OPM3 is the light touch to realize your organization enablers and improve

your processes.

o For organizations that deliver their strategy using projects, OPM3 is the newest tool to

diagnose and improve the organization’s ability to deliver the right projects the right

way. OPM3 is a new standard, delivered through the Project Management Institute

(PMI) that provides the industry best practices for delivering strategy through

organizational project management.

o Through the OPM3 cycle, an organization determines its ability to deliver its strategy

through a comprehensive assessment of its organizational project management

processes and activities. Once the extent of implementation is understood, the

organization then determines the gaps in its implementation of OPM that impact its

ability to deliver its strategy. Improvement plans are built and executed that drive and

improve business performance.

Why an OPM3 ProductSuite Assessment?

o Organizations are increasingly looking to third parties for qualified assistance to help

them improve their business performance. They recognize that an external party can

bring invaluable knowledge, competence and, most importantly, objectivity.

o An assessment carried out using the OPM3 ProductSuite® and a certified OPM3

professional gives the most accurate and effective evaluation of any organization’s

implementation of OPM. This assessment is done by comparing the organization, its

processes and its procedures to the current industry best practices as provided in the

Project Management Institute’s standard, OPM3.

o The information generated by an OPM3 ProductSuite Assessment provides the

organization with a clear picture of what is and is not working in regard to organizational

project management. In addition to this critical information, we provide a set of

recommendations to improve the organization's performance as well as a detailed road

map and time line of activities to be undertaken.

o Another benefit that our company brings to you is the ability to compare your

organization's current organizational project management performance against other

anonymous organizations. Our database of assessments is growing rapidly and we can

provide valuable insight into how other organizations are performing
