PMO & Governance Setup
Establishing effective project management offices and governance frameworks that give leadership visibility and teams clarity. Structure that enables, not restricts.
You have projects everywhere. But no clear picture.
Your organization is running dozens of projects and initiatives. But leadership can't get a straight answer on what's on track, what's at risk, and where resources are actually going. Decisions get made in silos. Priorities conflict. Good projects die quietly because nobody noticed they needed help.
A well-designed PMO changes that. Not by adding bureaucracy, but by creating the visibility, consistency, and decision-making frameworks that let an organization manage its portfolio with confidence.
I help companies set up PMO functions and governance structures that actually get used. Lightweight enough to be practical, robust enough to give leadership the clarity they need.
Why trust me with your PMO setup
Enterprise PMO experience
I've established and improved PMO functions in organizations from 500 to 15,000 employees. I know what works at scale and what becomes shelfware.
Governance that balances
Good governance is about enabling good decisions, not creating approval bottlenecks. I design frameworks that give leadership control without slowing down delivery teams.
Portfolio visibility
I build reporting structures that tell the truth about your project portfolio. Not vanity dashboards, but actionable information that drives better resource allocation and prioritization.
Practical implementation
I don't just design a PMO on paper and hand over a slide deck. I implement it, train your people, and stay until it's running smoothly on its own.
What I deliver
PMO Assessment & Design
Evaluating your current project management maturity and designing a PMO structure that fits your organization. Governance model, reporting framework, tooling recommendations, and implementation roadmap.
What you get
PMO charter, governance framework, reporting templates, tooling assessment, 90-day implementation plan.
PMO Implementation
Standing up your PMO from scratch or restructuring an existing one. Establishing processes, implementing tools, training staff, and embedding the function into your organization's operating rhythm.
Portfolio Governance Framework
Designing the decision-making structures for your project portfolio. Stage gates, prioritization criteria, resource allocation models, and escalation paths that actually get followed.
PMO Coaching & Maturity Improvement
For organizations with an existing PMO that needs to level up. Coaching PMO staff, improving processes, enhancing reporting, and increasing the function's credibility with stakeholders.
What working together looks like
Discovery & assessment
I map your current project landscape, decision-making patterns, and pain points. Who makes decisions? Where does information get lost? What frustrates your project managers and your leadership?
Design
Based on the assessment, I design a PMO model and governance framework tailored to your organization's culture, size, and maturity. Always the lightest viable process.
Implementation
I build the PMO function alongside your team. Processes, templates, tools, reporting cadence. Everything gets tested in practice before it becomes standard.
Embedding
The PMO needs to earn its place. I help build credibility with stakeholders, train staff, and establish the habits that make governance sustainable after I leave.
This might be right for you if...
You're a CIO, Head of Portfolio, or VP of Operations at a Nordic enterprise that's outgrown ad-hoc project management. You need visibility across your project portfolio, consistent delivery practices, and a governance structure that helps leadership make better investment decisions.
I work with organizations of 500 to 20,000 employees, particularly in sectors with complex project portfolios — technology, public sector, energy, and financial services.
If you're looking for someone to implement a rigid PMI-standard PMO by the book, I'm probably not the right fit. I build PMOs that people actually want to work with.
