Strategic Program Advisors

Our Story

We’ve engaged with 11 large healthcare providers throughout the U.S. since 2005.  We built and led a large Program Management Office (PMO) for a health system in Phoenix, and transformed PMOs in Louisville, KY, Palo Alto, CA, Flagstaff AZ, Silver Spring, MD, and Danville, PA.  We rolled out electronic medical record (EMR) optimization in Springfield, MA, started a new data center in Las Vegas, led a cloud migration program in Sacramento, CA, and started the current State health insurance system in Boston, MA.  In all cases, these organizations needed process and capability improvements to enable them to accomplish business goals on an ongoing and long-term basis.         

We’re highly collaborative. We work with your organization to develop approaches that will work long-term for you. We listen carefully to understand what you need, work with your teams to understand capabilities and opportunities, and then present solutions designed to provide the outcomes you expect.

Our Mission

SPA helps create an environment that significantly increases likelihood that you will be able to deliver on your IT strategic plan.  We plan and design the structure and processes that will enable you to turn your intentions into reality. 

Our Values

We are outcome-focused.  We’ll do what it takes to ensure that you not only receive the value you expect, but that you also recommend SPA to others.  Your success is our success.

  • 48 years of project, program and portfolio management experience
  • PMO Director for 6 world class companies
  • 4 professional certifications
  • PMO of the year, and PMI project of the year

 

After years of working with CEOs, CIOs and CTOs struggling to “get stuff done”, we found a solution set that actually works. We want to share that approach because our professional satisfaction comes from helping others succeed.
