Securing the transition to run - Argain Consulting Innovation supports you in structuring your project portfolio and in setting up governance that clearly distinguishes decision-making responsibilities from operational execution. The committees and governance bodies that underpin this structure operate through the contractualization of objectives and commitments.
- Ensuring portfolio alignment with strategic decisions involves several key processes, including portfolio management (alignment, risks, etc.), activity analysis, budget management, demand management, capacity management, and skills management.
- Project and program categorization, value-driven management, and alignment with the company’s culture are major considerations taken into account by Argain Consulting Innovation as part of its support.

Sizing and organization of the ramp-up - If your organization lacks a proactive view of project progress, if coordination between projects is suboptimal, if costs and resource plans are not under control, and if project governance processes are not harmonized, then your organization or business unit likely needs a PMO function—or, in the case of an IT department, a CIO Office.
- The responsibilities of a PMO function include, among others, budget tracking, schedule control, management of project interdependencies, reporting, promotion of project management practices, provision of tools and methodologies, as well as communication and training for key stakeholders involved in projects.
- These responsibilities are often poorly understood or insufficiently defined. Establishing a PMO function requires strong expertise and can only be achieved through a clear roadmap with phased objectives, in order to deliver value quickly. Argain Consulting Innovation provides experienced experts to support you in creating and deploying your PMO function, with a strong focus on orchestrating its ramp-up across the various PMO capabilities.

| Argain Consulting Innovation supported an insurance company in implementing a PMO function within its IT department, with the objective of ensuring overall consistency across PMO functions and standardizing interactions between business owners and operational teams.
