Your partner in PPM excellence
What is Strategic Advisory Consulting?
Our Strategic Advisory Consulting services help you achieve your PPM goals by partnering you with a Sciforma expert to assess and improve your current practices, develop a roadmap for success, and enhance the effectiveness and maturity of your PPM solution. In this way, we help. to ensure alignment between your objectives and overall business strategy.
As such, our strategic services can help with a myriad of goals, such as:
- driving successful project delivery
- optimizing resource utilization
- aligning with organizational goals
- developing or refining governance frameworks and performance metrics
- facilitating change management and user adoption
- improving competitive positioning and overall performance
- and more
Organizations of all sizes, industries, and project management maturity levels can benefit from strategic advisory consulting—and many of our clients already have!
“The support was exceptionally strong. In fact, that was one of the key differentiators early on. Rather than saying, just fit into our mold, our advisor actually said, we’ll help you to put innovative solutions together.”
How Does Sciforma’s Strategic Advisory Consulting Work?
In order to cater to our clients’ varying needs, we offer a diverse mix of Strategic Advisory Consulting packages, as well as ad-hoc services. Many of our Strategic Advisory Consulting packages follow a standard approach:
- 1. Review of current state
- 2. Determination of desired future state
- 3. Delivery of personalized guidance and recommendations based on business context
As a result, we provide a documented roadmap, as well as strategies and approaches to achieve those desired outcomes. Following the consultation, your organization can implement our recommendations yourself, engage us to implement, or engage a third party (such as one of our technological partners) to implement.
