VSI’s Transformation Success Stories
Explore real-world examples of how VSI has delivered measurable value across industries.
For a multi-billion dollar world leading automotive component manufacturer, VSI Technologies provided two world-class Program Managers to turn around and recover a Human Resources (HR) troubled initiative. The veteran consultants reset client/vendor requirements, milestones, resource projections, estimates, and delivery targets. Within seven months of program completion, HR expenses were reduced from $20 million to $6.8 million per year.
DTE’s investments in project management capability brought multiple major initiatives, including high-profile environmental remediation and renewable energy generation construction projects, in on time and under budget, saving hundreds of millions of dollars and creating millions more in new revenue sources. These improvements culminated in a 2014 finalist position in the PMO of the Year Award.
PM College developed and delivered a customized Project Management Training Program (6 courses) aligned with company processes. Course participants have demonstrated a 31% increase in their knowledge of project management tools and processes, even better than expected.
A customized project management training program improved milestone achievement tenfold in just 30 months. A value of training measurement program showed that raising the competency level of a program manager made it twice as likely that an initiative will meet all targets
Over the course of a year, training programs led to increased PM knowledge, $2 million in project management program savings, and improved program management skills to bring a number of major initiatives on line successfully.
For a world-wide provider of turbine-driven gas compression, oil pumping and power generation packages: VSI Technologies provided a senior-level project manager to lead the implementation of a warehouse radio frequency (RF) solution, being responsible for overseeing requirements gathering, systems design, procurement and installation of the necessary hardware and software, and coordinating user acceptance testing. Value Delivered: Thanks to a retooling of the materials management system incorporating RF automation, the company’s warehouse accelerated delivery speed of parts by 66%, creating a significant reduction in overall time to market. This complex automation project came in on time and more than 18% under budget.
For one of the largest privately-held staffing companies in the United States: PM Solutions implemented a fully-functional PMO including Project Portfolio Management tools after an unsuccessful first attempt at implementing a PMO on behalf of the Company. Value Delivered: The resulting visibility into projects allowed the client to recover 100% of the troubled projects in a portfolio valued at approximately $13M, while significantly improving project manager morale as well as project performance and customer satisfaction.

Dramatic increases in project execution capabilities and productivity resulted in $900,000 of operational cost avoidance during the current budget year.
