In this thought-provoking episode of the 4PM Podcast, your host Mounir Ajam challenges conventional thinking around the Project Management Office (PMO). While the PMO has long been seen as the pinnacle of project management maturity, Mounir asks a powerful question: What if the PMO is just the beginning, not the end?

Tune in as we explore:

✅ Why the PMO shouldn’t be treated as the ultimate goal
✅ The critical shift from structure to culture in project delivery
✅ What it means to embed project management into the DNA of an organization
✅ How aligning strategy, governance, and leadership creates lasting value
✅ The roadmap to institutionalizing project management across all functions

This episode, titled "From Office to Organization", dives deep into transforming project management from a standalone department into a strategic, enterprise-wide capability — one that drives change, delivers results, and becomes as foundational as HR or Finance.

Whether you're a project leader, executive, or someone rethinking how your organization delivers value, this episode will leave you with a fresh perspective and a call to evolve.

🎧 Listen now and join the movement from PMO to institutional excellence.
