A PMO is a Program Management Office or Project Management Office, with the latter being to manage a specific initiative (e.g. ERP install).
• A Program Management Office is usually tasked to manage multiple initiatives across a company.
• Many times these are set-up for specific reasons, such as embarking on a transformation or a merger, or as a permanent support function.
• Information Technology and related areas are the most common focus, but Supply Chain also is a common area in which to have PMOs.
• PMOs allow for centralization of project activities, distribution of resources, scheduling of commitments, coordination of suppliers and contractors, and metric tracking/communication for an organization.
• A PMO also allows Management to leverage the infrastructure to add or prioritize new initiatives and ensure minimal disruption or the creation of redundant management resources.
CLIENTX What is a PMO? Why do you need one?
PMOs can be very effective organizational additions, and they both have many options as well as many places where they can get off track.
4 Jay Martin May 2017 CLIENTX.ppt
The process for setting up the PMO can be described with 5 stages.
CLIENTX Set-up Process
Definition Set-up Project
Plans
Operation &
Reporting Transition
Deliverables or End-State
PMO Charter and
Scope are structured
and understood
Core of PMO

completely transitioned
away from consultants
and transferred over to
company employees
• Confirm objectives

The PMO will focus on a variety of critical areas for its success and that of the company, mostly within the ‘Operating & Reporting’ Phase
CLIENTX Major PMO Activities
# Area Description / Activities
1 Project Objectives / Charters Overall objectives of the Project(s) or managing ties to the Corporate Goals.
2 Governance Operational rules of both the PMO as well as specific project management. Regular
meetings, along with executive updates should be planned out as well.
3 Organization & Roles Define contribution of groups (e.g. Steering Committee) or individuals.
4 Planning Overall planning of individual projects as well as their fit within the scope of the PMO.
5 Metrics & Measurement Focus and calculations of different metrics, including progress, financial,
achievement, financial, quality and timing. This includes targets also.
6 Benefits Realization The realization of actual, tangible benefits as a result of the efforts of the projects.
7 Reporting & Communications Developing reporting on the metrics, along with a comprehensive stakeholder
communications plan is key to the success of the projects and the PMO itself.
8 Resources Assigning, requesting, deploying and managing resources across projects.
9 Change Management Provide the leadership, tools and direction to ensure that new processes and
changes are understood and adopted throughout the organization.
10 Training Training in new processes includes the dissemination of knowledge or to support the
adoption of new processes.
11 Priorities Set project and resource priorities to support overall corporate objectives.
12 Processes Develop and implement new processes and supporting controls.
13 Risk Management Identify, track and manage risks to the project, company and employees.
14 Tools Tools refers to things like collaboration software, e.g. SharePoint. This also includes
Knowledge Management storage tools as well.

Implementation Options – below are some top level ideas on execution.
CLIENTX Implementation Options
# Name Description Pros / Cons
1 Big Bang & Stay Stores have the team kick-off the
transformation of all processes, then
guide them until they are finished
Need a lot of teams to do this
Timeline would be in jeopardy
Would provide for greatest control
Permit perfection before roll-out
2 Big Bang & Leave
Stores have the team kick-off the
transformation of all processes, then
after a set time, leave them to finish
the implementation & check back
Could set a fixed schedule
Core processes done by team
Deal with laggard stores directly
Long tail does not hold up project
3 Periphery then Core
Non-core process documents are
provided to all to implement to start,
then teams go in and implement the
core customer related processes later
Allows all stores to make progress
Can motivate changes locally
Allow focus of team on core process
Lose continuity of learnings
4 Peer Help
A Train the Trainer model where core
stores implement the change, then
exchange staff and support the stores
in close physical proximity
Reduced team numbers
Local focus / cooperation
Reduced lead-time
Reduced central standards
5 Call Us
In this option resources and some
limited support are offered to all
stores, possibly at once, then they
reach out to have an audit done
Teams focused on helping / audits
Benefits realized sooner / all over
Lack of conformity in implementation
Reduced central control of change
7 Jay Martin May 2017 CLIENTX.ppt
The different Metrics options and our plan should be discussed, so as to properly focus the project, reporting and priorities of the team.
CLIENTX Metric Discussion
# Top Level Area Description / Questions Answered
1
The Project
Progress /
Status
Status of the project as compared to targets. This is both in terms of
time, task completion and status of issues and action items.
2 Costs Expenses and investments in both project and changes in the field.
3 Resources Deployment of resources & training as compared to expectations.
4 Scope Scope agreed upon and changes and additions requested.
5 Action Items Quantity of open/closed items brought up during the course of the
project. This is more in reference to individual items versus a count.
6 Risks Track on-going risks and identify new ones. Assess impacts, potential
and the employment of mitigation.
7
The Business
Financial Financial impact of costs and improvements, a model to predict
performance and help make decisions, e.g. Gross Margin by store.
8 Operations Operational metrics that could provide insight to change impacts.
9 Quality &
Satisfaction
Overall assessment from Customers with respect to Quality of results
of Service, or Staff on overall Workplace Satisfaction or with Project.
10 Adoption &
Compliance
Level of adoption of new processes or level of compliance to
PROJECT objectives and roll-out. (could be seen as a Project Metric)

Below are 5 key Change Management Tools that we would need to consider developing. Details/options would be laid out in the first week.
CLIENTX Change Management Tools
Tool Name Description/Value
A Change Impact
Assessment
Document and prepare for any changes related to processes, policies, systems and
data and understand the impacts of those changes. Changes should be mapped on a
quadrant by Degree of Change versus Quantity of People Impacted to understand
priorities. Given that acquisitions all will have a great variety of conformance (or lack
of), they may be required to be assessed on a site by site basis.
B Process Change
Documentation
Details of all the processes and supporting details. Assuming this was completed or
mostly completed in the Pilots. One issue is that the ‘Current State’ Process will most
likely not be consistent due to all the variants that are most likely resident in all of the
different locations. This is easy to accommodate given that the goal is the ‘Future
State’ and we can drive people into that process from any method currently used.
C Communication
Plan to Impacted
Stakeholders
Develop a Communication Plan by Phase of the project. Not sure if most of the focus
and changes will be in the field or not, but all groups should be considered and
included if needed. Some of the methods to do this include: Road Shows, Videos /
Peer Success Stories, Email updates, reporting, Demos and Focus Groups (with
respect to understanding how things went and what could be better for next stores).
D Readiness
Assessment
Evaluate the degree of change by location, and assess the readiness/willingness and
ability to accommodate it. This is complicated, but without doubt some locations or
entire acquisitions will prove to be more challenging than others. Some cultural
evaluations and parameters will need to be reviewed, and will be of great value as
PROJECT is rolled out across the portfolio of stores.
E Training on
Changes
Identify employee population segments, both by roles and other parameters related to
learning. Build training materials, and attempt to refine so as to accommodate all
variations of ‘Current State’. Conduct Training Pilots first, and revise during the
implementation as improvements become obvious. Create a logistics and roll-out plan
that will enable the implementation to fit within the targeted budget and time frame.
10 Jay Martin May 2017 CLIENTX.ppt
CLIENTX has a lot of people that it will need to accomplish this. Below is the start on the conversation of ‘where will we get people?’
CLIENTX Resource Sourcing
# Where Who Thoughts
1
External
Consultants
Always a safe bet, but outside of adding a possibly couple
more, probably overkill. This project will require a lot of bodies,
and too many consultants would be a poor use of cash as
opposed to getting more of the less expensive people below.
2 Non-Consultant Contractors
This would be a more effective use of resources, and should be
considered in the event that some of the options below are not
viable. The skills needed for execution of this can be taught or
are present in a variety of individuals available.
3 New Hires (HQ or Field)
This is my preference. Idea would be to forecast staff additions
for the company in next 18 months. Start hiring people with
those skills to backfill departures or growth needs, but start
them off as Team members for this project first.
4
Internal
HQ Staff
Some HQ staff will obviously be a part of this, but no client ever
is willing to give up their best line staff for projects. They can’t
afford it, so they offer up those that are ‘available’. If we want
the project to be successful, we need to balance this.
5 Field Management
This is a great group, but a tricky one. Depending on which
implementation option we use, these could really be the leads,
especially within their local areas. As with HQ Staff, we need to
beware of engaging the best, versus the available.
6 Field Staff
Line staff at stores should be a great resource. Within Metro
areas, they can be moved around fairly easily to either learn or
teach, and their knowledge and path to the Future State should
resonate well with their peers at other stores.
11 Jay Martin May 2017 CLIENTX.ppt
Below are some of the major variants of decisions for the roll-out. (1/3)
CLIENTX Roll-out Options
# Area Option Description Rationale
1 Macro Level
Geographic
Focus
Outward Start in HQCITY, move outward to
neighboring states then to furthest away
HQCITY will have the most control
and best cohesion to a corporate
initiative, can involve more people
Inward /
Periphery Start at furthest away, inward back
towards HQCITY and HQSTATE
Attack the ones that will be the
hardest first, learn the most, obtain
the most push back first
Oldest Stores which have been part of
CLIENTX the longest
Understand the change versus how
we do things today, and have the
most likely staff buy-in
Newest Stores which have been part of
CLIENTX the shortest
As part of the transition from an
acquisition, better to make changes
here as we would have anyways
Random No focused order, just select at random Not sure why you’d want this, but it is
an option
Internal
Structure Using Regions or other structure to
either consolidate or disperse efforts
Due to political motivations, might
want to focus or spread out given
Regional Management structures
Size Size of the locations in terms of revenue
or staff at the location
Might want to tackle the larger stores
first, then move on to smaller ones
Resistance The expected level of resistance to
adoption of new ways, either greatest or
least
Least resistance provides quicker
wins, while greater provides better
learning and tackling hardest first
Other We can discuss other options Curious to see which ones I missed
12 Jay Martin May 2017 CLIENTX.ppt
Below are some of the major variants of decisions for the roll-out. (2/3)
CLIENTX Roll-out Options
# Area Option Description Rationale
2 Overlap
None Vision is to take a batch of stores,
implement it and then start the next
when done.
Get a store started then finished,
move on to the next so we know that
things are running the way we want.
Planned A stepped program where some overlap
between batches is planned
This is similar to Rolling, but here the
bulk of the effort is completed before
additional batches are started.
Fall Back No overlap is planned, but some
overlap or residual is provided for as
unforeseen events will cause this.
Do not think Fall Back or None are
viable options given the number of
stores, the number of teams would
be costly and prohibitive.
Rolling
There is a constant overlap on the
implementation as the teams move in,
get things started, then hand off to the
store staff and follow-up later.
This model would have the most
stores in-work at once, and could
become unwieldy from a coordination
stand point.
3 Batch Size
Large A large batch size might be a few dozen
at a time
A lot of risk to do many at once,
though could be efficient as far as
staffing goes
Small Smaller batches could be 4-10 stores
Easier to manage, but would need
larger number of teams to make
schedule, plus greater risk of
variations across the teams
Variable
Could vary over time, maybe starting
with smaller numbers then moving to
larger ones as process is refined or as
more trained people come on line
This is an interesting option, and not
sure what the current plan is
13 Jay Martin May 2017 CLIENTX.ppt
Below are some of the major variants of decisions for the roll-out. (3/3)
CLIENTX Roll-out Options
# Area Option Description Rationale
4 Micro Level
Geography
Nucleus
Store
Implement in a ‘nucleus’ store, then use
their success and staff to roll-out later
into the other stores nearby
Not sure if this is realistic from a
travel perspective, depends on how
many teams you field, but is a viable
option from an adoption perspective
Proximity
/ Metro Roll-out in groups so teams can work
the different areas together
Makes most sense from a travel
efficiency standpoint
Ignore
Proximity
Disregard proximity to other stores
where implementations are being
conducted
Too hard to manage and makes no
sense from a travel perspective. Not
a real option, but listing it anyways
5 Implementation
Planning
Same
Process Use the same methodology for the roll-
out at all stores
This is an option, albeit not a good
one given variability of acquired
stores
Partial Use a similar structure for all stores, but
then create variants depending on
which acquisition or expected adoption
Possible option with Semi-Custom,
should discuss which makes sense
Custom Build out a specific implementation for
each individual store Too many to do it this way
Semi-
Custom
Create profiles of different types of
stores, then create a set of different
implementation plans for each
This and Partial are very similar, by
far the best options and should be
discussed in detail
14 Jay Martin May 2017 CLIENTX.ppt
Understanding why people on your team resist change is critical so as decisions regarding how to mitigate it, or retain them, can be made.
CLIENTX Resistance Profiles
# Profile/Reason Resistance Rationale Response
1 Autonomy Dislike for not being allowed to
continue to do things the way
they have been done.
People will be used to doing
their ‘own thing’, and resist
outside control and rules
Help to understand the new
ways will be only ways, but
autonomy within them is okay
2 Fear Fear of the new and unknown
Overall resistance and
negative gossip towards new
things and central control
Understand fear drivers, be
tolerant of time to adopt and
how fears were unfounded
3 Loyalty to Others Resistance driven by loyalty to
past owners or management
Will follow those who have
provided them opportunity,
easily convinced by them
Focus on others or look to
move them out from under
those who are resistant
4 Adherence to Past Resistance driven by desire to
retain the old way of doing
things
People are set in their ways,
really believe there are no
better ways.
Invest in time to train them in
the new ways, show
differences in performance
5 Disbelief / Doubt Doubt that the new system will
either work or work better
Skepticism that the new
ways will be better, that their
store is ‘different’ than rest
Demonstrate success, get
their doubts into open to
convince them of reality
6 Inability to Change Could be age or personality,
but this is the sheer inability to
do things in a new method
Sometimes just a personality
trait, sometimes a function of
time in place or intellect
Work to change them, or
make sure not in critical area
7 Inability to Adopt Different than change, this is a
technical or learning issue with
adopting new systems
Possibly a function of
education or intellect, not
very adaptable
Work to change them, or
make sure not in critical area
8 Theft Person is stealing or somehow
profiting from the business
outside their compensation
With little controls from
acquired companies, surely
some people are stealing
Identify, prevent, review for
termination and punishment
9 Toxic or Sociopath Person is just intent on
creating trouble or dissent
People like this love to cause
disruption. Their net impact
is never positive to business
Identify, isolate, terminate
