Large Portfolio, Program and Project Management Services using SmartBluePrints: PMO

Blue Globe's Large Portfolio, Program, and Project Management Services leverage more than three decades of experience with complex, integrated portfolios, programs, and projects that are mission critical for today's organizations. Blue Globe can provide leadership, value-added advisory support, and assessment/improvement recommendations for your large Portfolio, Program, or Project. In September of 2019, Blue Globe Systems released v1.0 of SmartBluePrints: PMO. SmartBluePrints: PMO provides industrial-strength support to your Portfolios, Programs, and large, mission-critical projects. It can also be your tool-kit to roll-out that new PMO or perhaps to re-vamp the one that is already running to provide foundational support for those initiatives that you just cannot afford to have fail. All SmartBluePrints leverage decades of Blue Globe Management Consulting experience and smart, malleable no-code components built on Smartsheet technology, which won't require a large Information Technology shop to support.

PMO Architecture and Advisory Services with SmartBluePrints: PMO

Blue Globe's PMO Architecture and Advisory Services focus on helping organizations develop -- or re-tool -- a Project Management Office that fits the environment, culture and portfolios of projects present in the organization. This is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor. Indeed, a lot of Project Management Offices (PMO's) have been rolled out in the last 15 or 20 years. Many of these roll-out efforts could be characterized as not knowing where to start, and certainly lacking a tool-box or set of blue prints. This may be why many PMO's are not viewed as extremely successful. Here is where SmartBluePrints: PMO comes in. It can be your foundation to roll-out that new PMO or perhaps to re-tool the one that is already running. SmartBluePrints: PMO includes standardized Portfolio, Program, Project, and Demand Management components, as well as Multi-dimensional Resource and Organizational Change Management components. The current release, v1.0, includes support for managing three different types of project portfolios: Business Process Improvement Projects, Standard IT Projects, and Agile IT Projects. All SmartBluePrints leverage decades of Blue Globe Management Consulting experience and smart, malleable no-code components built on Smartsheet technology, which won't require a large Information Technology shop to support.

Strategy and Strategic Business Planning Advisory using SmartBluePrints: Strategic Business Plan Architect

Whether your organization is rethinking its specific approach as part of a larger enterprise, or you are part of a start-up effort -- or even a "restart" of an existing business -- Blue Globe can help you take your strategy, strategic planning, and business planning efforts in the right direction. Strategic planning and strategy in general are often associated with an open-ended, brainstorming process, but this process needs to be managed to be effective. All Blue Globe Strategy, Strategic Planning, and Business Planning projects utilize a customized template of strategy and business planning tasks -- using Smartsheet, of course -- to help guide the scope and focus of the effort. Beginning in the first quarter of 2020, Blue Globe Systems will release v1.0 of Strategic Business Plan Architect to make Strategy and Strategic Planning that much more effective. One of the critical success factors in any Strategy or Strategic Business Planning effort is having an approach that effectively focuses the key participants in the right areas and structures the "output" of workshops and other planning activities in a production direction. Doing this without a set of tools is possible, but certainly not the optimal approach. Blue Globe's SmartBluePrints: Strategic Business Plan Architect provides a toolbox to help start your Strategic Business Planning efforts off right and keep you on the right path, providing Smartsheet-enabled Dashboards, Brainstorming/Plan Component Authoring tools, and integrated Financials.
