Global Project Management Office

Warner Music Group (WMG) embarked on a global workplace transformation across its offices in the UK, EMEA and APAC regions. The initiative involved multiple relocations and renovations, each managed by different third-party teams. The primary challenge was to ensure consistent project delivery standards, align diverse stakeholders and maintain clear communication across various time zones and cultural contexts.

G&T is providing Portfolio & Programme Management and Programme & Project Controls services, establishing a centralised Project Management Office (PMO) to oversee the global programme. We have implemented governance structures, standardised reporting and facilitated regular portfolio updates for WMG’s Global Workplace Experience Team. By hosting cross-time-zone workshops and collaborating with client-nominated designers and technical stakeholders, we ensure alignment of design scopes and adherence to technical standards across all projects.

Through G&T’s leadership, WMG will achieve a cohesive and efficient global workplace transformation. The PMO’s oversight ensures projects are delivered in line with WMG’s objectives, schedules and budgets, enhancing the company’s global operations. Our approach is not only streamlining project execution but also fostering a culture of continuous improvement, with lessons learned feeding back into the PMO process to benefit future initiatives.
