Background

About Lars Toftegaard

Passionate PMO with more than 25 years of broad international business experience, including assignments in Denmark, Northern Ireland, Spain and Russia. Anchored in my professional career, I have developed a passion for project & program management and change & transformation and I am a firm believer in having a sound business operating system in place to support driving the right decisions and behaviours. As a PMO, I build structure, governance and capability across the end-to-end project portfolio management system. → to ensure that the pipeline prioritization approach is systematic which safeguards that chosen priorities are the most optimal and deviations from this become a deliberate choice. → to establish a project management governance that is lean and relevant for the project portfolio characteristics and with a sound control framework to ensure progress while managing risk. → to ensure that the project organization can deliver efficiently by assessing and enhancing their capabilities and by ensuring that they have the right tools and resources available while removing structural barriers in their path. → to ensure the change is anchored and benefits are sustained post project closure. My personal style is pragmatic & result orientated, structured & analytical and with a sound ability of translating strategic ambitions to tactical goals. I am an extrovert team player with strong stakeholder management, communication and interpersonal skills and am always interested in new ideas with the aim of continuous improvement.
