About this episode

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

PMI Talent Triangle: Power Skills (Leadership)

Hey, IMPACT Driver! 
 
Do you think that organizational change management belongs in the PMO or in a separate business unit? This has been a hot topic in recent years.
 
How exactly is it different from project management, and is it necessary? Can’t any project leader lead enterprise-wide change? 
 
What if an intentional organizational change management function is what your PMO is missing? 
  

This week, I welcome my friend and IMPACT Summit speaker, Jennie Fowler, to explore this topic with me.
 
Jennie has 25 years of experience in IT and Enterprise PM sectors across industries. She has started and/or matured 8 PMO / EPMOs in her career in roles such as Strategy Realization Office Sr. Director, Head of IT PMO, Head of EPMO, and CIO. In 2021, she started a new as the Global Director of Project Management with Percepta.  Now, Jennie is also in the top 3 finalists for the PMO Leader of the Year for the Americas.
