Lack of Strategic Alignment in Research Projects
Projects across Labs, IT, and Administration often lack standardization and central oversight, leading to resource waste. OneDesk enforces a standard process for project intake, execution, and reporting. Every project aligns with the institution's strategic scientific goals. Gain total portfolio visibility.
Standardized Project Intake and Tracking
Use a unified portal for PIs and departments to submit new large-scale research or infrastructure proposals. Every submission becomes a trackable project request. Use a review workflow to ensure alignment with the Director's strategic vision before approval. Custom dashboards give the PMO a real-time view of all active and planned institutional work.
Manage Project Portfolio and Resource Balancing
Manage the entire portfolio of scientific, infrastructure, and administrative projects. Easily level resources (staff, budget) across competing projects. Use portfolio views to see project health and risk at a glance. The PMO ensures critical resources are not over-allocated and scientific priorities are met.
Automate Project Reporting and Governance Compliance
Automatically move a research proposal to 'Review Board Approval' once the budget document is attached. Set up rules to send weekly project health reports to the executive leadership without manual compilation. Send automated reminders to Project Managers for overdue grant milestones. Automation ensures consistent governance.
Track Cost and Effort for Major Initiatives
Track all internal labor costs and project-related expenditures. Log the non-billable time of staff allocated to specific institutional-wide strategic initiatives. Use the system to create internal budget quotes for proposed capital projects. This provides the PMO with clear, data-driven resource utilization analysis.
AI Helps Analyze Project Risk and Dependencies
The AI assistant can quickly summarize project status reports for the executive team. Use AI to analyze the complexity and potential risk of new large-scale research or infrastructure project requests. It can draft initial project charters based on approved proposals. This speeds up the crucial decision-making process.
