Bestoutcome appoints JEMCO Associates as strategic partner in Scotland
PM3 becomes JEMCO’s preferred project and portfolio management solution
London, 27 November, 2012 – Bestoutcome, the specialist consultancy in complex change management for large organisations, has appointed JEMCO Associates as its strategic partner in Scotland. JEMCO will offer Bestoutcome’s industry-leading project and portfolio management software solution, PM3, alongside its own training and consultancy services.
JEMCO Associates was formed in 1991 out of a growing demand for support and training in the specialist field of project management and IT. Serving markets including Finance, Energy Supply, and Local Authorities, JEMCO Associates offers an integrated range of services and takes a business-oriented approach to delivering pragmatic, effective solutions.
“We have been very impressed by JEMCO’s leadership team, training credentials and market knowledge and we believe it is the ideal partner for us to expand into what is an extremely active market, ” says Mike Pryor, principal consultant, Bestoutcome. “We ensure that all our customers realise the maximum benefit from implementing PM3 and strategic partnerships are critical to us being able to achieve this.”
PM3 is Bestoutcome’s flagship project portfolio management toolset developed by practitioners for practitioners. PM3 focuses on outcomes and change, planned back from the end goal, ensuring the team maintains focus on delivering the change instead of just 'carrying out a series of activities'. PM3 allows critical milestones, risks and issues to be escalated from a project level to a programme level so that management can quickly identify the areas that require action while project teams stay focused on delivering successful business outcomes. PM3 encompasses change management, resource and capacity management, outcome-driven planning, project office support, risk mitigation and benefits realisation.
“Many organisations lack the skills to properly implement a project management solution using traditional GANTT Chart planning methods as they can be too heavy on detail,” explains John Cowie managing director of JEMCO Associates. “PM3 focuses senior management on the key milestones within the portfolio and offers companies a much more practical and effective alternative. We are really looking forward to working with Bestoutcome and delivering PM3 to the market.”
