Letter from the CMCS Founder
Dear Colleague,
I would like to start first by thanking our 1,500+ clients and CMCS family who
have made CMCS what it is today and who are continuously helping us to
grow.
CMCS was founded with a clear vision in mind, and that is how we can help our
clients eradicate failed project investments. Failed projects could be ones that were
wrongly chosen to begin with, as well as those that failed to achieve their desired
objectives. Project failure is more than only finishing late or over budget.
Achieving this vision requires enabling our clients to build environments that
professional project management practices can flourish in. Organizations that are
known for their successful project delivery track records will earn loyal customers,
who will entrust them with their project investments. These organizations have a
much greater value for their investors than groups that no one is willing to retain.
So how can we help those organizations to build the necessary project manage-ment
friendly environments? Well, the answer is very simple: CMCS will firstly help
your organization to strengthen the capacity of your team in managing projects
and initiatives through professional development programs that are based on in-ternationally
recognised certifications. Secondly, we work with you to build project
management policies and processes based on global best practices for managing
projects, programs and portfolios to ensure speedy and efficient delivery. Finally,
CMCS implements state-of-the-art project management tools to support process
implementation, information sharing, performance monitoring and the capturing
of best practices and lessons learned.
Once you have the right people, processes and tools - coupled with the commit-ment
to change, your organization’s journey to a more successful project deliv-ery
will begin. It’s a journey that will result in a number of tangible benefits and
increase the value of your organization such that you will never want to go back to
how things were. Trust me on that.
Enjoy professional project management like we do.
Bassam Samman, PMP, PSP, EVP
Chairman, CEO and Founder

2. Develop and Implement the Desired
Improvements
Develop Project and Risk Management
Procedures: For improvements to happen,
your organization should detail how those will
be achieved. By developing ISO 10006 and ISO
31000 based standard operating procedures for
managing projects and risks, your organization
can show their stakeholders on how this will
be achieved, establish governance and set
accountability for actions.
3. Enable Your Team To Implement The
Improvements
Professional Development: Your organization
stakeholder can only buy into those
improvements when they become aware of the
benefits of project and risk management that
will bring to them and the organization. CMCS
implements role-focused training programs that
will increase the staff competency in managing
projects and risks. Those programs accredited by
international bodies who offer project and risk
management professional certifications such as
PMI, AACE, IIBA, PMOC, CSI and Oracle University.

8. 4. Improve Enterprise Project and Risk Management Communication

version of the truth”. CMCS implements state of the art solutions for enterprise project management (Oracle Primavera, DELTEK,
Active Risk Management, Synchro, TILOS, ASTA, Latista, CoreWorx and others) and enterprise risk management (Active Risk

5. Establish Ownership Of The Improvements
Develop PMO and RMO. Setting up and rolling Project Management Office (PMO) and Risk Management Office (RMO) to take
ownership of the completed solution and ensure that continuous improvements are identified and implemented. The PMO and
RMO will become the critical chain that links your organization non-project and project executives.
