Turnaround
PMO + Governance
Chaos. The seemingly inevitable downfall of performance improvement efforts as they enter the change management and implementation phase. Due to the sheer number of people involved, each with varying levels of understanding and often competing objectives. Factors that create a complex, potentially volatile landscape. This inherent chaos, if harnessed effectively, can breed innovation, consensus, and superior solutions. Left unchecked, it can derail even the most well-planned initiatives.
Our PMO + Governance services are designed to contain this chaos while leveraging its creative potential, ensuring that the collaborative efforts initiated during Change Management Planning translate into tangible, measurable results. Acting as the central nervous system of your turnaround efforts, we provide hands-on management of client implementation teams, from the C-suite to the front lines. We serve as the critical through-line from strategy to action, maintaining continuity of vision while driving implementation and needed adaptations on the ground. Our approach goes beyond traditional project management, actively identifying and clearing roadblocks, measuring outcomes, and providing senior management with real-time insights to keep the change program on track.
Turnaround
In turnaround scenarios, the journey from strategic vision to operational reality is not just complex — it's a race against time. With the organization's survival at stake, risks associated with errors or delays are more than just inconvenient. Those missteps can result in a total loss of an organization’s viability.
Our PMO + Governance services build upon the foundation laid by our Change Management Planning services, providing the tight structure, relentless oversight, and rapid adaptive management necessary to keep teams on track with their commitments as they navigate complexity, rebuild trust and belief, and create a virtuous cycle to enable longer-term performance improvement.
Tower Strategy creates and enables the conditions necessary to act on and capture performance gains on transformation and modernization initiatives.
