Work is happening. Value isn’t. Most organizations don’t need another AI tool, disconnected automation, or reporting layer. They need operational systems that coordinate execution across workflows, teams, and systems. I work as an embedded implementation partner inside transformation engagements — helping organizations operationalize fragmented workflows into production-ready systems with: * workflow orchestration * operational visibility * AI operationalization * workflow state management * cross-functional coordination * production deployment I frequently partner with agencies, consultancies, and leadership teams that need embedded operational systems implementation support inside client engagements. The focus isn’t theoretical strategy. It’s designing and deploying systems that survive production. That system typically includes: * operational workflow mapping * structured data architecture * workflow state design * routing and escalation logic * API-driven orchestration * AI-enabled operational workflows * operational visibility layers * human-in-the-loop governance * cross-functional execution coordination You don’t get recommendations. You get a working operational system your team can actually run on. If your operations feel fragmented, manual, difficult to scale, or dependent on constant coordination overhead — I redesign the operational layer underneath the work. Fixed-scope SOWs. Clear deliverables. Production-focused execution.

Most PMOs produce reports. I build the systems that produce decisions. After 12 years running project controls on programs from $60M to $400M (EPC, construction, SaaS, ERP), I've seen the same pattern: PMOs that track everything but influence nothing. Executives get slide decks. Nothing gets decided. I come in, find the real gaps, and build governance frameworks, executive dashboards, and AI-powered PMO systems that leadership actually opens on Monday morning. What I build: → PMO governance from scratch: RAID logs, intake processes, change control workflows, RACI charts, and templates teams actually use (not bypass) → Executive dashboards (Power BI + Smartsheet) with live CPI/SPI, S-Curves, risk heatmaps, and one-page flight plans → AI-powered PMO operating systems: automated status synthesis, risk flagging, and reporting via Make + Claude API → Integrated master schedules in Primavera P6 and MS Project: from 25-project construction portfolios to 5,000-task EPC programs → EVM reporting (CPI, SPI, variance analysis) that finance and executives can read without a translator At Algonquin College, I built the PMO governance framework for a $75M ERP transformation across 7+ workstreams, eliminated 10+ hours per week of manual reporting, chaired the Change Control Committee, and integrated MS Project, SharePoint, JIRA, and Excel into a single reporting system. Over the past year I've extended this work into small businesses and SaaS development companies, teams that need the same discipline but with a lean approach. For these clients I typically deploy Smartsheet or Asana as the operating backbone, scaled to fit the team size and budget without the enterprise overhead. ------------------------------------------------- How I work: I don't need 3 weeks of onboarding calls before I start. I diagnose fast, build faster, and hand off with documentation your team can actually use. Week 1 - Diagnostic: I find the real problems, not just the obvious ones. Week 2–3: Build: governance frameworks, dashboards, automation, schedules. Delivery: A working system, full handoff documentation, and a 30-minute walkthrough call. Everything is deliverable-driven and async-friendly. If you want structured weekly check-ins, I build those in. If you prefer async-only, that works too. I respond within 12–24 hours and communicate in plain language, no consultant-speak. Not sure if this is the right engagement? Start with the Free PMO Health Check [link in profile] before you commit to anything. ------------------------------------------------- What clients say: "Grateful for Amir's expertise in all things PMO, governance and the hands on ability to demonstrate how to execute. The most difficult challenge at Algonquin was controlling the hybrid approach which included getting change management buy-in for the various ceremonies, multiple control tools (vendor/3rd party included) such as MS Project/Project Server, SharePoint, Jira, Service Now, SmartSheets and Azure DevOps. Amir is tremendously skilled in monitoring the governance impacts in near real time and making the necessary adjustments for delivery. I always think of Amir for his early consultation when I need to approach a new engagement. Thanks Amir!" Sam Wong - Algonquin College ------------------------------------------------------ "Amir has been working with our organization "PAND Settlement Service" for the past six years in various capacities, including five years as a strategic advisor and board member, where he played a key role in building the governance backbone of our organization. His strategic mindset, structured approach, and ability to translate complex project data into clear executive direction have significantly strengthened our operational efficiency and long-term planning. In addition to his leadership contributions, Amir has delivered high-impact PMP, Excel, and Project Management workshops for our community and designed a comprehensive Educational Email Course for our employment program, all of which received remarkable feedback. Most recently, as a member of our Board of Directors, he continues to advise at the executive level, providing valuable insight on organizational roadmap development and strategic growth."
