A prominent global apparel company sought to optimize project delivery by establishing a formal Project Management Office (PMO). With complex initiatives underway across multiple departments, the organization recognized the need for a structured framework to improve governance, coordination, and strategic alignment. We partnered with them to design the PMO, build internal project management capability, and ensure sustained adoption through stakeholder engagement and change management support.
Client: Leading Apparel Company
Scope: PMO design, stakeholder engagement, and project management capability building
Focus Areas: PMO Development, Change Management, Stakeholder Engagement, Training & Capability Building
Results: Established a structured, value-driven PMO that enhanced visibility, improved collaboration, and positioned the PMO as a strategic partner to leadership
While the company understood the value of a PMO, implementing one presented several challenges. The organization faced limited executive sponsorship, inconsistent collaboration between groups, and varying levels of project management maturity. Leadership needed support in defining the PMO’s purpose, structure, and services while fostering buy-in across the enterprise.
Key challenges included:
Lack of executive sponsorship and unified vision for the PMO
Misalignment between departments and unclear accountability
Knowledge gaps around PMO frameworks and best practices
Need for stakeholder engagement, change management, and capability training
We took a hands-on approach, leveraging our proven PMO development framework to design and implement a scalable, outcome-focused PMO. Beginning with stakeholder interviews and assessments, we developed a tailored structure that defined clear roles, workflows, and service offerings.
Our focus extended beyond structure—we equipped the organization to sustain success by delivering practical project management training and coaching to over 150 employees. By embedding governance processes and building organizational capability, we helped the company establish a PMO that enabled collaboration, transparency, and strategic delivery.
Key actions included:
Conducted stakeholder interviews and PMO maturity assessments
Designed the PMO structure, services, and workflows
Implemented governance and resource planning processes
Delivered project management and PMO training to 150+ employees

Within months, the company had a fully functioning, value-driven PMO that improved coordination, performance, and visibility across initiatives. Enhanced data-driven reporting allowed leadership to make informed decisions and better align resources with business priorities. The PMO’s focus on outcomes and cross-functional collaboration positioned it as a trusted strategic partner to the enterprise.
Key results included:
Established a formal PMO with defined roles, structure, and governance
Enhanced visibility into programs, resources, and financials
Improved project prioritization and decision-making through data insights
