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

What if the key to successful strategy execution isn’t just delivery—but how projects are set up from the start?

In this episode, Alexandra Chapman joins us to share how PMOs can shift from order-takers to Strategy Navigators and ensure projects are set up for success from day one.
