At McKaram Consulting, we use the Galbraith Star Model that is a widely recognized framework for organizational design developed by Jay R. Galbraith. It is used to diagnose organizational issues and design effective solutions by aligning key elements (Strategy, Structure, Process, People, and Rewards) of an organization. This alignment ensures that an organization functions cohesively to achieve its strategic goals.
We offer a wide array of services, which include:
PROJECT MANAGEMENT OFFICE (PMO)
We help organizations in establishing and optimizing their PMOs, empower PMO leaders through tailored coaching programs, and deliver customized workshops that enhance capabilities and equip teams to master the art and science of project leadership.
As Project Management Evolves, So Must Your PMO.

CHANGE MANAGEMENT OFFICE (CMO)
Organizations often overlook the critical role of a CMO in driving sustainable success, despite its proven value in navigating complex transformations. The establishment of a CMO typically reflects the maturation of change management practices, evolving from isolated departmental efforts in areas like IT or HR into a specialized, organization-wide function. A CMO serves as a strategic enabler, integrating change management methodologies with project management to ensure alignment with corporate objectives.
By embedding change management into the PMO governance model, the CMO not only enhances operational efficiency but also supports the dynamic planning and execution of the organization’s strategy, making it an indispensable asset for achieving long-term strategic goals.
