Paul's expertise in Smartsheet and project management tooling allowed my team to trust him to deliver the right platform to manage a $100M+ nationwide capital projects portfolio. He carefully examined our requirements, asked insightful questions, and made many astute recommendations that improved the quality of the final product. Paul's level of care and attention were truly top-notch, reflecting his high level of professionalism and drive. I highly recommend anyone in search of a PMO solution using Smartsheet to reach out to Paul; he will not disappoint.

Paul was such a great resource to build out my project in Smartsheet! He was responsive, asked the right questions, and provided realistic recommendations based on his experience. Not only that, he took the time to walk me through it at the end so I was comfortable with the solution and able to add new features in the future! Thanks Paul!!

Paul's guidance was key in allowing us to quickly realize many benefits - more time for the PMO to focus on strategy and alignment, more time for the PM's to spend on a successful implementation, better visibility and decision making for our executives.

Thank you Paul!

Paul is a true bar raiser and an exceptional Smartsheet consultant. We collaborated on a significant project management office design for Cushman & Wakefield to effectively manage over $500M in project benefits across the globe. Right from the beginning, Paul's ability to harness the power of Smartsheet (Control Center, Data Shuttle, API integrations, and more) elevated our approach and yielded impressive results. His innovative thinking and attention to detail played a vital role in the success of the project, from the initial brainstorming to the final execution.

Thanks to Paul's contributions, we were able to create a customized solution that continues to thrive and requires minimal full-time employee (FTE) support, enabling the company to maintain lasting success. Having worked in PMO for the past 10 years, what sets Paul apart is his remarkable talent for identifying tradeoffs and consistently raising the bar, making him stand out among his peers in the field. Any company would be incredibly fortunate to have Paul on their team, as he consistently delivers transformative results.

We recently completed a PMO implementation with Paul. He brings invaluable experience navigating not only the technical side of smart sheets but also best practices in developing dashboards views and other management tools along the way. The collaborative approach to the development of our tool led to a highly successful rollout in a relatively short window for our rapidly expanding business. I highly recommend Paul for anything you're looking to do inside the Smartsheet platform to utilize technology to more efficiently execute your business plans.

Paul is a Smartsheet wizard! I highly recommend his consulting services based on our collaboration at Cushman & Wakefield. Paul's expertise was instrumental in advising me on a Smartsheet build for the management of sensitive recruiting and retention data with a budget exceeding $100M. He is an exceptional problem solver, capable of tackling any challenge with innovative solutions. Paul is also an effective teacher and empowered me to independently utilize premium apps like DataMesh, Data Shuttle, and WorkApps, with which I had no prior experience. Paul's contributions were invaluable, and I confidently endorse him for any organization seeking a skilled Smartsheet consultant.

If you are looking for a trusted partner to bring your PMO Vision to life, you can look no further because Paul is the right advisor for you.

Paul has made a substantial difference in cultivating organization and collaboration for our teams. Lineage always has so much going on and the support he provided in enabling Smartsheet as a core project management tool has significantly improved the way we work.

My team responsible for managing an ever-growing real estate pipeline. As such, we were in need of a customized Smartsheet solution to manage the expanding global portfolio. Paul came in and immediately established himself as our trusted Smartsheet advisor with the insightful ability to translate business needs and requirements into Smartsheet solutions. He designed, developed, and implemented a bespoke Smartsheet solution tailored to our unique vision and objectives. This solution created visibility for all key stakeholders and drove more efficient work at scale. His flexibility, adaptability, and vision have enabled us to continue expanding and evolving the solution as the company continues to grow. He has been an instrumental part of our team’s success.

Paul is an expert Smartsheet implementation consultant.

Paul was a great teacher as well as implementor who understood requirements quickly. Paul was a pleasure to work with and very flexible to work with our globally dispersed team. A master of Smartsheet who keeps up with advancements and would be happy to work with Paul again in the future!

Paul made our organization's Smartsheet onboarding process a breeze! He was dedicated to delivering a solution that fit the unique needs of our enterprise. He truly listened to the wants and needs we had for the software and translated them into actionable solutions. Our onboarding experience would not have been a success without his coaching and advisement.

Over the last year we have been using the Smartsheet platform to enhance our processes, but it still didn’t get us to where we wanted to be. We always knew we could do more, but we didn’t have the knowledge on how, or even where to start. A chance meeting with Paul Koetke changed everything. [...]

The bottom line is that Paul was able to take our Smartsheet platform from one that kind of worked as long as we placed a ton of man hours into it, to a fully functional company management tool. Not only will this new platform help to negate hundreds of transactional man hours per month, but we are now setup with an easy to use and scalable interface.

I would highly recommend Paul to any company that is currently using Smartsheet to ensure that you have unlocked it’s full capabilities for your operations team and customers.

I had the pleasure of working with Paul on a crucial project in my new job, and I must say, he was an invaluable asset in achieving our objectives.

He had a remarkable talent for integrating my ideas into a functioning product that could be readily adopted by additional teams worldwide. What I truly admired about Paul was his unwavering commitment to finding solutions. Instead of saying "No," he always responded with a positive attitude, saying, "Let me see what I can do." More often than not, he presented viable alternatives that were readily accepted. I wholeheartedly recommend working with Paul if you're looking to deliver best-in-class solutions that are driven by well-defined functional and experiential use cases. Paul's service model is centered around providing cost-effective solutions, optimizing operational processes, and leveraging his extensive technical expertise. His dedication and ability to turn ideas into tangible results make him a true asset to any team or project.

I would absolutely recommend Paul to help you with your Smartsheet needs, and he would be my first call should I have additional needs.

Paul is a professional and expert when it comes to building a PMO System within Smart Sheets that is tailored to your specific company. He will always give an honest answer to all of your questions and ensure that you are content with the end result. If the program can or can't do it, he will be the first to tell you.

I am delighted to recommend Paul from Koetke Consulting for his exceptional proficiency in Smartsheet implementation.

Paul consistently provided invaluable support to multiple teams, swiftly grasping intricate workflows and transforming them into user-friendly solutions that maximized our Smartsheet capabilities. His versatility and extensive Smartsheet expertise consistently surpassed our expectations, positioning him as an indispensable partner in facilitating Lineage's growth trajectory and that of several of our subsidiary ventures.

Paul provided excellent advice on building sustainable and scalable tools to manage EPMO in a lightweight fashion.

Paul has provided value by understanding how project management integration for my company could be fitted to a Smartsheets platform, and then later on implemented by my company to make it work as a management decision making tool.

If you need to understand how Paul can help out in establishing a tool to help out with resource management, schedule management, and portfolio management, I would 100% recommend Paul to give you guidance on this.

We recently worked with Paul on revamping our Smartsheet platform. The new platform is night/day difference. Has now been truly embraced by our team and is much more admin friendly.

I have no doubt we will re-engage when we are ready to take our platform to yet another level. If you are looking for the right team, then look no further. Paul and his team will take care of you.

Amazing helper for a complete novice! I was fortunate to work with Paul on a large corporate PMS project using Smart Sheet. I had not used the program before and did not realize the capabilities it had! I am fairly IT tech savvy, but Paul was extremely patient, and often gave surjections on how I could make this a very effective tool. I had weeks of personal sessions with Paul, each time he reviewed my questions or concerns (or in many cases helped me fix what ever I had broken since the last time we talked) and walked me through it. The product he helped develop will be used within my company for years to come, and I cannot recommend Paul more. Thank you so much!

Paul Koetke has been a fantastic partner and drastically increased our operational efficiency. Paul is a consummate professional who demonstrated a wealth of skill to provide us a solution.

Smartsheet has become an integral of how we do almost everything now - the answer to most problems is "make a Smartsheet for that!
