Sustainability-Focused Project Leader: Why We Are Uniquely Placed To Deliver the Sustainability Transformation

by Antonio Nieto

December 21, 2022 | 60:04 | Views: 7,632 | PDUs: 1.00 | Rating: 4.58 / 5

Bringing a sustainable future into our grasp relies upon the successful execution of thousands of well-conceived projects. Project management and project leaders are critical in achieving more sustainable practices. Executives must provide them with more flexibility in managing projects, moving past the traditional “iron triangle” of project management — managing time, budget, and quality. Sustainability cannot be achieved simply through rigid planning and traditional project targets. Project managers must be unleashed to reach these goals innovatively. CEOs should empower a new kind of sustainability-focused project manager to lead organizational transformation. The Project Management Office (PMO) can play an important role when analyzing new project ideas. It should develop new guidelines for sponsors and managers to increase the focus of their projects on such sustainable outcomes and benefits.

With the significant increase in automation of operations and the increase in change initiatives and project work, a new role is emerging in the executive committee. Companies are beginning to consolidate responsibility for orchestrating and successfully implementing the organization’s continuous transformation and significant strategic initiatives within a single C-level executive. And it’s not only multinationals and for-profit organizations. The chief project officer goes far beyond the traditional Project Management Officer role or the direct sponsorship of individual projects.

Moving Beyond the Project Portfolio

by Andy Jordan February 1, 2023

We have to look at more than just the traditional project portfolio when it comes to advancing a business—and that means PMOs also have to look beyond projects. But what does that actually look like? Two specific portfolios are becoming more critical to organizational success.

Positioning Next-Generation EPMO Leadership for Success

by Kevin Korterud December 20, 2022

Given the monumental engagement landscape of an organization that an enterprise program management office oversees, the skill requirements for an EPMO seem difficult to contemplate, much less possible to execute. Let’s look at a few behaviors that are needed to position the next generation of EPMO leadership for success.

Who Needs to Know?

by Andy Jordan December 8, 2022

As organizations strive to respond faster to ever-changing business conditions, their strategic decision-making windows get tighter. But they also need to remain open to a range of perspectives and input. How does that work?

The Problem With PMO Maturity Models

by Andy Jordan November 16, 2022

Attempts to pursue maturity as defined by a model may lead a PMO—and the larger organization—to miss out on opportunities to improve performance in other ways. If your maturity model isn't the right approach, what’s the alternative?

Is Your PMO Disrupted...or Disruptor?

by Andy Jordan August 17, 2022

Not everyone believes that PMOs have an important role to play. Some stakeholders still view them as reporting and oversight functions that have little relevance in today’s world. PMOs need to change that perception—and digital disruption is a good way to start.

The PMO as Service Provider

by Andy Jordan July 18, 2022

There’s been a lot of focus on empowering project delivery teams to work how they see fit, but what are the implications of that for PMOs in terms of their day-to-day work? There’s no single answer, but a services menu model can help.

Reimagining Benefits Realization

by Andy Jordan June 23, 2022

Is benefits realization a significant challenge in your organization? Perhaps it’s time to question your approach, to acknowledge that the process might be fundamentally flawed and results in a false sense of understanding what’s happening.

Does Your PMO Suffer From ‘TL; DR’ Syndrome?

by Andy Jordan June 17, 2022

To be relevant and valuable, PMOs need to speak the language of their stakeholders—and that’s often not happening. When it comes to your PMO communications, it's likely that you're providing too much information—or not enough.

What Defines PMO Success?

by Andy Jordan June 1, 2022

Don’t Replace the Triple Constraint!

by Andy Jordan May 4, 2022

The Biggest Mistake PMO Leaders Make

by Andy Jordan April 20, 2022

If PMOs continue to focus on drawing attention to themselves to demonstrate value by collecting, consolidating and regurgitating various project metrics, they will never make a difference. PMO leaders are too focused on what they are and what they need, not what they do for others—and certainly not what they enable to happen.

Where Do We Go From Here With PMOs?

by Mark Mullaly, Ph.D., PMP March 30, 2022

For every shining exemplar of a PMO, there are dozens—if not hundreds—of failed examples fallen by the wayside. This is not a good look. PMOs often start in crisis as a desperate response to a situation gone sideways, and sincere questions about their value emerge once the crisis resolves (or endures).

Topic Teasers Vol. 147: Getting the PMO To Listen!

by Barbee Davis, MA, PHR, PMP, PMI-ACP, PMI-PBA March 30, 2022

Question: With all of the recent changes in project management, our PMO (Project Management Office) needs to update itself. I think those ideas for new ways of working must come from the project managers, but I can’t seem to get the PMO to listen to me. Is there a clever way to present my ideas, based on my experience delivering products and services for this company, so that the PMO might actually update its practices?
