Problems Are Opportunities for Improvement
Program Management can be one of the most important functions within your organization. Aligning products, resources and over-arching initiatives and goals allows for greater efficiencies and more importantly consistent results. Too often organizations embark on multiple concurrent projects that consume many of the same resources, conflict with many of the same stake holder positions and even worse – can conflict with the very objectives set forth by the ogranization itself.
Program Management
By providing effective program management support, Periodic can help you avoid costly re-work, contradictory objectives and help you to ensure that your most important assets – your people – are not unduly burdened, overlooked or stressed out beyond effective execution in their roles as subject matter experts.
program management control
The Project Management Office or “PMO”, too often is synonymous with an overarching bureaucracy set out to make your life miserable and to stifle your effectiveness. A PMO that does not exist to serve its constituents can quickly become just that. The PMO also does not solely belong to the Fortune 100 corporate set. Even small to mid-size organizations can benefit from structured, consistent methodologies, process and procedures in project management activities.

Vendor/Supplier Management
Vendor/Supplier Management is an area that accounts for significant sunken costs to an organization and can also create conflict and strife where close collaboration and execution is necessary. From technology suppliers, communications and security to basic utilities and real-estate functions, all of these activities are time consuming.
These activities are important however and still require either dedicated resources or asking the very people responsible for your business the additional task of managing another organization – that’s sole purpose is to establish engagement and revenue streams.
All vendors must walk a fine line between being a partner or advocate to an organization versus outright doggedly pursuing an engagement, increased opportunities or closing deals or projects. During these times it is of the utmost importantance to have a team managing those cycles, ensuring critical needs are met – without distracting the entirety of the organization in the process. Looking out for the organization’s best interests, while still understanding the symbiotic nature that exists between customer and vendor, to aid in the joint success of both parties.
