High quality program management and integration is an integral component to the success of complex programs and projects. ICOR works with its clients to provide management services to support programs and projects throughout their entire life-cycles: from initiation to planning to execution. In complex program environments, our program integration capabilities ensure that diverse project elements and dependencies are properly identified and synchronized - enabling on-time, on-budget, and on-target delivery. Our program management and integration approach and capabilities are centered on aligning portfolio, program, and project-level activities to the strategic intent of our client organizations, allocating the required financial and human resources, and executing project controls by implementing a Program Management Office (PMO) structure using the Program Management Institute’s Project Management Body of Knowledge - Bringing order to chaos.
