We have a P.M.O office in our firm in which all project management staff are located.
When ever there are new projects and these people are working hard, they are well recognized and appreciated by the organization.
At the times when there are no new projects due to market status or bad economy...
The company starts to look to the project management people as extra cost that needs to be cut, they start thinking of firing these people or reassign duties to them.
What to do in such case ?. How to convince the company of the great value of project management personnel ? what are the strength points that can be presented to the organization ?
What to do in such a case ? Saving Changes...

Remember that a project manager is a manager. Just because you don't have a project for them, doesn't mean they cannot contribute as line or middle managers. See if you can't place them temporarily in various roles and positions across your organization.
Any experience and knowledge they pick up will only help them once they come back to project management. Saving Changes...
