The rapid changes in the financial services industry have dramatically increased the demand for experienced program and project managers.  TSG has extensive experience in managing a wide range of programs and projects in the US and internationally.

Our assignments have included targeted projects with a specific set of goals and near-term deadlines to major programs where we have accepted responsibility for all aspects of a major client strategy that extends over several years. 

Effective program and project management requires:

• Analysis – Understand the goals, resources and constraints
• Planning – Identify the detailed tasks required to meet the objectives
• Participant coordination – Gain the cooperation of people with specific project responsibilities/deliverables who do not report directly to the project manager
• Follow-up – Tenaciously track the progress of every detail
• Reporting – Accurately and efficiently report on the project progress and identify potential problems as early in the process as possible
• Administration – Track the resource usage and report on potential issues

To accomplish this variety of tasks, we have professionals who are experienced with various project management tools, and who interact well with client managers at all levels from C-Level executives to first line supervisors.
