PM On-Demand is task-level support for you….the front-line leader.
Now, when you need either advice or to delegate a critical task, you have seasoned managers you can turn to who are available when you need them.
When traditional tools and consulting are not the answer.
Every project, regardless of size, has a host of tasks that need to be done. In some cases, there is adequate time, funding and work volume to justify the engagement of traditional tools and contractors to help the project manager (PM) with these tasks. However, in most cases, the PM is left to fend for themselves against a sea of project issues.
PM On-Demand is the solution to this problem.
Compare PM On-Demand with Traditional Consulting
The Five T's
With PM On-Demand the PM now has a program that can be called on to provide affordable, responsive and highly skilled support. We define this program by the Five Ts:
Task: PM On-Demand focuses on task level activities. Now, you can get help with a specific task without having to purchase an expensive tool or sign a consulting agreement. A short list of example tasks that can be executed with PM On-Demand is:
- Provide advice on how to handle difficult project issues (i.e., how to influence management, deal with politics, manage scope, etc.)
- Write meeting minutes
- Host a conference call
- Develop a presentation
- Provide analysis of data provided in a report
- Map out a simple business process flow
- Provide templates for status reports, meeting minutes, requirements gathering, etc.
Timely: we commit to providing an initial response to all requests within 4 hours. Depending on the nature of the request, most requests are addressed with one-call.
Talent: the PM On-Demand staff supporting you have all held management positions at the Director or above level and have led organizations ranging in size from 15 to 200 staff and have managed projects from $20k to $12m in size. They are intimately familiar with the project, program, political, cultural and financial factors that you face and have the insight, tools and wisdom to position you to succeed.
Trim: PM On-Demand uses a unit system to quantify value. When you purchase one of our packages, you create a “bank account” of units that is drawn upon as we perform tasks for you. With this system, instead of paying a contractor to sit around until you need them, we trim this fat away, and you pay only for the value we provide.
Trust: all information and support we provide you as part of your package is maintained in the strictest confidence.
