and challenging process.

Dive deeper into our phased service levels that give you the autonomy to decide how we can best support you and your company.

Phase 1: Assessment and
SPM Solution Design

We take a systematic approach to assess your company’s current state to inform and design you an SPM solution that reflects your desired future state of project portfolio and project management performance.

  • During the initial assessment, SPM Solution Design thoroughly evaluates your business' current project portfolio and project management practices and capabilities, including identifying specific pain points impacting its potential. By reviewing existing documentation, interviewing key stakeholders, and leveraging other results-driven tactics, we'll determine your company's current state of project portfolio and project management affairs and begin to assess where improvements can be made.

  • Goal definition is where we center our collaboration with your company’s executive leadership team to ensure a clear understanding of the desired future state of project portfolio and project management practices, capabilities, and performance. This time also serves as a checkpoint for alignment with the business’ overall Strategic Project Management goals, objectives, and priorities. In short: Goal definition is important work, to be sure, but also an exciting part of the process where your company’s improved SPM future begins to take shape.

  • A gap analysis can shine a light on the areas where your company's existing project portfolio and project management practices might fall short of industry best practices—or where they might be hindering the implementation of a successful SPM strategy. Our team will work with you to understand these gaps from current to future state, helping you quantify the difference.

  • Here’s where the fun begins: designing a tailored SPM solution to help you address specific project portfolio and project management needs that enable your organization to meet its strategic goals. Along the way, we’ll help you establish clear and realistic timelines, ensure stakeholder support, and provide you with actionable next steps via a Roadmap for Implementation.
