To help ensure efficient tracking and delivery of CADTH's products and to promote standards and continuous improvement across the Agency, the PMO supports Project Owners, Project Teams and Senior Management with a variety of services including planning, scheduling, risk & issue management, progress monitoring, facilitation of meetings and the gathering of lessons learned.Two of my key objectives were “Harmonize and streamline project management practices” and “Assist in optimizing CADTH’s research and production capacity”. I starting with customer needs analysis and alignment of business language. Partnered with the IT Team, I was a member of the standing SharePoint Project Server Steering Committee which directed the implementation of Microsoft’s SharePoint 2010 and Project Server 2010 (plus Project Web Access – PWA). We designed and refined dashboards, business reports and resource capacity models which led to an unprecedented level of performance reporting, capacity forecasting and organizational transparency. I developed and distributed communications to keep stakeholders informed, participated in training staff and management in the use of the reports and solicited user feedback. Collaboration with HR and Finance saw the introduction of CADTH’s TimeCapture tool which shed light on project costing and resource utilization.With input from the team, I developed the "PMO Charter" and the "Project Management Framework and Methodologies" documents to promote common understandings across the PMO and organization. I championed the adoption of LEAN methodologies, drove process alignment and documentation initiatives and introduced standardized tools to operationalize project management for standard products. The combination of these and other initiatives enabled the team to accommodate significant increases in organizational output (over 35%) without growing headcount.

During an organizational restructuring in 2010 which saw CADTH move to a matrix business model, and based on successes leading the cross functional Publishing team, I was requested to also lead the PMO which was the consolidated project management/coordination functions from 3 separate program areas. (see CADTH PMO and Publishing roles above and below)

As a centralized multi-disciplinary team, we provided Copy Editing, Substantive Editing, Translation, French Revision, Formatting and Logistics Support services to product development teams, Corporate Communications, Knowledge Exchange Team and Executive Office. We managed external vendors for graphic design, printing and mail house services and managed the storage and distribution of CADTH's printed materials, branded promotional goods and conference booth/displays.We drove several improvement initiatives during this time which resulted in a reduction in re-work, improved team efficiencies and final-end product quality enhancements. Our collaboration with the project management/coordination functions from the siloed program areas and the Web Team helped streamline production process flows, optimize quality/sign-off steps and shorten timelines while the CADTH Writing Style Guide and the CADTH Abbreviations & Acronyms documents increased consistency in language across information products.

Supported a diverse internal customer community in a fast-paced environment, through a multi-disciplinary team consisting of formatters, publishers and production staff who produced Chipworks’ information products including reports for litigation support and competitive analysis in the microprocessor and microsystems industry. With deadlines almost every day, this centralized services team labelled captured images, formatted reports, printed stacks of content and assembled "just-in-time" binders for extremely tight deadlines. Lots of hard work and fun doing it.
