208: The Changing Scope of the PMO with Andy Jordan

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? Will changing the name to Strategy Delivery Office change what the organization actually does?  In this episode, I’m joined by my good friend and PMO thought leader Andy Jordan. 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.  Andy Jordan is President of Roffensian Consulting S.A., a Roatán, Honduras-based management consulting firm with a strong emphasis on organizational transformation, portfolio management, and specifically PMOs. He is an in-demand speaker, author, and instructor who delivers thought-provoking content in an engaging and entertaining style on project management-related disciplines, including PMO and portfolio management courses on LinkedIn Learning.  Make sure you register for the IMPACT Summit for free so you don’t miss Andy’s session.  Join us for this episode to learn why it’s not all in the name and why changing the scope of your PMO should be your primary focus.  Enjoy!  P.S. - The world’s largest virtual conference for PMO, strategy, and transformation leaders is BACK in September!
