Services built for practitioners
and the organizations that need them.
Every engagement is tailored to your actual context — not a pre-packaged program pressed into a shape that doesn't fit.
1:1 PM Coaching
For PMs who are doing good work but feel stuck — not promoted, not heard, not given the strategic room they've earned. We work on the gap between where you are and where your role actually allows you to operate.
This isn't soft-skills coaching. It's positioning work. We start with your stakeholder map, the decisions you're being left out of, and the communication patterns that may be holding your influence back.
- 6 or 12-session coaching arcs
- Stakeholder influence mapping
- Executive communication frameworks
- Career positioning and promotion strategy
- Between-session accountability check-ins
“Working with Ori changed how I think about my role entirely. I stopped showing up as a coordinator and started showing up as a strategist. The difference was visible to my VP within weeks.”
Senior PM, Healthcare Technology
PMO Design & Build
Whether you're standing up a PMO for the first time or restructuring one that's lost credibility, we bring the governance architecture and cultural intelligence to build something that actually gets used.
The trap most PMO builds fall into is prioritizing process over adoption. We design for both.
- PMO charter and governance framework
- Tooling selection and configuration
- Intake, prioritization, and portfolio review cadences
- Stakeholder alignment and executive reporting design
- Handoff and knowledge transfer documentation
“The PMO build was practical, fast, and genuinely fit our culture. We didn't get a generic framework — we got something our team actually uses.”
VP of Operations, Regional Health Plan
Agile Transformation
Most agile transformations fail not because the framework was wrong, but because the adoption ignored the culture it landed in. We start by diagnosing why previous attempts didn't take before prescribing anything new.
The result is an agile practice shaped to your team's actual working style.
- Agile readiness and culture diagnostic
- Methodology selection and customization
- Facilitated team ceremonies and rituals
- Coach-the-coach enablement for team leads
- Retrospective cadence and continuous improvement design
“We had tried agile before and it never took. This time felt different because it started with an honest look at why the previous attempts failed.”
Director of Delivery, Operations Division
Project Recovery
When a project has gone sideways — timeline fiction, scope collapse, executive trust eroding — the instinct is to fix delivery. We also ask: what value can still be extracted, and how do we reframe this honestly to leadership?
Recovery isn't just about getting green again.
- Rapid project diagnostic and risk inventory
- RACI restructure and accountability reset
- Executive rebaseline narrative and communications
- Scope and timeline recovery planning
- Post-recovery retrospective and lessons architecture
Team Workshops
Facilitated, hands-on sessions designed around specific team friction points — not generic PM training. Each workshop is scoped and delivered based on a pre-work diagnostic with team leads.
Common engagements include stakeholder influence, risk reframing, and executive communication.
- Pre-workshop team diagnostic and scoping
- Half-day or full-day facilitation
- Custom workshop materials and frameworks
- Post-workshop implementation guide
- Optional follow-up session at 30 or 60 days
Portfolio Strategy
For senior leaders who need their portfolio to actually reflect the organization's strategic priorities. We build the framing, prioritization logic, and review architecture.
Most valuable when there's a mismatch between what the portfolio says and what leadership actually cares about.
- Portfolio audit and strategic alignment review
- Prioritization framework design
- Executive portfolio reporting structure
- Resource allocation and capacity modeling
- Portfolio governance and review cadence
Common questions.
What does an engagement cost?
It depends on what the work needs. A six-session coaching arc for one PM is a very different engagement from standing up a PMO, so pricing is set after the discovery call, once we both understand the situation. You'll know the scope and the price before anything starts.
Is the discovery call really free?
Yes. It's 30 minutes, needs no preparation, and comes with no pitch. If an engagement doesn't make sense, we'll tell you so, and point you somewhere useful if we can.
How long does an engagement last?
1:1 coaching runs in arcs of 6 or 12 sessions, with accountability check-ins in between. Organizational work is scoped to the situation; recent engagements have run from 8 to 16 weeks. Workshops are a half or full day, with an optional follow-up session at 30 or 60 days.
Do you work remotely?
Yes. Ori is based in Monterey Bay, California, and works with clients everywhere. Coaching and most consulting happen over video, and workshops can run in person or online.
Can my employer pay for coaching?
Many PMs use a professional-development or training budget for coaching. If that's your plan, mention it on the discovery call so the proposal fits what your employer needs to approve it.
What if I'm not sure which service fits?
That's what the discovery call is for. Choose "I'm not sure yet" when you book a call, or take the free Project Health Check first to see where your project stands.
How do you keep my information confidential?
Every engagement runs under a confidentiality agreement, and a mutual NDA is standard. Case studies are anonymized before they're shared. The Data Security & Privacy page has the details.
Engagements are scoped, not slotted.
Pricing is determined after a discovery conversation — because the right engagement for a solo PM navigating a promotion looks very different from standing up your first PMO. Let's talk first.
