cost overruns were adding up.

to achieve the expected results.

and implement for the HR Transformation Program.
 The following days, company contracted two professional program and project managers to
turn around and recover the troubled initiative.
 The effort required for the projects and tensions between the stakeholders were high and
expectations management was a critical element to success.
 Applying PM Solutions has made easy facilitation to study overall program challenges.
 The PMP consultants reset client/vendor requirements, milestones, resource projections,
estimates, review and recovery techniques and delivery targets through PMP knowledge.

8. The Results.
 All 15 projects within the program were completed on schedule and on budget, with
no service disruptions or outages during the execution transition.
 Within seven months of projects/ program completion, the client had reduced HR
expenses from US $20 million to $6.8 million per year, and targeted for a $5 million
per year run rate.
 As of the success on this initiative, PMP Solutions continued to work with this client to
build an organizational project management methodology, mature project
management practices, and help improve project execution across the organization.
