One of the largest privately-held staffing companies in the United States, the client’s team
includes more than 8,000 internal employees and 90,000 contract employees working with
customers around the world.
While the client’s core business growth is phenomenal, they are also diversifying into new industries, such as health care. This growth puts tremendous strain on IT resources supporting the growing list of projects, from business-critical IT infrastructure to meet the ever-increasing demands of business growth. System enhancements are underway to standardize business practices across newly acquired business units. The CIO’s vision for the future of IT includes improved performance in delivering projects, while maintaining costs and holding staffing levels to the absolute minimum. Implementing a PMO seemed a logical approach to achieving this vision.
Your task is to brainstorm as to what the project manager can do to support tremendous growth,
while at the same time improve performance of delivering projects.
What can be done to hold staffing costs to a minimum, while delivering projects?
