Case Studies
PMO Value and Maturity Assessment
Leva Advisory's maturity assessment empowered a local authority to objectively evaluate and enhance the effectiveness of its capital works PMO. By benchmarking current performance against their previous self-assessment using the industry-standard P3M3 framework, Leva identified clear opportunities for improvement across seven key areas, including governance and benefits management. The tailored, user-friendly reporting provided actionable next steps and allowed our client to manage future maturity improvements independently. The assessment also confirmed strong endorsement of the PMO’s value and tools, while providing valuable cultural and change management insights to maximise future success.
Key benefits included greater clarity on maturity, actionable improvement areas and strengthened organisational alignment, equipping the client to drive more successful project outcomes in less time and with fewer obstacles.
PMO Roadmap
Leva Advisory enabled a regional council to transform its PMO from a narrow IT focus to a strategic, organisation-wide driver of project maturity. By collaborating closely and tailoring every step, from a clear, actionable PMO charter to a pragmatic multi-year roadmap, the council gained a robust, achievable plan for building governance, change management and delivery capability right across the organisation. Nineteen targeted initiatives over three years set the stage for ongoing benefits such as stronger project governance, higher transparency and better change management practices. Crucially, Leva’s empowering approach gave council staff full ownership of their PMO’s future direction, ensuring improvements are embedded and sustainable for lasting impact.
Project Management Software Review
Leva Advisory conducted an independent review of a local authority’s project management tool, gathering insights directly from staff through targeted surveys. This clear, evidence-based approach identified practical challenges with usability and reporting, enabling the organisation to address real issues rather than assumptions. Staff felt heard, and leadership gained trusted, actionable next steps to improve both the user experience and overall project delivery. With Leva’s support, the authority forged a stronger alignment between people, processes and technology, setting the foundation for faster, more effective decisions and better project outcomes.
Business Process Design
Leva Advisory delivered an independent process improvement review for a local authority, helping teams identify and prioritise pain points in project delivery. By providing objective analysis, Leva enabled the organisation to focus on high-impact changes. Facilitation built consensus on solutions, broke down silos and brought broader organisational perspectives to clarify objectives and dependencies. The result was greater acceptance of change, smoother cross-team collaboration, increased efficiency in staff effort and a faster approvals process—all achieved through evidence-based insights and a genuinely collaborative approach.
