The right projects at the right time.
We bring order to your project portfolio: from the initial assessment through prioritisation and governance to the right PPM solution. Impartial, and with experience from projects in mid-sized companies and large enterprises.
Book a consultation appointmentTypical situations
Project portfolio management is more than a tool. It is about which projects move your company forward and which resources are available for them.
Too many projects, too little capacity
Everything has priority, teams are overloaded and deadlines slip.
No overview of the portfolio
Status, budgets and risks are buried in Excel lists and individual reports.
Decisions based on gut feeling
There are no clear criteria for which initiatives are started, stopped or postponed.
A tool decision is pending
You want to know which solution suits your organisation, or how to make better use of your existing tool.
Our consulting approach
We start with your goals and your situation. Only then do we turn to technology.
01
Analyse
We determine the maturity level: demand, prioritisation, resource planning, budget and reporting.
02
Design
Together we develop a portfolio process with roles, boards, criteria and key figures.
03
Prioritise
We assess the measures by benefit and effort and decide where you start.
04
Implement
We support tool selection, implementation and roll-out, ideally in waves.
05
Measure and improve
Key figures on throughput, utilisation and budget show where the process needs further sharpening.
Results
Depending on your situation, you receive tangible results on which you can base confident decisions.
Maturity analysis
Where your portfolio management stands today, with strengths and areas for action.
Portfolio process
From project request to completion: clearly defined steps and responsibilities.
Prioritisation model
Transparent criteria by which initiatives are assessed and decided.
Governance
Boards, roles and approvals that suit your organisation, whether classic, agile or hybrid.
Tool recommendation
A reasoned recommendation of which PPM solution suits you, or how to make better use of your existing tool.
Roadmap
Stages with effort and sequence, so that the implementation remains plannable.
Our principles
Five principles guide every consulting project, plus a sixth: we only recommend what suits you.
Goals first
The starting point is your goals, for example better predictability, less overload or clear priorities.
Processes before tools
A tool can only reflect what works as a process. That is why we start with the process.
Build on what exists
Existing systems and investments are taken into account. Something new is only added where it clearly adds value.
Step by step
For example, portfolio reporting first, then demand and resources: we start where the benefit is greatest.
Measurable results
Jointly defined key figures show whether the change is working.
Impartial
We are partners of OpenText and PlainPPM. Even so, we only recommend what suits your organisation.

Working together
We do not offer fixed packages. The scope and form of the consulting depend on your project.
Initial consultation
Free of charge: we listen and get to know your situation.
Scoping
Whether a workshop, interviews or an on-site analysis makes sense, we decide together.
Proposal
You receive a proposal for approach and effort that fits your project.
Consulting
We work closely with your teams and document the results transparently.
Implementation on request
On request, we also implement the recommendations, all from a single source.
From practice · Industry
For an industrial company, we set up multi-project management with time tracking and internal charging for in-house and external IT staff, with an interface to SAP CATS. 100 key users were trained and the solution was rolled out internationally.

FAQ
Yes. We are partners of OpenText and PlainPPM and know both solutions well. Even so, our recommendation is based on your requirements, and sometimes it is enough to make better use of an existing tool.
That depends on the scope. After the free initial consultation, you receive a proposal that fits your project. We do not offer fixed packages.
Not always straight away. Often a clear process with criteria and boards comes first. A tool pays off when it supports this process and saves effort.
Yes. PPM steers which initiatives are funded and prioritised. How the teams work, whether agile, classic or hybrid, is up to them. Read more in our article series PPM in Germany.
Yes, on request; then consulting and implementation come from a single source. But you can just as well implement the results with your own team.
That depends on your situation and the scope. A first baseline assessment can often be done quickly; we support larger projects over several stages.
We show you how automated workflows turn contacts into real customers.
