PMI Connects Consulting Firms to Organizations

The PMI Consultant Registry is a new online directory that helps organizations like yours find project, program and/or portfolio consulting firms.

As the number of projects organizations undertake continues to grow and are becoming increasingly complex. Because of this, you may rely more on consultants who can help you:

  • Objectively assess your current project management practices against industry-recognized best practices.
  • Identify improvement areas in your project management implementation.
  • Focus on opportunities to drive its business performance and results.

With thousands of consulting firms out there, the PMI Consultant Registry helps you cut through the clutter and search for a consulting firm that fits your unique needs.

Each consulting firm in the registry supplies one case study per practice area of expertise or per industry. These case studies provide an example of a consulting engagement and the value of their solution. These case studies can help you gain insight into the consultant's competency and ability to fit your organization’s unique needs.
