We perform assessment and improvement services for organizational project management maturity using applicable tools and models, including the following:

1. The PMI's OPM3^® model using our own EXCLUSIVE software tool. Our certified consultants conduct assessment for the organizational project management practices and processes, in order to benchmark the organization on the project management maturity spectrum and to develop the appropriate improvement plan based on the organization current status and future goals, with continual follow-up on the implementation of the improvement plan, and possible re-assessment and status update. Services include:

• Full assessment using detailed interviews and questions of the OPM3 model. In order to contract us for conducting OPM3 Assessments and/or Improvements, please submit your request through this form to enable us to do initial sizing and scoping of the project.

• Self-Assessment reporting using our tool if you send to us your answers to the self-assessment questionnaire included in our Toolkits page, so that we prepare the assessment report for you based on your answers. In order to get this service, contact us by sending your self-assessment answers.

2. The P3M3^® model from Axelos Global Best Practice. We conduct assessment of organizational maturity in the three domains: Project Management (PjM3), Program Management (PgM3), and Portfolio Management (PfM3), using the self-assessment tools for each of the three models. The assessment identifies the organization's maturity level according to the 5-level maturity scale, by evaluating attributes of each of the seven process perspectives: Management Control, Benefits Management, Financial Management, Stakeholder Engagement, Risk Management, Organizational Governance, and Resource Management.

An assessment report explaining the results along with recommendations for further improvement is delivered to the customer. A certificate is issued with the achieved level of maturity based on the preformed assessment. The certificate is under our firm's name, and is not accredited or officially endorsed by any accreditation body. In order to contract us for conducting P3M3 assessments, please submit your request through this form to enable us to do initial sizing and scoping of the project. Why to take P3M3 Consulting Services from us?

3. The IPMA's Delta^® model for assessment of project management competence across 3 dimensions: Individual project managers competence (module I, using ICB model), projects competence (module P, using Project Excellence Model), and organizational competence (module O, using OCB model). Each of the 3 dimensions is assessed using the respective model and the assessment results provide the achieved level on each dimension. Our support helps organizations in performing an internal assessment to prepare for the official assessment to be carried out by IPMA itself for final certification.
