Strengthening Your Project Governance for Long-Term Success
At Bear Management Consulting Group (Bear MCG), we recognize that effective project governance is critical to ensuring project success, mitigating risks, and maximizing the value of your project investments. Our Project Governance Assessment (PGA) provides a comprehensive evaluation of your project governance framework, identifying areas where oversight, communication, and risk management can be improved to align with your business strategy.
Effective governance is the backbone of successful project execution, providing clear direction, accountability, and resource management. Our PGA helps you understand how your current governance structures impact project performance and offers actionable recommendations to improve decision-making and resource allocation.
Common Challenges We Address:
- Inconsistent project outcomes due to weak governance structures.
- Delays and cost overruns caused by inefficient decision-making processes.
- Lack of transparency and stakeholder engagement, leading to misalignment with business objectives.
With Bear MCG’s PGA, you can address these challenges and create a governance framework that drives success across all your projects.
What is the Project Governance Assessment (PGA)?
The Project Governance Assessment (PGA) is a tailored evaluation of your organization’s project governance framework. It provides deep insights into the effectiveness of your governance policies, processes, and decision-making structures. By assessing your project lifecycle management, risk compliance, and stakeholder communication, the PGA identifies gaps and inefficiencies that are limiting your project’s potential.
Key Features of the PGA:
- Governance Framework Evaluation: We review your governance policies, roles, and responsibilities to ensure clear oversight and accountability.
- Compliance and Risk Management: We evaluate how your governance framework mitigates risks and ensures regulatory compliance.
- Project Lifecycle Management: We assess the governance structure across the project lifecycle, from initiation to closure.
- Stakeholder Engagement: We evaluate the effectiveness of communication and engagement with key stakeholders, identifying any gaps.
- Actionable Recommendations: Receive clear, high-level recommendations designed to improve governance processes without revealing proprietary methods.
Why a Project Governance Assessment Matters
Strong project governance is a proven driver of success. Studies show that organizations with effective governance structures experience:
- 25% fewer project failures than organizations without structured governance (Source: PMI).
- 30% reduction in project costs due to improved decision-making and resource allocation (Source: Gartner).
- 38% higher success rates in project completion when robust governance processes are in place (Source: McKinsey).
These statistics demonstrate how improving your governance framework can lead to greater project success, reduced risks, and more efficient use of resources.

How the PGA Supports Long-Term Strategic Success
Bear MCG’s Project Governance Assessment (PGA) is not just a one-time evaluation. It provides the foundation for long-term improvements in project governance. By identifying gaps and offering tailored recommendations, the PGA helps organizations build a governance framework that aligns with their long-term strategic goals.
Foundation for EPMO or PMO Implementation:
Our PGA is designed to serve as the initial step in establishing a fully operational Project Management Office (PMO) or Enterprise Project Management Office (EPMO). By identifying governance weaknesses and inefficiencies, we help organizations build stronger governance structures that can be supported by ongoing PMO or EPMO services.
