Agenda Welcome Remarks Greg Balestrero Case Study: Siemens Corporation Facilitated Discussion Groups Share and discuss with peers some of the most critical questions organizations of similar project management maturity face when implementing OPM3 Panel of Experts

Welcome Remarks PMI Worldwide has currently 82 OPM3 Certified Professionals OPM3 is all about organizational self awareness Project management is about throughput and results as it relates to innovation Integration of process and product development with project management at DHL Note: PMI moving from an individual focus to an organizational focus and what is the ROI from investing in PM

Siemens Case Study Siemens began assessing its maturity in PM in 1992 and implemented its own Maturity in Project Management (MPM) model in 2002 Today MPM is in its 3 rd revision Since the launch of OPM3 in 2003, Siemens has considered the incorporation of the organizational project management best practice model into its MPM protocol Presentation describes Siemens pilot utilization of OPM3 in conjunction with its own MPM assessment protocol and results and conclusions they have reached to date

Siemens Case Study Initiative driven via the Center for Innovation and Project Management Worldwide Constitutes a team of 10 individuals Infrastructure wise it is a part of Corporate Technology Siemens is a product based engineering organization MPM is a key part of their management commitment So far they have conducted 140 assessments

Siemens Case Study In immature organizations the practice is usually higher A Level 3 organization is considered good MPM assessment came out in 2002 and OPM3 was reviewed by Siemens in 2004 and 2007 It is important to remember to not focus on the level! If you have a standard process and you are not measuring it You cannot ignore the upper level even if you are not there yet

Siemens Case Study Siemens does use extensions of the PMBOK such as Construction, Medical etc., If you can’t standardize and measure then there are a lot of other tools that you cannot measure! OPM3 is a business change process implementation and doing this is a program The 2008 update will contain the current version of the PMBOK and will also enhance both program and portfolio assessment

Siemens Case Study OPM3 provides gaps and recommendations Siemens assists with the organizational change Siemens is asking business units to identify their critical KPI’s ( benefits) and that is how they are measuring the value of OPM3 OPM3 indirectly ties into their Toyota system
