About this webinar
In this session, Laura Barnard shows why PMOs are uniquely positioned to close the gap between strategy and execution. She challenges outdated “templates-and-reports” mindsets and demonstrates how PMO leaders can become true strategy navigators that drive measurable business value.
You’ll discover:
- Why so many organizations fail to align budgets, resources, and strategy.
- The hidden root causes behind resource bottlenecks and project overload.
- Practical ways to earn a seat at the executive table by focusing on outcomes, not bureaucracy.
- How prioritization and value delivery transform the PMO into an engine of business success.
If you want your PMO to be seen not as a cost center but as a driver of strategic impact, this webinar gives you clear steps, language, and tools to make it happen.
