About

Who we are and why we’re obsessed with PMOs.

Hi, I’m Hussain Bandukwala

I founded Parwaaz Consulting in 2014 after over a decade in the consulting space (including with a Big 4 firm).

Since then I’ve served mid-sized organizations, private-equity backed firms, and Fortune 50 clients spanning over 12 industries across the globe.

And in between have talked to, worked with, and taught 1000s of project and PMO leaders through client and speaking engagements, and via my LinkedIn Learning courses.

It Remains Clear to Me

That despite the evolution and increasing complexities of project management and PMOs, the fundamentals are being sacrificed to adapt to the latest trends and the innate desire to appease stakeholders quickly.

PMO leaders are going rudderless with blank slates from their bosses, following half-baked strategies, confusing methodologies, straying away from their job descriptions, inundating teams with PM tools & templates, and completely ignoring change management.

They’re able to launch their PMOs fast, only to realize that they crash even faster.

As a result, they lose the opportunity of a life-time to make a significant impact on their organizations while boosting their own career trajectories.

Research shows that 50% of PMOs will fail within the first 3 years of their existence.

I know we can turn it on its head because PMOs are far more valuable than the probability of a coin toss!

No wonder in today’s ultra-competitive business environment

organizations are counting on bullet-proof PMOs to bring calm, foster collaboration, oversee project excellence, boost workforce happiness and realize long-term cost savings.

Why?

So that they can surpass goals, retain top talent, and be able to out-scale (and not just outgrow) their rivals. And so, as PMO leaders, your role becomes vital in setting up and optimizing PMOs – first-time right.

The PMO journey remains an exciting but a progressively challenging one.

And while figuring it out all on your own is commendable, it’s fraught with risks that neither you, nor your organization may be able to afford.

Perhaps another option is collaborating with someone who’s been through this many times before, seen all kinds of scenarios, and helped others surmount similar roadblocks through battle-tested approaches?

How We Are Helping

At Parwaaz Consulting, it’s our goal that every person we have a conversation with walks away knowing more than they knew before about all things PMOs and project management.

We help organizations set up & optimize their PMOs, empower PMO Leaders through our coaching programs designed specifically for them, and provide customized workshops that uplift capabilities and guide teams to conquer the art & science of leading projects.

Most often leaders come to us when they need a step-by step approach for developing their PMOs or taking them to the next level. Other times leadership is looking for an “outside” perspective to act as a sounding board and provide accountability support through their PMO journey.

And in some cases, they want to not only focus on developing their teams’ core project management skills that help deliver projects effectively and consistently, but also the intangibles that come with it, such as change, influencing, negotiating & conflict management.

With our group coaching in particular, project leaders approach us when they want to find out how to effectively go from a career in project management to becoming a bona fide PMO leader.

If you’re curious what a partnership with us could look like or just want to chat about project management in general.

Let’s Chat

We doubled the speed of our PMO setup with Hussain as our PMO Coach… our organization went from no projects getting completed to a 73% success rate on strategic initiatives.

Nathan R.

(PMO Director), USA

Hussain was instrumental in partnering with me to setup the PMO from ground up which was recognized as a success by both the CTO and CFO. We were able to increase confidence of stakeholders by improving the on-time/on-budget delivery of projects by 30%.

Chris C.

(PM Officer), Canada

With his thought leadership and extensive PMO experience, Hussain was quick in identifying inefficiencies within our established PMO and provided a comprehensive approach framework for the operational team to implement the top priority items.

Ihtisham Q.

(PM Office Lead), Canada

Hussain’s ability to deeply listen, tailor his approach & partner with clients is unmatched. He’s generous with his time & forthcoming with artifacts. Hussain expertly facilitates groups & guides individuals. I look forward to many more engagements with him!

Jamie C.

(Director), USA

Before the group coaching program I was very uncomfortable with my skills, and with my new role in creating and building out the PMO. By the time we were finished, the program helped my mind frame be more strategic in how I should fulfill the role.

Shawnita M.

(PMO Lead), USA

Hussain provided a lot of value in approaching a PMO senior position interview & its expectations in today’s world. His understanding of PMOs is very mature & this helps in him providing the right insight to candidates seeking a career in PMO.
