PMI Talent Triangle: Business Acumen

Hi, IMPACT Driver!

Have you seen PMI’s latest report on redefining project success? If you’re like me, your first reaction was probably, “Well, of course!”

For years, we’ve known that project success isn’t just about execution – it’s about delivering measurable value that aligns with business goals. But the fact that PMI is now championing this shift marks a significant turning point for our industry.

👉 The focus is moving from just getting things done to driving outcomes that matter.

In this week’s podcast episode, I break down PMI’s new perspective on project success and what this means for you as a PMO leader or project manager. Spoiler alert – this shift validates everything we’ve been talking about in The IMPACT Engine book and the IMPACT Driver Mindset concepts we cover in the IMPACT Accelerator Mastermind.

Here’s what I’ll walk you through in this episode:

📊 Stop celebrating deliverables and start measuring outcomes.
🎯 Every project must tie back to strategic objectives.
🏆 Owning the lifecycle of success doesn’t stop at delivery.

This isn’t just a small adjustment – it’s a complete redefinition of what it means to lead projects with IMPACT. And if you’re ready to step into that role, this episode is for you.

Click play above to listen now.

Here’s to growth and IMPACT,

Laura

P.S. I’ll also be hosting a free workshop on January 28 on becoming an IMPACT Driver and aligning your projects with business goals. More details inside the episode!

Thanks for taking the time to check out the podcast!
