CHALLENGE
Two of Brazil’s leading pharmaceutical companies have recently become part of a joint venture. Given the size of the two organizations (together > 2,000 outlets), many ideas and strategies are required for the joint venture to harmonize, operate and achieve many things.
The joint effort is to support the creation of a PMO that focuses on the implementation of 24 projects, starting with the opening of a new distribution center to strengthen financial management.
APPROACH
Given the diversity of initiatives, it is important to establish a strict management system that allows for visibility, control and important work across different documents. We work closely with user teams to develop a custom control approach that integrates into their existing systems and tools.
Since is the PMI era, the two organizations are working in different fields, so the PMO plays an important role in model building, sharing best practices and communicating. There’s also the goal of creating a new organizational culture, so in the three years we’ve been involved we’ve dedicated ourselves to building internal resources through working closely with the client team by identifying business partners/units.
RESULT
As a result of using this method: all 24 projects were successfully completed over three years. This includes the opening of two new distribution centers, the creation of new business centres, the consolidation of more than 2,000 sales points, the improvement of processes and management, and the establishment of a management system.
PMO is the foundation for integration and reaching a new level of business in the pharmaceutical market.
