The Need for Transformation: Why Project Management Must Evolve Beyond the PMO
Manage episode 504311178 series 3532900
In this episode of the 4PM Podcast, host Mounir Ajam explores why project management must evolve beyond the traditional Project Management Office (PMO). Despite decades of certifications, frameworks, and tools, project success rates remain frustratingly low. The real issue isn’t effort—it’s structure.
Mounir breaks down the systemic inhibitors holding organizations back, from fragmented practices to weak governance integration. He makes the case for a bold transformation: moving from siloed PMOs to a Project Management Division (PMD) led by a Chief Project Officer (CPO).
You’ll discover:
- Why project management is facing a credibility crisis
- The root causes of high project failure rates
- How vertical and horizontal integration drive strategy execution
- The PMD model and its role in delivering consistent value
- Practical frameworks like Uruk’s Value Delivery Methodology and the PCA Model
This episode is a call to action for executives: project management isn’t just support—it’s strategy. To thrive, organizations must embed it as a core function of governance and leadership.
If you’re ready to rethink how your organization delivers value, this episode will give you the roadmap to turn vision into realization.
