Enterprise ITPMO for Electrical Manufacturer

Client Overview

A large industrial manufacturing company with a global footprint and multi-billion-dollar annual revenue was seeking strategic IT transformation to improve governance and portfolio visibility across the enterprise.

The Challenge

The client operated a highly decentralized IT environment managing over 150 concurrent initiatives without consistent oversight or governance. Project visibility was fragmented, methods varied across teams, and prioritization lacked strategic alignment. Additionally, the absence of formal change management practices hindered enterprise-wide coordination, resulting in redundant efforts, resource conflicts, and under-leveraged technology investments.

Our Solution

Our team partnered with the client's IT and executive leadership to design and implement a scalable, enterprise-level PMO model. This included:

• Establishing governance protocols and reporting mechanisms
• Developing and documenting PMO methods, tools, and delivery standards
• Creating a centralized project backlog aligned with strategic priorities
• Standing up an IT Business Partner model to bridge functional and technical teams
• Embedding organizational change management (OCM) practices to support adoption
  We also facilitated the creation of a core PMO team and trained stakeholders on new governance procedures.s.

Impact:



The newly established PMO delivered structure and visibility to the client's complex initiative landscape. It enabled proactive portfolio planning, streamlined decision-making, and improved delivery consistency. The IT Business Partner model strengthened alignment between business and technology, while change management capabilities reduced friction and accelerated adoption. Governance activities brought accountability to project performance and drove better resource utilization across the enterprise.

Conclusion

This engagement transformed the client's approach to IT portfolio management. By institutionalizing PMO practices and strategic oversight, the organization now operates with greater discipline, clarity, and agility.
