The Challenge

An ASX listed company, Bubs Australia Ltd, expanding globally needed to put the right delivery structures in place to support the execution of strategic projects to meet its 5-year plan. It lacked both a project management office (PMO) to run projects with rigour and a transformation management office (TMO) to manage value across the portfolio.

Our Approach

We were engaged to stand up dual delivery structures to ensure projects were effectively prioritised, interdependencies were managed, and leaders had full visibility across the portfolio:

  • Implement a PMO and TMO framework designed to manage active projects and systematically track portfolio value.

  • Establish foundational mechanisms first, focusing heavily on structured project intake, strategic prioritisation, and unified reporting.

  • Create a single, standardized pipeline for bringing work into the business to eliminate fragmentation.

What We Delivered

  • PMO & TMO Implementation: Deployed comprehensive project and transformation management offices tailored to support rapid global expansion.

  • Intake & Prioritisation Framework: Designed a clear, objective basis for deciding which initiatives mattered most to the 5-year strategic plan.

  • Portfolio Reporting Systems: Rolled out a centralized reporting architecture that clearly highlights where value is being created and where it is at risk.

The Outcome

Bubs gained focus and prioritisation on the right projects, with interdependencies across the portfolio now visible rather than hidden. Project management rigour lifted, and decision making became better and faster because leaders could see the whole picture.

Value Tracking & Visibility

Before working with Evolvere, we had ambitious

strategic projects but no consistent way to prioritise them, manage the interdependencies, or see where value was at risk. Christine and the team stood up our PMO quickly and pragmatically, focusing on the foundations that mattered: intake, prioritisation, and unified reporting. The difference is tangible. The process enabled the board to engage with management with clarity and certainty with respect to strategic priorities resulting in greater buy in. Decisions are faster, the portfolio is visible end to end, and we're executing against our five-year plan with real rigour.
