Exploring Consistency, Discipline, and the F Word in Project Management

Welcome to the PMO Strategies Podcast + Blog, where PMO leaders become IMPACT Drivers! PMI Talent Triangle: Business Acumen Hi, IMPACT Driver!  I know, I know, as much as I tell you NOT to make your focus the templates and tools (or dare I say the "F-word" forms), you DO need them.    However, I do want you to consider how YOU think AND how you talk about them.  In my new book, The IMPACT Engine, I introduce a concept that reimagines these critical resources that I learned from my friend, Dawn Mahan, Co-Host for the IMPACT Summit.   And in this episode, Dawn joined me to explain why she refuses to call them templates or forms and what you should do instead so that you can get them to do the right work for you.   📌 Why Listen? Strategic Thinking: Move beyond checklists to drive better business outcomes. Real-World Insights: Discover the importance of flexibility and smart decision-making. Actionable Advice: Get practical tips to right-size your processes and boost productivity.   Tune in to learn how to talk and think differently about the necessary deliverables that will ensure you get these projects done with big IMPACT.   If you haven't ordered your hard copy of The IMPACT Engine yet, now is the time!
