Get critical projects done by experts who own the result.

Project and program solutions help organizations get critical work done through specialized expertise and delivery models built around the work to be accomplished, versus bringing on talent that needs to be managed by your organization. They can range from executing a defined project to coordinating an ongoing program, embedding specialized expertise, or outsourcing responsibility for a business process or function.

Kelly brings together specialized businesses, industry expertise, and flexible delivery models to build outcome-based solutions around your objectives, desired level of control, and the results you need to achieve.

Project delivery focuses on executing a defined scope of work with specific objectives, timelines, and deliverables, while program delivery coordinates ongoing or interconnected work toward broader business objectives. A project typically has a defined beginning and end. A program may encompass multiple projects, workstreams, teams, or evolving priorities that need to be managed together over time.

Program delivery can include governance and oversight, resource coordination, management of dependencies and risks, performance tracking, and ongoing alignment across workstreams. The right approach also depends on how much delivery responsibility you want to retain versus place with a solutions partner. Kelly can provide specialized expertise for a defined project or take on greater coordination and management across an ongoing program, depending on your needs.

Project delivery services can be a strong fit when you need to complete a defined body of work with specific objectives, timelines, and deliverables, rather than simply add talent to an existing team. Traditional staffing provides professionals who work within your team and management structure, while project-based solutions can align specialized expertise, resources, and delivery support around the work to be accomplished.

Consider the expertise and capacity you have in-house, how quickly the work needs to be completed, and the level of delivery responsibility you want to retain. If you need a partner to take on greater responsibility for execution and defined results, a project delivery solution may be a better fit than adding a temporary resource for your team to manage.

Kelly offers both staffing and project delivery solutions, giving you the flexibility to choose the model that fits your objectives, internal capabilities, and desired level of delivery responsibility.

The right project or program delivery solution depends on the work you need to accomplish, the expertise and resources you have in-house, the duration and complexity of the work, and how much delivery responsibility you want a partner to take on. A defined initiative with specific deliverables may be best suited to project delivery, while ongoing or interconnected work may require program delivery and greater coordination across teams, resources, and workstreams.

Other models can address different needs. An FSP can embed specialized expertise within your organization while you retain greater control of the work, while BPO can shift responsibility for a defined business process or function to an external partner.

Kelly can help you determine the right delivery model and level of support based on your objectives, internal capabilities, and desired results.

Business process outsourcing (BPO) is a delivery model in which an organization transfers responsibility for a defined business process or function to an external solutions provider. It can be a strong fit when you want a partner to manage the people, processes, technology, and day-to-day operations required to deliver defined results, allowing your internal teams to focus on core business priorities.

A functional service provider (FSP) provides specialized expertise and resources within the life sciences industry for specific functions or activities while allowing the client to retain control of the work, processes, and overall delivery. FSP teams can support clinical operations, clinical data management, biostatistics and statistical programming, medical writing, pharmacovigilance, regulatory affairs, and other specialized functions across the clinical development lifecycle.

An FSP can provide anything from an individual subject matter expert to an entire functional team, with professionals embedded into your existing systems, processes, and workflows. The model can be especially valuable when you need to fill specialized skill gaps, scale resources for a study or program, manage changing demand, or build sustained functional capacity without fully outsourcing the work. VGS specifically describes its model as scalable from one expert to a full functional team.

Through Vita Global Sciences (VGS), a Kelly company, Kelly provides an FSP solutions model that combines life sciences expertise with flexible delivery and ongoing program support while allowing clients to maintain greater control over their work.
