Lansing-based Accident Fund Insurance Company was
recently named the “2008 PMO of the Year” by the Center for Business Practices
(CBP) for excelling in project management.
According to excerpts from the article:
According to CBP Director Jim Pennypacker, Accident
Fund's submission-produced by Innovation and Planning Department team members
Randy Cornell, Marsha Fenton and Manny Rosales—"stood out as the very
best" among strong competition that included finalists CPS Energy, Hewitt
Associates, the National Council on Compensation Insurance, and R.L. Polk &
Co.
Established nine years ago, Accident Fund's Project
Management Office was originally created within the company's Information
Systems Department. It has since evolved into an independent unit that is
dedicated to the implementation of the strategic initiatives for the
company. The Innovation and Planning PMO
is led by Director Norm Buckwalter.
"There's a real camaraderie across departments at
Accident Fund—a feeling that together we can accomplish almost anything,"
says Buckwalter. "Our role is to ensure that new business projects for
Accident Fund are nurtured from initial research to successful development, and
in alignment with the executive team's strategic vision."
