Thomas Cutting, PMP
Thomas Cutting, PMP, is a Sr. Principal Consultant and spearheads the Project Management and PMO practice at C3G, an IT consulting and professional services company. With an eclectic history of clients that spans the energy, entertainment, retail, insurance, banking, health care and automotive verticals, he brings cross-industry ideas to his training, writing and conference appearances.
From creating code to establishing Program Management Offices, he has experienced firsthand the problems teams face at all levels. This has taught him that the key to an effective PMO is to listen to the issues and work with the team to find practical resolutions, not impose strictly theory-based processes.
His contributions to the Project Management world include articles for Computerworld; input to Project Management Institute’s Standard for Program Management – 2nd Edition; and presentations at conferences for the PMI, International Institute for Software Process and the Southern California Quality Assurance Association.
