About this episode

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

PMI Talent Triangle: Business Acumen

Have you ever found yourself focusing on building perfect processes, only to realize they weren’t solving the real problems?
 
In this week’s episode of the PMO Strategies Podcast, I share the story of Samantha, a new PMO leader who faced this very challenge. She quickly learned that success in a PMO isn’t about the templates and processes—it’s about solving the right problems and delivering results that matter to your stakeholders.
 
💡 Key takeaway: The true value of a PMO lies in driving business outcomes, not just enforcing compliance.
Tune in to hear Samantha’s journey, and discover how you can shift your focus to align with what really matters for your organization. 🚀
