I still benefit from the workshops we had 10 years ago. The entire PMO, its practices, and methods were tailored perfectly to the company, the culture, and most importantly, the resources. At this juncture, I want to say: Thank you!

The centerline/ Paradigm Shift

Uninstall Rigid Structures and Systems
In every company there are structures and systems that...

... restrict people and their success more than they support them. These need to be identified, solved and re-aligned based on the living components within the corporate cosmos. The result is agile organizations with enormous growth potential.

Project Management and Complexity Management
Companies as well as projects and people are systems that are...

... alive and highly complex, and all fit into the big picture as autonomous system units. However, the key to sustainable project and company success is not to reduce this complexity, but instead to capture it so that it can be actively managed in its entirety.

Recognizing People as the Key Success Factor
The best company is only as good as the people who...

... work for its success, because people are the liveliest component in the whole business context. They alone are proactive in initiating positive and negative changes, as well as reactive, in relation to positive and negative influences. Successful people mean successful business

Accumulation, Management and Transfer of Knowledge
Knowledge is a resource that grows the more you...

...use it. That's why investing in knowledge is one of the best things a company can do. The return on investment is exponential because each new item of knowledge is automatically reinvested. This process can even be accelerated by promoting knowledge transfer between everyone involved.

Installing Custom-Built Systems and Tools
Each company is special, and no two are the same...

So why should companies deploy the same systems and tools or follow the same course as others? The answer is that they shouldn't. And that is why it is so important that they operate in their specific way. There are many routes to success, but they are never the same for any two companies.

Ongoing Optimization for More Autonomy and Success
True success – both for companies and people – is not...

...a goal, but a journey involving growth and change. By committing to ongoing optimization, companies generate more strength and the autonomy to take their strengths even further. Ultimately, this results in a continuous increase in success at all levels.
