Quality Program Management

QBS Director of Professional Services Brian Grafsgaard is one of the most highly certified program and project management professionals in the Twin Cities, not to mention the first in the world to attain PMI’s Program Management Professional (PgMP) credential. Program Management can be one of the most difficult engagements for a consulting firm to undertake. QBS understands that outsourcing such a strategic role can be complicated without the right resources in place. In order to achieve success in Program Management, a consulting firm must fully understand your industry as well as your strategic goals and objectives - and fully appreciate your company culture.

QBS Program Managers possess skills and experience in organizational change management along with the experience requireed in your vertical industry. We are uniquely suited to analyze your situation and determine the best approach to manage and attain your organizational objectives. Our consultants have the experence to quickly adapt to changing conditions and deal with ambiguous situations, which is the very nature of transformational programs. We are hands-on leaders and are both strategic in nature (maintaining continuous alignment between the business and technology) and tactical (defining, planning, and executing the program as well as the resulting projects). We develop a laser-like focus on project interdependencies in order to minimize cross-project issues related to resources, scope, costs, and risk.

Program Management can only work if your consulting firm truly understands the culture and objectives of your organization. QBS takes time to gain that understanding to provide Program Management services that deliver 100% of the time. It’s too critical an undertaking to expect anything less.
