One to One recognized for its contribution to the PMI’s Organizational Project Management Maturity Model

One to One Interactive has recently been recognized by the Project Management Institute (PMI) for its contribution in supporting the development of the global Organizational Project Management Maturity Model (OPM3). 
 
Changes in the global economy have required organizations to realize that in order to thrive, prosper and grow, their organizational strategies must be successfully executed.However, the ability to execute ultimately constrains and defines strategic possibilities. At the same time, consensus is growing that project management is a critical organizational capability that assists organizations in successfully implementing strategies. In response to this interest in linking organizational strategies with successful, consistent and predictable project outcomes, PMI chartered the Organizational Project Management Maturity Model (OPM3TM) project team.The project team's purpose was "to develop a global standard for organizational project management for use by organizations of various sizes and types, in various industries and cultures, to guide the development of capabilities necessary to execute organizational strategy through successful projects.” The publishing of the OPM3 standard marks the 20th anniversary of PMI’s first attempt to codify the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK).
 
Since 1998, over 800 volunteers from 34 countries across the globe have volunteered in a virtual environment to define and refine the lexicon of organizational project management and organizational project management maturity within OPM3. Further, they have captured the essence of a holistic approach to organizational project management via best practices. OPM3 will help organizations to understand and assess their organizational project management maturity and, if desired, will provide assistance for charting a course toward improvements in organizational project management.
 
One to One initially announced its participation in the project in June, 2002 (One to One participates in development of PMI's OPM3 model). Bill Haeck, One to One’s VP of Delivery Services, served as the Deputy Director of the OPM3 program helping to co-lead the development of the global standard. “One to One is pleased to have contributed to the development of the OPM3, recognizing the standard is of groundbreaking importance for the project management profession”, states Jeremi Karnell, a founding partner of One to One. “We are proud of Bill’s leadership and tireless commitment to ensure that not only is One to One at the forefront of program management best practices, but the industry as a whole has a solid framework to adopt and deploy”.
