In addition to classroom experience, UMT's faculty members have expertise in consulting experience with corporations and public-sector organizations. The faculty constitute a pool of resources that your organization can tap to become more productive and efficient.

UMT's consulting services include the following areas:

Evaluation & Assessment

UMT can assist organizations in evaluating and assessing their project management capabilities. The services include independent validation of cost and schedule estimates on projects. UMT also can perform a comprehensive review of project performance and make recommendations for improvements.

Project Management Office

The project management office is an increasingly popular tool for organizations to manage their work. The challenge is for the office to function as an effective tool for accomplishing goals rather than as simply another layer of bureaucracy.

UMT can assist organizations in establishing effective project management offices. We can help to determine what the offices should do, how they should be organized, and how they can function most effectively. UMT can also identify ways to obtain support from management.

With UMT’s assistance, organizations can establish effective project management offices that improve their productivity and effectiveness.

Project Management Recovery

Is your project in trouble? Missing deadlines and facing budget overruns? Not meeting specs?

Don't worry. It can happen to even the best project managers. Fortunately, there is help available.

UMT can assist in getting those troubled projects back on track. We can work to analyze what went wrong and where the bottlenecks are occurring. With our assistance, organizations can work out recovery plans that will allow them to complete their projects.

Mentoring

UMT’s mentoring program is designed to serve organizations that don't need full training or degree programs. Our pool of management experts can provide one-on-one mentoring and just-in-time training in a wide range of areas. Our experts have broad experience in consulting for multi-national corporations, government agencies, and non-profit organizations.
