Project Management

„We provide management, administrative and other coordination support to the advisory and research divisions.”

Learning from our personal professional experiences in the consulting market, we organise the consulting activities of Századvég Konjunktúrakutató with a tailored approach. To ensure that the divisions can dedicate as much of their resources as possible to their project delivery tasks, they receive ongoing support from our dedicated project management team in the administrative, management and coordination tasks associated with each of our projects. The PMO team oversees project monitoring and timesheet systems and is in constant contact with the financial and legal departments of the company, acting as a bridge between the divisions and the corporate back office functions.

About us

The Project Management Office is a service division of Századvég.

It provides ongoing support to the company’s eight specialised divisions in strategic planning, business development and monitoring. The professional background of the members of the PMO team also allows them to take part in the professional aspects of ongoing projects, extending the capacities and competences of the different divisions in projects with specific needs. Using this knowledge in organisational and process improvement, strategic planning and development policy in particular, the PMO team regularly implements projects on its own.

We believe that the added value of our existing knowledge base has international relevance.


The expertise of Századvég Konjunktúrakutató Zrt. typically supports the activities of Hungarian governmental and municipal actors, as well as market players. We also believe that the added value of our existing knowledge base has international relevance, and the PMO Team actively contributes to the expansion of the company’s international project activities.

Consultations

We participate in EU-level consultations and discussions on legislation and directives. The Commission confirmed on several occasions that our input is of particular value to them, especially as Eastern European Member States participate with much less intensity in these public consultations (often not at all).

Webinar series

We invite international speakers to our webinar series on topical issues of European relevance. From 2023, our presentations focus on personal events, the first of which took place in Brussels in May this year.

International consortia

As a member of international consortia, we participate in projects supporting consulting services to the central EU institutions, as well as in calls for proposals funded by central EU funds.

As a result, Századvég Konjunktúrakutató Zrt. signed its first international contract in 2022, which was followed by further international projects and cooperations.
