We Can Guide Your Project Execution Away From Potential Derailment And Toward Smooth Sailing.
As companies evolve over time, inevitably they take on a multitude of new programs or projects along the way. The sad truth is that many of these projects fail or have long-delays—which will limit goal achievement or lead to missed opportunities. This is due to a host of reasons. Key among them:
Lack Of Adequate Resources
New programs or initiatives can tax existing employees’ capacity, especially if they’re involved in multiple projects at once. AxiomPath can assemble a team of subject-matter experts to augment your staff.Our resources have the ability to lead industry specific projects, business and technology solutions enablement, and large-scale global engagements as certified project managers.
Lack Of Program Oversight
Often, companies initiate new programs/projects without having clear governance of them, resulting in chaotic execution or project failure. We can guide you through establishing a Program Office to monitor, prioritize, and manage the ongoing execution of your programs.
Lack Of Appropriate Technologies
Companies embarking on projects to transform their businesses often need new technologies or tools to execute them. With the emergence of new software technologies every day, selecting the right applications can be a daunting task. As a vendor-agnostic software selection facilitator, we provide process facilitation, solution awareness, and evaluation methodology to empower organizations to make the best decisions for their organizations.
Organizational Change Doesn’t Need To Be So Painful.
The initiation of new programs designed to transform businesses usually requires changes to company processes and protocols. Such changes disrupt the status quo and may be met with staff resistance at every level. If conducted without a methodical, intentional approach to managing the organizational change, transformational initiatives will likely fail.
AxiomPath’s proven OCM expertise helps companies successfully navigate the challenges that come with any variety major initiatives and projects:
- Software Implementations
- Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A)
- Process Transformations
- Business Process Outsourcing
First, we analyze the potential impacts to every employee and business area involved in the change, and we assess organizational readiness. From there, we establish a platform for managing the process and mitigating risks—from staff training and leadership coaching to communication strategies and tactics designed to inspire greater employee buy-in sooner.
We Can Help You Manage Risk, So It Doesn’t Manage You.
As companies rush to transform their organizations to keep the pace with continually changing business climates, the potential for risk is heightened exponentially. Enterprise transformation activities conducted without a solid risk management plan is a recipe for potential disaster.

Case Studies
The AxiomPath Advisory Team has successfully delivered challenging initiatives across multiple industries.
Consumer Packaged Goods
From a Global ERP Rollout, A Global OCM Program is Born
From A Global ERP Rollout, A Global OCM Program Is Born
The Situation
An international consumer packaged goods company was transforming their misaligned workforce and outdated, manual operational processes to a global ERP system (Microsoft D365). They also sought to leverage the ERP implementation as a way to establish an enterprise-wide Organizational Change Management (OCM) program.
AxiomPath’s Solutions
We began by educating the company around OCM principles (Impact, Readiness, Communication), and provided coaching and support on methods, procedures, tools, and methods. We stood up a global, project focused OCM program to support the delivery of D365 and integrated this into the project intake process to render right sized OCM touches for every enterprise initiative/project.
The Outcomes
We leveraged the success of the D365 OCM program we installed to establish an enterprise wide OCM program for future transformative company endeavors. To support this, we provided contract and permanent resources to implement and maintain the new global OCM program.

A Successful CRM Transition: From HubSpot to SalesForce
The Situation
Throughout an ERP implementation process, an oil and gas enterprise had encountered a host of challenges and experienced unfortunate material pain-points in their production as a result. The company sought the help of AxiomPath to identify the challenges associated with the new ERP solution and offer effective and actionable risk mitigation considerations.
AxiomPath’s Solutions
During a 4-week period, we conducted a post-mortem review of the ERP implementation process, focusing on several key areas: Governance, Approach and Execution, Organizational Change Management, Quality Assurance, Information Architecture and Reporting, Technical Execution, and Rollout.
The Outcomes
From our post-mortem review, we were able to document seven material impacts and we recommended mitigating actions (including Scope, Approach, Effort and Proposed Timing). Additionally, we isolated forty detailed observations, documented their descriptions and impacts, and offered recommendations.

AxiomPath Develops A PMO For A Rapidly Growing Pharma Company
The Situation
As a result of a global pharmaceutical organization’s explosive growth, they experienced serious organizational challenges associated with the subsequent transformation of their systems and processes. Further, they lacked the in-house resources or operating procedures needed to support the prioritization, execution, and governance of the ever-increasing IT projects/initiatives.
AxiomPath’s Solutions
Our team educated the company about project intake methods and the benefits of establishing a Project Management Office (PMO) solution, and provided coaching and support on PMO methods, procedures, tools and metrics. We then created and leveraged a tool to manage the PMO intake process.
The Outcomes
AxiomPath stood up a global, project focused PMO program to support the delivery of IT related projects, and fully integrated an OCM program into the intake process. And we provided contract and permanent resources along with an onboarding roadmap in establishing the PMO program.
