From Project Execution to Business Value

PMO Strategies

Welcome to the PMO Strategies Podcast + Blog, where PMO leaders become IMPACT Drivers!

PMI Talent Triangle: Business Acumen

Hi, IMPACT Driver!

If you’ve ever felt like your executives and other stakeholders don’t really appreciate all you bring to the table (or maybe even see you as administrative overhead), you’re not alone.

In this week’s episode, I’m diving into one of the biggest mindset shifts that separates project managers and PMO leaders from true strategic leaders.

It’s time to stop managing and start leading.

I share how to break free from the “order-taker” mentality and focus on delivering real business outcomes – not just outputs. I even share a personal story from The IMPACT Engine about how asking the right questions transformed the way my PMO was perceived by leadership.

Here’s the thing – leadership doesn’t care about project plans. They care about results.

So what are you doing to shift your focus to the results?
