Consulting & Tailoring
Consulting & Tailoring
We support the development of company specific project management methodologies which allow the optimal adaptation to the particularities of a business.
Adaptation to your needs
With the new Standards of PMI giving more emphasis on “tailoring” of project management performance areas, STS will be delighted to elaborate company specific project management approaches according to the company’s needs. Such approaches are no longer process driven but include managerial as well as leadership aspects to promote high performing teams.

STS supports companies in assessing the knowledge and skills of individuals (project managers or team members) or in defining an organization’s capacity in managing its projects and business operations (with the help of the OPM3 Model or other project management maturity indicators).
Definition of KPIs
Based on the assessment results, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are identified. The KPIs enable the company to lead the improvement process and align it to the company’s strategic objectives.
