About this webinar
Everyone talks about the “strategy–execution gap”, but most of that conversation is vague, theoretical, and unhelpful. The real issue isn’t the gap itself - it’s where value is quietly leaking as strategy moves from the boardroom to delivery.
In this candid panel discussion, Stuart Easton is joined by Rebecca Reynolds, Fadi Bayoud, and Ben Chamberlain to cut through the buzzwords and get practical. Together, they explore why alignment keeps breaking down, what executives really care about, and the role the PMO must play if value is to be protected - not just reported on.
Rather than focusing on frameworks or methodology debates, the conversation zeroes in on real causes of value leakage and how PMOs can step into a more influential, enterprise‑level role.
Key takeaways from this session:
- Why the “strategy–execution gap” narrative hides the real problem
- Where value typically leaks across portfolios, governance, and prioritisation
- The questions PMOs should ask to expose misalignment early
- How PMOs can move from status reporting to genuine strategic influence
If you want to make your PMO indispensable, this recording is a must‑watch.
