Abstract | The management of collaborative research projects can present certain challenges, such as the development of multidisciplinary teams, ensuring alignment of the collaborative partners and generating the required level of impact from the project. The project management office (PMO) is an organizational unit designed to standardize how projects are delivered and achieve efficiencies through deploying best practice gained from the delivery of successive projects. Therefore, there is much scope for the PMO to support the management of collaborative research projects. This paper will provide an overview of how a PMO has been established at a higher education institution in order to support the development and management of collaborative research projects. The case study investigation includes a number of managerial insights on how the PMO structure and processes were implemented in a collaborative research context. These insights have been synthesized into a set of critical success factors for PMO implementation that will inform future research in this area and will also be of use to practitioners looking to implement a new PMO to support collaborative research projects. |
