CASE STUDY
When clarity and alignment drive outcomes, organizations thrive.
A global leader in child care and workforce education solutions faced significant challenges aligning its portfolio of initiatives with its overarching strategic goals. Teams struggled with fragmented project tracking, unclear task ownership, and inconsistent reporting mechanisms. Leadership lacked visibility into how initiatives supported enterprise priorities, leading to resource inefficiencies and decision-making delays.
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.
Recognizing the need for a structured and results-oriented approach, the organization engaged 5280 PMO. Renowned for their expertise in operational optimization and strategic program management, 5280 PMO implemented a comprehensive solution designed to address the organization’s unique challenges.

We spent hours with individuals, listening, answering questions, and building trust until every person felt confident in their role within the new system.”

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.”
