Organisational Assessments

Organisational Maturity Review

The challenge of linking organisational strategy to successful project delivery is one faced by even the most progressive of organisations, and there is no "one size fits all" remedy. That's why PMPartners has drawn from our years of experience in applying the following standards to develop a world class Organisational Maturity Review (OMR).

OPM3: Organisational Project Management Maturity Model v1 2003 (owned by the Project Management Institute). PMMM: PRINCE2 Maturity Model v2005 (owned by the Office of Government Commerce). Portfolio, Programme and Project Management Maturity Model (P3M3) v1.0, 2006 (owned by the Office of Government Commerce). PMO: The Australian Institute of Project Management's Project Managed Organisation Award. The PMPartners OMR is comprised of six streams: Portfolio and Program Management Infrastructure. Project Management Methodology. Project Governance. Organisational Improvement. Organisational Leadership and Innovation. Knowledge Management.

The benefits of matching against internationally accepted best practice include:

1. Deliver a benchmark for organisational infrastructure and results
2. Set realistic targets for improvement
3. Measure progress towards enhanced capability
4. Strategic Objectives become Business Results

Project Management: PRINCE2

This PRINCE2 Capability Assessment indicates the extent to which an organisation is successfully implementing PRINCE2, along with key recommendations and a suggested roadmap for short and long term organisational improvement. This Assessment is aligned with PRINCE2 v2005 and the PRINCE2 Maturity Model v2005 (owned by the Office of Government Commerce).

Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL)

ITIL is the most widely used IT process framework in the world, and its successful implementation and management is often the difference between an IT infrastructure success or failure. This Assessment addresses the ITIL Core Service Sets and all 11 Disciplines, and is aligned with ITIL v3 2007 (owned by the Office of Government Commerce).

Organisational Change Readiness Assessment

Ineffective change management is widely accepted as one of the most common causes of project failure. A project can deliver on its Objectives, but not realise the intended Benefits. This Organisational Change Readiness Assessment is a welcome checkpoint in any project wishing to confirm that the client organisation is ready accept its deliverables, and that the project is on track to deliver its benefits. This Assessment is aligned with the APM Group's Principles of Change Management qualification, matched with PMPartners own expertise in Organisational Change.
