I recently started at a new client that SO reminds me of the very first company I worked at when I just started in the PM business and it made me think about the difference of growing organically versus formally.
What I mean by this is we have all seen PMOs implemented pretty rigidly - here is the new process, everyone must use these templates, this checklist, yadda yadda, yadda... But how many of us have seen an organic growth of process change (and it doesn't have to be limited to pmo - i just picked that one because of the site)? What do you do when everyone agrees change is needed but the majority of the constituents aren't sure why to change or how to change? In the back of my mind, I'm still thinking I'd have an implementation plan but what does that look like when you want it to seem organic???
