Reprioritizing Pharma Projects

The Project Management Office at a global pharma company’s North American division was struggling to keep up with the hundreds of initiatives it coordinated across the business. Hoping to restructure reporting practices and reprioritize the work, the head of corporate strategy turned to Business Talent Group.

Our consultant began by reviewing the company’s project inventory and reporting structures. Realizing that there was little alignment between the ongoing work and the company’s strategic objectives, he coordinated with the PMO and the strategy team to create a comprehensive Strategy Map. This framework helped the PMO not just classify and keep track of ongoing projects, but make sure everything was linked to topline strategic priorities.
