SPMO Consulting

Hi, I'm Philipp! Welcome to SPMO Consulting. It's a pleasure to have you here.

How are you? Please let me ask you a couple more questions:
Are you seeking transparency in your project endeavors? Do you require effective governance for streamlined and efficient management? Are you unsure about projects aligned with your strategic goals? Is resource utilization optimization a priority? Have past projects fallen short of expected outcomes? Are large initiatives on your horizon?
If your response is 'yes' to any of these questions, let's get in touch to talk about your needs.

Yours,
Philipp Hermann

About Me:
I'm a proactive leader and team player, specialized in Project Portfolio Management (PPM) and Project Management Office (PMO). Holding PMP and Scrum certifications, I've gained international experience at IBM, Ericsson, Shell, Pfizer, DHL, E.ON, Uniper and TRUMPF. I am based in Berlin, I'm fluent in German and English and I operate remotely worldwide.

My Service Portfolio goes ...

... from “Doing the right projects” to “Doing the projects right”!

Project Portfolio Management (PPM)

It's all about to "do the right projects", to achieve your company targets! A balanced Project Portfolio should be aligned with your company strategy. Accordingly it will support you to achieve your targets. Capacity Management is included as well, which is aside from the strategic alignment, the foundation to be able to deliver and make it happen!

Project Management Office (PMO)

A centralized function, which serves and supports your organization to your needs. There is no "one size fits all"!
Supportive, controlling or directive? Maybe a mixture? Fore sure not the police, but the right portion of governance should come with it. Are you looking for a SPMO, which means a Strategic Project Management Office? Let's do it!

Program | Project Management (PM)

Waterfall vs Agile? Well, the methodology really depends on what kind of projects you want to execute and on what style your organization operates. The company culture must be taken into account as well. Here the focus is more on "doing the projects right".
Programs help to manage projects on a consolidated and higher level, which have a similar focus.
