About Us

Global Project Management Group (GPMG) is a high-impact consulting firm focused on providing management services that improve your bottom line. Our high-impact consulting approach actually works with you to provide value added solutions to your problems rather than applying canned conventional solutions which do little to change your situation. Our philosophy is focused on eliminating those non-value-added processes and minimizing resource effort to implement projects as efficiently and as effectively as possible.  Whether we are implementing our Project Portfolio Management As A Service (PPMaaS), managing large capital or IT projects, or instilling knowledge in your resources, our focus remains the same.

Our History

Global Project Management Group (GPMG) was founded in 1993 by James Klanke, PMP.  James began his consulting practice after serving many years as a project manager at AT&T Microelectronics. Over the past 24 years, GPMG has served many clients in a variety of industries with a wide variety of needs from implementation of Project Management Offices to management of large capital projects to providing training and mentoring to organizational leadership for management of projects and portfolios. GPMG remains a boutique consulting firm with a focus on successful client delivery and innovative solutions. While the focus has not changed much over the last 24 years, it has matured. Clients can no longer tolerate traditional project management, portfolio management, or strategic management processes. Clients require common sense flexible adaptable value-added approaches to all their problems. GPMG has led the way in much of the common sense value-added approaches constantly supplying clients with fresh ideas to improve ROI at all levels of the organization.
