Welcome to the PMO Strategies Podcast + Blog, where PMO leaders become IMPACT Drivers! PMI Talent Triangle: Business Acumen (Strategic and Business Management) Hey, IMPACT Driver! There’s been a lot of talk lately about PMOs being reimagined with a different title to reflect alignment with value. But should renaming your PMO be the primary focus?

Andy will share what’s to come in the future of PMOs, and how the scope is evolving to create a highly valued organization that executives can trust to deliver results.

Welcome to the PMO Strategies Podcast + Blog, where PMO leaders become IMPACT Drivers! PMI Talent Triangle: Business Acumen (Strategic and Business Management) Hey, IMPACT Driver! Last week, I told you about my debate with fellow thought leader Crystal Richards at the University of Maryland Project Management Symposium. We discussed whether a process-first vs. principles-first approach yields more success in helping your business leaders achieve their goals through projects. In that episode, I also challenged you to ask yourself if you wanted to be thought of as an Order Taker or an IMPACT Driver. If you’re here, that probably means you want to be an IMPACT Driver. But what does that actually mean to you and what do you do right now? In this episode, I’ll be giving you the answer...along with a few questions to ask your business leaders so you can have better conversations that will lead to better business outcomes for your projects.

Welcome to the PMO Strategies Podcast + Blog, where PMO leaders become IMPACT Drivers! PMI Talent Triangle: Power Skills (Leadership) Recently, I asked my IMPACT Engine System™ and IMPACT Accelerator Mastermind™ program participants to share their journey through what I teach. I asked them to tell me about where they were when they started, their biggest challenges, how the work they have done in the program has changed them, their big "ah ha" moments, and what they would tell their former selves now that they are where they are with what they now know. Their responses were so powerful that I couldn't help but cry. I saw how much they have grown and was so darn proud. So, today I am sharing some of the insights that they said they wish they could tell their former selves before starting the journey of building or elevating their PMO or strategy delivery team. I hope you find this helpful in supporting you where you are today and feeling a little less alone in this process. I'm incredibly proud of them and honored to support them. Building a PMO or strategy delivery team is not easy, but it's worthwhile. Just remember that you don’t have to do it alone. Enjoy!

Welcome to the PMO Strategies Podcast + Blog, where PMO leaders become IMPACT Drivers! PMI Talent Triangle: Business Acumen (Strategic and Business Management) Hey there, IMPACT Driver! In many organizations, the strategy development process and the project definition process are not connected. When this happens, the PMO and business units are left trying to backward map the projects they’ve defined to the strategy the leadership created. This misalignment is the underlying root cause of many of the challenges that appear to be related to resource management, prioritization, and project execution failures. This is just a hot mess! Here’s a lesson that many PMOs and business units learn the hard way - what you’re working on is WAY more important than how you get it done. In this episode, we’ll help you understand what it takes to connect the dots and align execution with strategy the right way so that you can set those projects up for success from the start AND ensure that you’re delivering the highest possible return on investment for the organization strategy as quickly as possible.

Have you ever heard your business leaders say this? “OK, great! While you’re building the PMO can you also just manage a few projects, too?” WHAT??

If you: Are a PMO of one person and they are trying to squeeze every last drop of effort from your soul, are trying to move up from managing projects to building a solid foundation of sustainable services and capabilities to deliver more value, or have a PMO team doing projects but listened to the podcast I did about working IN vs. working ON the PMO and realize you’re not spending enough time ON the PMO, then this episode is exactly what you need to find a better path forward. Don’t bother trying to sell the PMO to get out of this vicious cycle. Instead, do what I teach you to do in this real-life example from my PMO leadership days!
