Benefits of Using an Accredited Consulting Organization
APMG-International accredits a network of Accredited Consulting Organizations (ACOs) worldwide. If you would like consultancy advice to aid your organization by providing support, expertise in process implementation, or maturity level assessment, please contact an Accredited Consulting Organization to discuss your options.
There are a number of important advantages and benefits that accredited consultants can bring to your organization:
- Prior to accreditation, all Consulting Organizations and Consultants are assessed using a rigorous process, to ensure they meet APMG-International standards. They are re-assessed regularly to ensure that they continue to meet the high standards we set.
- Due to their close relationship with APMG-International, ACOs are up-to-date with developments concerning the methodology; are up-to-date with all the latest developments in Portfolio, Programme, Project and Risk Management; and have access to pre-release information prior to new versions of the manual being released.
ACOs employ at least one APMG Registered Consultant, who are accredited in one or more of the following specialisations:
- CHAMPS2 Consulting
- Change Management Consulting
- Management of Portfolios (MoP™) Consulting
- Management of Risk (M_o_R®) Consulting
- Management of Value (MoV®) Consulting
- Managing Successful Programmes (MSP®) Consulting
- P3O® Consulting
- Programme and Project Management Consulting
- PRINCE2® Consulting.
Further to Queensland University of Technology's (QUT) research into PRINCE2 performance, which highlighted the fact that PRINCE2 is a complete and thorough project management methodology, APMG ACOs can help organizations with the shortcomings identified in that research, namely:
- Poor governance
- Poor sponsorship
- Poor tailoring
- Poor embedding.
Maturity Assessment
Registered Consultants have exclusive rights to assess organizations against the Cabinet Office Portfolio, Programme and Project Management Maturity Model (P3M3®) and the PRINCE2 Maturity Model. They can help your organization benchmark your programme, project and risk management processes, and provide the support you require in order to drive further improvement.
