IN pmexperts wierzymy, że prawdziwą wartość tworzymy razem z naszymi Klientami. Najwięcej satysfakcji daje nam długofalowa współpraca – taka, w której nie tylko dzielimy się wiedzą, ale też wspólnie rozwijamy organizacje.
Na co dzień dostosowujemy nasze działania do potrzeb partnerów. W naszej ofercie można znaleźć między innymi prowadzenie cyklicznych szkoleń dla pracowników, wsparcie w budowaniu i doskonaleniu wewnętrznych metodyk zarządzania projektami lub duże przedsięwzięcia szkoleniowo-mentoringowe. Za każdym razem celem jest to samo: rozwój i trwała zmiana.
One example of such a partnership is our collaboration with Transfer Multisort Elektronik (TME) – a Polish company with an impressive history and a truly global reach.
TME – from a family business to a global supplier
TME was founded in 1989 in Łódź. Today, it is an international distributor of electronic and electrotechnical components, workshop equipment, and industrial automation. The company ships a package every 16 seconds to customers in nearly 150 countries. Its portfolio already includes over one million products, and the TME Group consists of 12 subsidiaries across Europe, Asia, and North America.
Dynamiczny rozwój widać nie tylko w skali działania, ale i w infrastrukturze – od nowoczesnych centrów logistycznych po zaawansowane systemy sprzedażowe i informatyczne. Wiele z tych procesów wspiera Project Management Office (PMO), które czuwa nad realizacją strategicznych przedsięwzięć i rozwija wewnętrzną metodykę zarządzania projektami.
How did the collaboration begin?
Our cooperation with TME started in 2019, shortly after the company moved into its modern headquarters in Łódź. The first joint step was the PM Academy – a pmexperts training program based on the standards of the Project Management Institute (PMI®).
Importantly, the training sessions were attended not only by project managers and coordinators but also by employees playing key roles in the organization’s activities. This made it possible to build a wide group of staff members who understand the specifics of project-based work.
At the same time, there was a need for more individualized support. That is why we introduced one-on-one mentoring sessions, during which pmexperts consultants helped project managers tackle real challenges – from working with tools and analyzing risks to engaging stakeholders.
Continuation and development
Pandemia wstrzymała nasze działania, ale w 2022 roku wróciliśmy do współpracy. Nowa edycja szkoleń objęła pracowników, którzy nie uczestniczyli w poprzednich zajęciach. Tym razem postawiliśmy na intensywne, dwudniowe szkolenie „Managing Projects in Organizations”, osadzone w realnych przykładach projektów TME.
At the same time, we once again carried out a cycle of mentoring sessions – this time in the format of two meetings per year with each project manager. The first session was used to plan activities and select tools, while the second focused on evaluating their effectiveness and drawing conclusions. This combination of theoretical knowledge with practical support proved to be highly effective.
Next steps
In 2023, we expanded the scope of cooperation:
- further training sessions were held for new employees,
- we implemented mentoring in an extended format,
- and PMO leaders and management took part in a specialized training on project portfolio management – focused on prioritization and effective use of resources.
Additionally, we introduced mentoring dedicated to leaders and senior project managers, delivered by a pmexperts consultant with extensive experience in working with PMOs. This enabled participants to further develop their leadership competencies and manage project teams more effectively.
TME today and tomorrow
TME’s growth shows no signs of slowing down. The company has implemented the Hai Robotics system, automating part of its logistics processes, and opened another subsidiary – this time in India. As the scale of operations increases, so do the challenges faced by the Project Management Office.
Continuous organizational growth, fresh ideas – of which there is no shortage at TME – and the execution of increasingly complex projects require constant development of competencies. For us, it is both a great joy and an honor to support TME on this journey – sharing our knowledge, experience, and passion for project management.
