Services Description

SOMOS provides project management mentoring across all industries to facilitate our clients' development and application of project management skills and techniques. By working on-site with our clients, including managers and project team personnel, our project professionals can guide and instruct staff to help ensure the success of both the team and the project.

Following client training, SOMOS project management professionals offer continued support by "shadowing" the project team to provide real-time coaching and guidance, including on-the-spot project strategizing.

Examples of SOMOS engagements for Project Management Mentoring:

Business Process Re-Engineering Project
Life Sciences Research Company

As part of a re-engineering initiative, several senior staff had to learn and apply a range of project management skills and techniques. A SOMOS consultant worked closely with the managers, understanding their old methods, identifying the differences, and ensuring that the necessary knowledge transfer took place.

Product Development Laboratory
Technology-Based Manufacturing Company

As a follow-up to a project management training program, SOMOS consultants provided individual support and mentoring to the managers within the group. This support ranged from clarification of concepts to application assistance, tailored workshops and development of new practices for project management.

Human Resources System Implementation
Government Department

A SOMOS project manager provided mentoring to managers within an organization that was very new to the concepts of project management. Work included review of plans, assistance in the development of project strategy, preparation of executive briefs, and communication with functional support groups.
