Need help building internal competency?
For those needing a more hands-on approach, PMO Strategies offers many levels of coaching, onsite training, and consulting for business leaders and PMOs responsible for creating effective and sustainable change, building a PMO, or implementing Project Management capability. We can also help you build your own internal staff competencies through talent development programs and talent leveraging where we teach your staff how to perform the roles necessary to help you build long-term sustainable capacity.
