201: What to Call the PMO

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!  Is the term “PMO” being left in the dust?  It's a big question, but let's be real — the name PMO can carry some serious baggage.  Some business leaders love it, while others have had bad experiences and want nothing to do with it.  That's where the conversation starts - with how prior experiences shape perceptions of PMOs and why executives like to be involved in the process.  But that's just the beginning!  Whether you call it a PMO, strategy delivery office, transformation office, or something else entirely, I’m giving you the tools to ensure you and your team are set up for success in this rapidly changing business environment.  Join me in this episode now to unpack what's happening in the industry, how the PMO is evolving, the mindsets of business leaders, and what it means for YOUR organization.  Enjoy!  P.S. - Have you registered to join us for the very first International PMO Day on May 9th, 2023?
