About this webinar

In this session, Americo Pinto, founder and MD of the PMO Global Alliance at the PMI, joins host Stuart Easton to unpack why strategy execution often breaks down — and how high‑impact PMOs can fix it.
 
Using insights from the PMI's Bridging the Gap report, they explore the disconnect between what executives expect and what PMOs deliver, why alignment without good prioritization fails, and how value is ultimately a perception game. You’ll also discover the difference between resource and capacity planning, the politics behind decision‑making, and the four customer groups every PMO should serve.
 
What you’ll learn:
  • Why strategic alignment is a cultural challenge, not a technical one
  • How to build prioritization with executives, not for them
  • What makes a PMO truly value‑centric
  • Why capacity planning must shift to the strategic level
  • The four customer groups every PMO must support
  • How perception, buy‑in and clarity drive PMO credibility
Together, these insights give PMO leaders a practical, no‑nonsense path to shift from “process police” to indispensable strategic partners.
