    Cummins AME wins PMO of the Year Award

    Nov 23,2018
    00b13c9c6e1f07db8f09807b98befcd0

    Cummins Africa Middle East (AME) has been awarded the Project Management Office (PMO) of the Year Award during a conference hosted by Project Management South Africa (PMSA) on 15 November. The Award honours and promotes local innovation in project management offices.

    The Project Management Office (PMO) was established at Cummins in 2014, and introduced a standardised project and programme management methodology for projects such as facility investment and new business entity start-ups. The main aim was to provide Cummins AME with a consistent project delivery standard that would enable more efficient project delivery, improved compliance with Cummins’ policies and procedures, local legislation, and the adoption of best practice in terms of Health, Safety and Environment (HSE), risk, IT, and branding, among others.

    The PMO focuses on effective delivery and functional excellence, explains Eileen Marx, PMO Leader, Cummins AME. An important part of this enterprise has been the implementation of training and other initiatives that enables best practice project management throughout the AME region. In addition, Cummins offers a unique PMO internship to employees who are interested in project management.

    Since its inception, the PMO has progressed from general introduction of project management best practice in 2015 to embedding the adopted strategy in 2016 and progressing to facilitating project delivery in 2017. The latter was particularly important given the 2017 merger of the Africa and Middle East regions, which not only increased the overall project portfolio but grew the broader PMO mandate as well.

    “PMSA is known for its high standards, and we are humbled by our selection as winner of the PMO of the Year Award.

    “The enabling environment PMSA creates for practitioner development through diverse means has become an unmissable feature of the programme management landscape in South Africa and internationally. The recent PMSA conference was well attended and the calibre of speakers was excellent. We have learned a lot from the conference and will employ as much as possible in our quest to provide our company with best practice PMO support,” Marx concludes.

    PMSA introduced the awards programme to celebrate excellence in project management and research in South Africa. The Excellence in Research Awards were first held in 2010, while the Exceptional Project Management Awards were introduced in 2012. The awards programme is biennial, allowing nominees to submit work that achieved completion during a two-year before submission deadlines.
