Your PMO reports status.
Ours drives outcomes.

Portfolio-level delivery leadership, embedded in your organisation, accountable for results. Not a reporting function. Not a slide deck. Senior leaders who intervene before projects fail.

For CEO, COO

The Reporting Theatre

Most underperforming PMOs tell you a project is failing three weeks after everyone already knows. Your CEO and stakeholders get polished RAG reports that are not reflecting the truth. Your steering committee meets monthly to review slides nobody trusts. Meanwhile, zombie projects burn budget, priorities and milestones shift without consequence, and the team with the loudest voice gets the most resources.

The result? Fifteen concurrent projects. No clear prioritisation. No intervention capability. And a growing gap between what leadership sees and what's actually happening on the ground.

This isn't a people problem. It's a structural one. And hiring another Head of PMO won't fix it, because the system they inherit is the system that failed.

Two ways we work. One goal: delivery that actually delivers.

Every organisation is different. Some have a PMO team that needs upgrading. Others don't have one and don't want to build one. We offer both paths. Choose the one that fits your situation.

MODE 1

PMO Advisory & Capability Building

"Fix your PMO, then hand it back."

For companies with an existing PMO team that's underperforming.

Diagnose what’s broken across your portfolio governance, not just individual projects
Restructure decision-making: stage gates, escalation paths, prioritisation frameworks
Coach your existing PMO lead and team, with methodology aligned to your actual maturity, not textbook PMI
Kill zombie projects. Redirect resources to what delivers value.
Transfer knowledge throughout. Documented, not just verbal.
Planned handover. Your team continues independently.

Engagement: 3–12 months. Senior PMO lead embedded 3–5 days per week, with founding partner oversight. Our co-founder ran the PMO division at a major CEE banking group: 100 people, 5 teams, group-wide portfolio delivery. He's not advising on what a PMO should look like. He built one.

We leave your team stronger than we found it. The goal is capability, not dependency.

MODE 2

PMO Managed Service

"We run your PMO. You focus on the business."

For companies with no PMO function, or one that's been tried and abandoned.

Provide your entire PMO capability: governance, reporting, portfolio oversight, delivery tracking
Embed PMO leadership in your organisation, not remote, not part-time
Deliver honest executive briefings. No polished narratives. Actual portfolio status.
Manage resource allocation, vendor coordination, and ongoing prioritisation
Scale the team as your portfolio grows. Add PMs, analysts, coordinators as needed
Quarterly reviews to adapt scope as business needs shift

Engagement: Ongoing retainer. No planned end date. Quarterly performance reviews. Founding partner oversight from leaders who have run PMO divisions at banking group scale, not consultants who have only advised on them.

A battle-tested PMO function without the overhead of building one. Senior leadership from day one, not a junior learning on your budget.

How engagements begin

PMO as a Service is rarely the first thing a client buys. It's what they ask for after they see what we can do.

STEP 01

Health Check

Most engagements start here. A 5–15 day diagnostic of your highest-risk project or portfolio. It reveals whether the problem is isolated or systemic, and what kind of PMO capability you actually need.

STEP 02

Scoping Conversation

Based on Health Check findings (or your briefing if coming directly), we define the right mode, team structure, and engagement model. No generic proposals. Everything is scoped to your situation.

STEP 03

PMO Lead Deployment

A senior PMO lead from our team is embedded in your organisation within 2–4 weeks. Our partners provide strategic oversight and executive-level sponsor advisory from day one. One co-founder ran a 100-person PMO division at a major CEE banking group. The other served as board-level COO and CIO across the same group, leading 600+ people in 3 countries. They know what good looks like because they’ve built it.

STEP 04

Delivery & Adaptation

Monthly reviews with your executive sponsor. Quarterly scope adjustments. The engagement evolves as your portfolio does. We don’t lock you into a rigid scope that stops making sense after month three.

Already had a Health Check with us? We can move directly to scoping. The diagnostic work is already done.

Your PMO might need an intervention if...

You have 15 concurrent projects but can’t tell which ones will actually deliver value.

PMO Advisory or Managed Service

Your PMO tracks status. Nobody intervenes when things go wrong.

PMO Advisory & Capability Building

You’ve been hiring a Head of PMO for 6+ months. The role keeps turning over.

PMO Managed Service

Your steering committee meets monthly to review slides. Nothing changes between meetings.

PMO Advisory & Capability Building

Projects are late and over budget, but every status report says green.

Start with a Health Check, then PMO aaS

You tried a Big4 firm. Got a team of juniors and a stack of slides. Nothing changed.

Either mode: we’re leaders, not observers

Frequently Asked Questions

PMO as a Service means Epity provides your project management office capability — portfolio governance, delivery oversight, and honest executive reporting — as an embedded service rather than a function you build and staff yourself. Senior programme leaders intervene before projects fail, kill zombie projects, and hold delivery teams accountable for business outcomes, not process compliance. Every engagement runs under founding-partner oversight.

PMO Advisory fixes the PMO you already have: we diagnose what is broken, restructure governance, coach your PMO lead and team, and hand the function back stronger — typically over 3–12 months. PMO Managed Service is for organisations with no PMO, or one that has been tried and abandoned: we run the entire capability on an ongoing retainer, with quarterly performance reviews. Advisory builds capability; Managed provides it.

We work with it. In Advisory mode your team stays; we diagnose what is failing, restructure decision-making — stage gates, escalation paths, prioritisation — and coach your existing PMO lead. Knowledge transfer is documented and handover is planned from the start: the goal is capability, not dependency. We only run the PMO ourselves (Managed mode) where no functioning PMO exists.

A senior PMO lead is typically embedded within 2–4 weeks of scoping, with partner-level strategic oversight from day one. Most engagements begin with a Project Health Check — a 5–10 day diagnostic that shows whether your delivery problem is isolated or systemic — followed by a scoping conversation to define the right mode and team structure. Delivery is reviewed monthly with your executive sponsor.

Because a failing PMO is usually a structural problem, not a people problem. A new hire inherits the same broken governance that defeated their predecessor — which is why the role keeps turning over. PMO as a Service changes the system first: decision rights, stage gates, escalation paths, prioritisation. And you skip a lengthy executive search — a senior PMO lead is embedded within 2–4 weeks.

A founding partner leads every engagement — that is how Epity works across all services. One co-founder built and ran a 100-person PMO division at a major CEE banking group, overseeing 150+ projects a year; another served as board-level COO and CIO across the same group, leading 600 people in three countries. You get an embedded senior PMO lead day to day, with partner-level oversight throughout.
