CASE STUDY
This early education strategic execution initiative helped a global leader in child care and workforce education solutions bring structure, visibility, and accountability to a fragmented project portfolio. With unclear ownership, inconsistent reporting, and limited executive visibility, the organization partnered with 5280 PMO to connect strategic priorities to measurable action and improve how critical initiatives moved across the enterprise.
To close the gap between strategy and execution, the organization needed more than project oversight. It needed a strategic execution partner that could bring structure, visibility, and accountability to the full portfolio. Through 5280 PMO’s strategic execution offering, the organization gained a disciplined framework for connecting priorities to action, improving leadership visibility, and ensuring critical initiatives moved forward with clarity and control.
These issues left leaders questioning whether their project portfolio reflected the organization’s priorities. Optimizing performance and delivering on critical initiatives was impossible without a unified system.
The organization engaged 5280 PMO to bring structure, visibility, and accountability to a fragmented project environment.
5280 PMO assessed the existing gaps in project tracking, task ownership, reporting, and leadership visibility, then implemented a comprehensive execution framework designed to align daily work with strategic priorities.
Through clearer governance, standardized reporting, and a consistent communication cadence, 5280 PMO gave leadership the visibility needed to make faster decisions, reduce execution risk, and ensure critical initiatives stayed connected to the organization’s goals.
“Resistance often stems from fear—fear of change, fear of failure, fear of the unknown. Addressing that fear takes empathy and relentless communication. We spent hours with individuals, listening, answering questions, and building trust until every person felt confident in their role within the new system.”
Ceneé LaTulippe, CEO, 5280 PMO
5280 PMO defined a set of clear, measurable objectives aimed at resolving inefficiencies and laying the foundation for sustainable success:
5280 PMO applied its strategic program and project management framework to improve visibility, clarify ownership, and establish execution discipline across enterprise initiatives.
“When one team member pushed back on Smartsheet, feeling it added more to an already full plate, we saw an opportunity. I worked with him one-on-one, walking through how a little upfront effort could drastically reduce his workload over time. Within three weeks, he not only embraced the system but became its biggest advocate. This shift wasn’t just about tools—it was about building trust and proving the value of change.”
Rhianna Sutula, Program Manager
