  • So much impact in this podcast

    What a treat to be a guest on Laura’s podcast - she is focused on delivering practical, impactful strategies to PMO Officers and leaders who are responsible for making an IMPACT in their organization and it was a delight to be a guest sharing my book, Exceptional Experiences. Highly recommend her show.

  • Discusses (& discusses well) generic project management problems. In short - PMOs need to take ownership. I think it's underestimating the change that AI and large models are bringing to our industry.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

361: The Entrepreneurial Mindset Every PMO Leader Needs Right Now with Eddie Monroe
Q: What does Eddie see as the core difference between traditional PMO thinking and an entrepreneurial PMO mindset?
The core difference is shifting from a governance-centric, process-heavy approach to one that centers on delivering business outcomes, cultivating culture and customer experience, and operating with an executive-level mindset that treats stakeholders as customers.
359: Trust and Alignment: The Real Drivers of Success with Dr. Kimberly Strickland
Q: What are quick actions PMO leaders can take to start moving the needle?
Start with one high-influence relationship, have a real conversation about alignment and success, and use short, focused check-ins to surface candid feedback. This builds trust, clarifies expectations, and can reveal issues that would otherwise linger for weeks.
347: Evolving PMOs: Agility and Data-Driven Value with Youssef Mouzahem
Q: What is the first step that PMO leaders can take if they want to start evolving their operating model?
The first step is diagnosis; PMO leaders need to assess their current objective state and understand stakeholder perceptions, strategic alignment, and delivery performance.
347: Evolving PMOs: Agility and Data-Driven Value with Youssef Mouzahem
Q: What advice do you have for PMO people to balance agility and governance?
It's crucial to have adaptive governance, tailoring controls based on project context and size while fostering a servant leadership approach to support teams rather than enforce compliance.
347: Evolving PMOs: Agility and Data-Driven Value with Youssef Mouzahem
Q: Why do you think it is that PMOs struggle to stay relevant in today's digital environment?
Traditional PMOs focused on predictability and control, which clashes with today's need for speed and adaptability amid constant disruption and evolving customer expectations.
