p3m global is a specialist project, programme and portfolio management (P3M) consultancy focused on empowering our clients to realise successful change and deliver on their promises.
In partnership with our clients we optimise their investment by applying the right blend of solutions, drawing from the most comprehensive, integrated and coherent range of P3M services in the World. In this way, working with genuine integrity and flexibility, we demonstrably enhance our clients’ ability to execute and evaluate their corporate strategies.
When investing in P3M development, many organisations limit the scope of their investment to one or two areas. They may purchase a software tool, enhance some processes or get their people certified in an industry standard, like PRINCE2 or PMP. None of these is enough.At p3m global, we believe true organisational P3M capability comes from targeted and balanced improvement initiatives in three key areas: People, Process and Technology; and each of these should empower the other.
These are just some of the questions that need to be asked and addressed to achieve real and measurable improvements in performance and they need to be dealt with in a structured, coordinated way. So if you’re serious about change, contact us.

To ensure smooth and effective adoption of Primer, p3m global tailored its PMF (Project Management Fundamentals) course to specifically reference and reinforce the practices defined in the Primer methodology.
